Israel-Palestine-Jordan |
Now We Know the Truth Behind U.S. 'Peace Process' Policy |
2013-07-31 |
by Barry Rubin At last, we have an explanation for what has been going on with Israel-Palestinian talks. It is credible, yet ridiculous. And it is very important. Here is today's New York Times: In recent weeks, Mr. Kerry and his aides have outlined several basic arguments for why his efforts might bear fruit. Perhaps the most important one, which Mr. Kerry advanced almost the moment he was picked for the State Department post, is that the United States does not have the luxury of staying on the sidelines. Now, what is this saying? ...I presume that talks would fail, and after this explanation of what Kerry is doing, I feel even more strongly that this will happen. That's why the Israeli government has accepted this bad deal, believing, I think accurately, that the PA will make the talks fail. I understand why this option was taken -- also, because there might be American or European threats and promises; nobody can be as bad as Obama in the future -- but this tactic is getting tired. |

#2 The jerk WILL go away. John Kerry is essentially a staring non entity with no real pretensions of being anything actively relevant. He fills a chair for his Boss who actually IS a chair. When John Kerry disappears and the first crisis that rattles the windows will dispose of him because he actually is useless...no one will miss his existence. He never was there in the first place. His Boss is a Mouth and John is a Suit. |

#1 The strategy behind the Peace Process, TW is that whenever a new banned Russian term appointed US Sec State, the banned Russian term tries his/hers luck---a kind of DC Rodeo. We release a few terrorists, Arabs celebrate by committing some new terror acts. Eventually there is some real crisis, and the jerk goes away. |
