Report: Obama advisors want NATO troops in West Bank
 | This is a Paleo news agency so salt is required. But if true it's going to be a real problem. No way in hell do I want US troops patrolling the West Bank. Let the French do it. |
Bethlehem - Ma'an/Agencies - US President-elect Barack Obama is considering a deployment of NATO forces to the West Bank as part of a plan for resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict, an American newsmagazine reported on Wednesday.
Former US-national security advisors Brent Scowcroft and Zbigniew Brzezinski reportedly endorsed the strategy in recent days. Meanwhile, Obama's nominee to head the National Security Council, Gen. James Jones, apparently favors the idea, all according to Newsweek, a weekly American newsmagazine.
| Scowcroft and Brzezinski are out of touch hacks who are happy to crush the little people under their feet while playing the 'Big Game'. Zbig, especially, has long been willing to canoodle with bloodthirsty thugs. No thanks. |
"A principle that appeared to be out of bounds I think is now in bounds," said Tony Blair, the Middle East envoy from the International Quartet countries.
Israel has long argued that the country cannot deal with Palestine until the Palestinian Authority (PA) manages to control militants. And Palestinians complain that they cannot conciously ask militias to disarm so long as Israel continues to occupy the West Bank and East Jerusalem. But a NATO force, Obama's advisors argue, would bridge the impasse on both sides.
"But then it's not clear how NATO could prevent the Israelis from taking matters into their own hands," according to the Newsweek report, if Palestinian fighters began "picking off" NATO soldiers.
What about OUR response if Paleo hard boyz start potting our soldiers? What would world opinion be if we flatten the house of a Paleo gunnie? Or whack him and his best friends? Or conduct raids to find some mid-level Dogmush?
And suppose we grab a Paleo for good cause -- where do we put him? In an Israeli prison? Gitmo?
How soon would the MSM, aided and abetted by the hard left, start to describe our soldiers in the West Bank as oppressors and occupiers?
And what would we say to the spouse/children/parents of an American soldier gunned down by a Paleo hard boy while on patrol in Bethlehem?
We'll see how smart and realistic Bambi is on this issue: if he goes along with this he's an idiot and a one-term president for sure. |
"And should all-out fighting resume--this is, remember, one of the world's most intractable conflicts--NATO could be drawn into the middle," the article goes on to say.
