Obama a Zionist?

Recently Barack Obama made fun of the image of Hillary Clinton as a new Annie Oakley. The idea of a staunchly pro-Israel Obama is hardly more plausible, and yet the Boston Globe reports today:

Senator Barack Obama yesterday criticized former president Jimmy Carter for meeting with leaders of the Islamic terrorist group Hamas as he tried to reassure Jewish voters that his candidacy is not a threat to them or to US support for Israel.

Something doesn't add up...

I finally get the Clinton camp's strategy, and it's NOT the Tonya Harding option. No, they're going for that nomination, all right. Nor are they trying to persuade any "undecided" superdelegates to endorse Clinton. No superdelegate could possibly be undecided at this point.

No, what the Clinton need is to give the SDs an EXCUSE to hand Hillary the nomination (which most of them want to do but fear the disarray such action will put the Democratic party in). And to provide this EXCUSE the Clintons are quite simply "going nuclear" on Obama. Make him "unelectable", no matter how. Bill Clinton prepared the public for what's coming by making a veiled announcement of this strategy when he said recently "I don't give a rip about all this name calling... Let's just saddle up and have an argument." And more importantly, this announcement is a signal to Hillary's surrogates to go all out: they have their campaign's blessing.

The recent Gallup poll showing that 28% of Hillary supporters would vote for McCain rather than voting for Obama is something to take seriously, but not too seriously. In particular, not so seriously that Obama is put under pressure to accept Hillary Clinton as the vice-presidential half of the ticket.

CNN just put out a "fact-check" on Hillary Clinton's pet illustrations of her formidable foreign policy chops: her absolutely decisive role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland, her irreplaceable contribution to the safety of Kosovar refugees, and her unforgettable stand-up performance for women's rights in China.

You can read it here:

http://www.cnn.com/...

But is our globe-trotting ace being TOO MODEST???

Why, she's omitting her stirring appeals to fellow Senate Democrats to give the go-ahead for, and thus proudly CO-OWN, what eventually became, in the words of retired U.S. Army General William Odom, "the worst strategic disaster in American History", the invasion of Iraq!

Even Senator Clinton's other momentous foreign policy achievements surely pale in historical significance to her foresight on the eve of the Iraq war!

Therefore, we should all make sure that, in the future, reviews of Senator Clinton's foreign policy experience don't fail to cover it!

The Raw Story is reporting that soon the NYT will publish a confirmation from the White House that Bush did authorize the "declassification" (aka leak) of intelligence on Iraq.

The excerpt includes this choice line:

The official declined to be named, because of an administration policy of not commenting on issues now in court.

So this official is providing this confirmation in direct violation of the administration's policy. If this isn't yet another leak, then what is it?

DK is probably not the best place to post this, but I don't know where else to go. The basic realization is this: it is easier for the average US vote to learn how bring about "regime change" in the country than bring about "regime change" in one of the national parties. Read More

DC DEMS are the BIGGEST UNREPORTED SCANDAL

The mainstream media has been rightfully excoriated for failing to adequately report on the lies and misdeeds of the current administration, but there's a bigger story that THEY HAVE IGNORED COMPLETELY, and for which they deserve FAR GREATER SCORN: the entirely reliable cooperation of DC Democrats with the Bush administration.

The latest demonstration of this, the craven response of DC Dems to Feingold's censure motion, was no longer necessary to convince even the hardest skeptics. DC Democrats have gone long past the point where they MUST prove to their constituents, beyond any doubt, that they are not working for the opposition. I was gratified to read that Molly Ivins thinks likewise. Read More

Count me in among those who are furious, livid in fact, over the Democrats' Alito debacle.

The responses I've seen fall in two general camps: 1) abandon the Democratic party; and 2) continue fighting the "good fight".

There's a third way: let's stay in the Democratic party but let's start seriously thinking about replacing the current batch of Capitol Hill Democrats (along with the entire Democratic leadership) with a better batch. We are the shareholders here. Let's fire management and get ourselves a new one. Read More

Contrary to many of my lefty friends, I don't have all that high an opinion of Fidel Castro. I think his pluses are more than compensated by his minuses. But one thing I have to grant the guy: no one does snark like he does. His recent exploit in this department was this. The US is currently denying the Cuban baseball team entry in the US for next year's World Baseball Classic, on the grounds that participation of the Cubans in this tournament may benefit Castro's government financially. Castro's response:

the Cuban Baseball Federation announced Thursday night that any money gained by the national team would be donated to Hurricane Katrina victims.

Ouch, baby! Very ouch!

Lately I find myself checking 6 sites reflexively. They are my daily must-read sources. Here they are:

Daily Kos (but ov coarse)

www.talkingpointsmemo.com

www.huffingtonpost.com

www.rawstory.com

www.antiwar.com (run by paleoconservatives/libertarians, but a good source of info)

news.google.com

Of course, when I have more time I check out other sources (e.g. www.tpmcafe.com), but the ones above are my must-have daily "fix".

What are yours?

P.S. The one source I avoid like the plague is nytimes.com.

America must see Greenwald's Uncovered NOW!

The administration is clearly worried about the growing tide of questioning of its "marketing" of the Iraq war. It is churning out disinformation and confusion as fast as it can.

Many in the media are trying to counter this barrage, but they forget that this debunking was already done in 2003, and masterfully, by director Robert Greenwald. The documentary is called Uncovered: the whole truth about the iraq war. Read More
