We are watching the Washington Jerusalem two step. Only the excruciatingly feeble minded would believe that Hillary Clinton is actually and truthfully berating Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu. The glaringly obvious orchestration of this week's Middle East events is being conducted by Leonard Bernstein and Itzhak Perlman. It is to throw the Arab Street a bone.
Those familiar with search engine optimization know the importance of keywords on Google, Yahoo! and Bing Crosby, aka Father Chuck O'Malley. The important keyword in this story is "1600". 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is The White House, the home of change we can believe in. A black President, the son of a Muslim, in the middle of the war on terror, is certainly change. Imagine Ayatollah Khamenei appointing Pee Wee Herman President of Iran. How about Dr. Dolittle?
Last week Joe Biden went to Israel to make peace in the Middle East.
While he was there, Israel approved 1,600 new housing units in East Jerusalem. There are already 500,000 Jews living there and in the suburbs. Israeli and Palestinian leaders haven't spoken in a year. Recently, Israeli and Palestinian leaders had agreed to hold indirect proximity talks. If you have no idea what that means join the club. Benjamin Netanyahu said that he had no idea that the 1600 houses were being approved in East Jerusalem. There is nothing on the face of this story that is remotely believable, and yet it has sent the Palestinians, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and the Quartet into absolute shpilkus mode. It is possible that it was a practical joke by a member of the Shas Party, a Jewish affiliate of the Tea Party.
In law, it is not only important that justice be done; it is equally important that justice be seen to be done. In "As You Like It", written in the sauna, William Shakespeare said, "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages… then a soldier full of strange oaths..jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, seeking the bubble reputation, even in the cannon's mouth; and then the justice, full of wise saws and modern instances, and so he plays his part; a world too wide for his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice, turning again to childish treble, pipes and whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, that ends this strange eventful history, is second childishness and mere oblivion, sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans (without) everything."
9/11 was the prelude to Iraq and Afghanistan. "1600" is the prelude to Iran. Our leaders have almost turned America into Weimar Germany, victims of depression, poverty, willing to fight, to go for broke. "1600" was planned for years, at Annapolis. It gives the United States the opportunity to appear even handed to the Arab League, our allies against Iran. Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton on behalf of Barack Obama are scathingly scolding Israel and Benjamin Netan Yahoo! "How dare you Jews build houses in East Jerusalem! We haven't even had time to slice the mortgages into derivatives yet! What were you thinking?!"
Oil and water don't mix. The United States, Europe, Russia and China run on oil and gasoline. Hillary Clinton has not been sleeping for the past year, but it has been hard to hear her above the drone of Health Care Reform aka The Insurance Company and Pharmaceutical Company bailout. Peace is hard to see because it is invisible. The papers don't print, "Chicago wasn't nuked today!" However, behind the scenes, (if you call winning the Nobel Peace Prize behind the scenes), President Obama, Vice President Biden, and Secretary Clinton have made incredible steps towards world peace in one short year.
In the Old Testament, the Holy Scripture of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, God said to the founder of Judaism, Abraham, "I Am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess…Know this for certain, that your offspring (the Jewish People) shall be aliens in a land that is not theirs, and shall be slaves there, and they shall be oppressed for four hundred years; but I will bring judgment on the nations that they serve, and afterwards they will come out with great possessions. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abraham saying, "To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt (the Nile) to the great river, the River Euphrates (the Green Zone), the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, the Hittites, (Mo the Hittite hit .239 in 1939 for the Dusseldorf Braves), the Perezzites (founders of great hotels), the Rephaim, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebbushusites." (Genesis 15: 7-21).
Nuclear scientists will tell you that nuclear world war III will be followed by nuclear winter then ultraviolet summer and the extinction of life on Earth forever. This is why the U.S. and the Soviet Union never attacked each other with nuclear weapons, because of MAD, mutually assured destruction. The problem today is that this concept has been too hard for Ayatollah Khamenei to grasp.
President Obama is about to come from behind and win like Zenyatta. Dial back a year. John McCain was saying, "Whenever I see Vladimir Putin I think of only three letter: K, G and B." John McCain was singing "Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran at town hall meetings. This was understandable given the disaster of a nuclear armed Iran. The problem was that John McCain and the Bimbo Sarah Palin were planning to attack Russia for its incursion into its own states in Georgia. Then President Obama got elected and pulled out George Bush's missiles in Poland and the Czech Republic, President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin turned on Iran, and President Obama and President Medvedev became best friends. Prime Minister Netanyahu has been shuttling back and forth between Moscow and Jerusalem.
President Obama gave Ayatollah Khamanei every chance but he was rebuffed. Ayatollah Khamenei spit in President Putin's face. Today the bunker busters are being delivered to Israel. Hillary Clinton has been saying for a year, "I cannot believe how now all of the major players are now on the same page on Iran."
The Middle East Quartet was formed to solve the Israel Palestine problem. Right now Iran (Hamas) controls Palestine. Iran is the head of the snake controlling Palestine (Hamas), Lebanon (Hezbollah) and Iran is threatening to take all the Middle East oil. The Quartet is a foursome of Russia, the European Union, the United Nations and Tiger Woods. The quartet slammed the 1600 homes (a Tiger Slam). Two days ago Jordan's King Abdullah (one of our teammates) met in Moscow with President Medvedev. This week on Friday March 19 the Quartet, Ban Ki Moon, Hillary Clinton, Catherine Ashton, and President Medvedev are meeting in Moscow, to discuss how to divide up the Middle East Oil after Iran has been taken care of, and Israel finally has a true partner for peace - the world. Either that or we all go up in smoke. It's one or the other. Do not ever underestimate President Obama - he comes from behind like Zenyatta.
