Over There:

Over There:
These are popping in the middle east, despite effort to defuse them. Some people over there don't want peace, want ever the cost. And I think President Bush and company know it, but they, appearance in denial, or blinded to the truth, what ever the case may be. Personally, I think they are like a blind man searching for a nonexistent light switch in a room full of rats.

As the American Israel Public Affairs Committee met in Washington, U.S. President George Bush Wednesday suspended plans to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.
The White House released a memo to the secretary of state ordering a six-month suspension in preparations for moving the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv. The order also coincided with a visit to the Oval Office by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

The issue of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel has always been a sticking point in the Arab world and negotiations for establishing a Palestinian state have included demands the city be returned to Palestinian control.

Meanwhile, An Israeli daily says Cabinet Minister Shaul Mofaz has said Israel should attack Iran if it continues with its nuclear program.
The Yediot Ahronot newspaper quotes Mofaz as saying "If Iran will continue with its plan to develop nuclear weapons, we will attack it."

And Barac Obama has put his foot in his mouth again. Mere hours after becoming Israel's new ‘best friend’ Obama backtracks on status of Jerusalem. Apparently, his statements to the the AIPCAC conference that Jerusalem should not be divided were 'misunderstood' contradicted campaign policy.

Obama's adviser for the Middle East, former Ambassador to Israel Daniel Kurtzer, in May told the Israeli mass circulation daily, Haaretz, that his campaign considers it "impossible to make progress on serious peace talks without putting the future of Jerusalem on the table."
