#2 "tapping into the Clinton fundraising network it should be possible to generate a substantial ... amount quickly enough to capture the public imagination"

And if funding runs a bit short, nods could be extended the numerous long-time enemies of Israel. More money would no doubt soon fill the coffers of the Canadian based Foundation.

Clever bastids, no ?

#4 Drone zapping is costly. John Brennan's 'regime change' budget is a bit low at the moment. Contracting tasks such as this out to surrogates at Foggy Bottom has worked in the past. Who knew there would be a flurry of e-mails released linking responsible parties ?

Anyone for a few quiet hands of contract Benghazi ?

#6 The tragic voyage of Pickering from the young, dynamic, honorable Foreign Service Officer of the nineteen eighties to the discredited political hack and anti-Semite of today.

#7 "A former top US diplomat suggested Washington foment Arab Spring-style Paleostinian protests as a method of pushing the Israeli leadership into making moves"

Interesting it doesn't occur to them to try to foment Arab Spring-style protests to remove the Paleo leadership. In every other case the Arab Spring-style protests removed a dictatorship but these yahoos want to support one.

Who is this former top US diplomat?

#8 "On the Palestinian side the male culture is to use force,” Pickering wrote. “Palestinian men will not for long patiently demonstrate — they will be inclined over time and much too soon to be frustrated and use force. Their male culture comes close to requiring it.”

He nails the problem right there and yet doesn't seem to really figure it out at the same time. Fascinating.
