#1 I suspect that Israel provides its fair share of intelligance information. Emasculating the CIA and turning off Israel at the same time is stupid.

#4 Basing your foreign policy on the advice of a Harvard professor - oh yeah, that'll work.

#5 Same advice Samantha Power gave him before he allegedly threw her under the 'bus', only she also advocated giving 50B to the Palestinians.

#6 Frank, as you know, both the U.S. and Israel are loaded with post-modernist, post-Zionist lefties who still believe in peace with the Arabs but even they are not prepared to risk another Jewish Holocaust.

Regardless, when the Jews say never again, they mean it. Israel will act based on her own intelligence data long before Obama realizes that his kinder, gentler approach to tyrants is a loser.

#9 If the Big O administration is stupid enough to implement this leftist agenda, there will be serious repercussions to this country. Israel will do what it needs to do to ensure its security, with or without the US. If aid, military and intel contacts are cut off with the US, the Israelis will develop further trade and military relationships with India, Russia, and China that will work to their benefit, both economically and securitywise. This will include sales of military equipment, systems hardware and software that the Chicoms and Russia would love to have, and that the Israelis got from the US, but are presently constrained by their relationship with the US from sharing. Talk about shooting your foot off to pay dues to your leftist handlers.

#10 What a hell of a week for Obama and his liberal base:

- Anyone who pays taxes, voices opposition to more taxes is a teabagger.

- Labels veterans right wing extemists.

- Says he is going to prosecute Bush officials.

- Releases information that damages the CIA.

- Plans to release pictures "showing troops pointing guns at terrorists", etc., etc..

#11 This arrogant SOB's gonna get us all killed. He'll be smirking when his co-religionists nuke Tel Aviv, but guess what Barack-0? DC is next on their list.

#13 *crickets*, Frank? You say that, knowing who posts here? You are capable of considerably better analysis than that, my dear. I've watched you over the years, and I know.

Now the first question we must address before discussing the presence or absence of crickets is, who is aware of Professor Walt's recommendations. I am accustomed to reading the news here at Rantburg before seeing it in the popular press, like the rest of the Rantburgers and quite unlike the rest of the country. I plan on forwarding this article to a few friends and my Congresscritters, as no doubt will some here. We'll see what happens -- President Obama tends to respond to the loudest of his customer base at any given moment, and he does things differently when he knows those whose votes he want are watching.

#14 TW - you are an exception, and one that I doubt voted for our Teleprompter Jesus. I know there are a few more like you. My question is for the overall American Juice population, who vote Democrat. I know that if the O'dministration proposed rules leading to the death and destruction of Vatican City, I might have something to say (and do) about it

#15 All of us here are exceptions, Frank. As I said, I'm going to start this trickling into the Jewish community, as will no doubt others here. My Congressional Representative is John Boehner, who may still lead the House branch of the Republican party. If someone could forward this to Rush Limbaugh or someone appropriate at Fox News, life could get very interesting, indeed.
