#1 Maybe I'm a little obtuse, but are you 100% sure that The One is going to veto?

I think that he understands that his chances of getting a second term are rapidly diminishing.

What does he have to lose?

#2 I'd be willing to wager he's putting together his "Presidential Pardon's" list at this very moment. A nice little parting gesture I'm sure he and Michelle will gloat over for years to come.

#3 One can only hope that after he cleans out the CIA, General Petraeus is promoted to Secretary of State to clean out their Augean stables.

General Petraeus might actually agree with Mr Grenier to a significant degree.

#4 Prediction:

Petreaus will find Qo'noS unmanageable and the Klingon culture repugnant. He will resign or accept another position within 18 months.

#6 Interesting read. But that is how it is supposed to work: the president represents the opinion of the people. And this is also a false comparison. Pakistani F-16'd vs. the existence of Israel? FEH.

#8 If Barack does not Veto, he should make it clear that if the Pals go for their own state all funding from the USA ends. Perhaps to Egypt as well if it looks like Egypt might be able to influence the Pals.

He should also put together an arms sale for Israel. Defensive stuff. The sale contingent on the UN vote or no-vote. Perhaps include a defense agreement suggesting the US will do whatever it takes to ensure the existance of Israel. Again, assuming the Pals become a state.

Then when the vote comes up, the US should not veto (a veto is gonna hurt us internationally), but instead follow what we said regarding supporting Israel.

#9 Grenier sounds like a typical pro-arab/palestinan anti-jew shill.

Justifications for the patently unjustifiable

Note this visceral emotion about the idea of trying to sanction the Pakis. He might just as well have said that he loved the idea of them having nukes; or that the US had no recourse but to give into them.

He understands the Israeli-Palestinian issue backwards and forwards.
WTF?? Obama doesn't understand ANYTHING backwards and forwards other than his own wet-dreams.
Everything about this article is Jews bad; Paleos (and Pakis) good.

Pfui.

#11 Had that same odd thought the other day GC8754, we'd get a surprise speech. Seems at the moment he gave the standard catch phrase plaid, variation 4.

#12 Grenier probably served in several Muslim countries and is now a "Stockholm Syndrome" posterboy
