#1 Bambi's name is already taken for Zaptero. Use Obambi

Another Clintonista. I thought one of the good things about Bambi coming into office was that his wing of the party was going to get rid of all the Clinton types ...

Clintonista is a minor evil compared to an Ayerista.

#5 Are any of these clowns cognizant that Syrian and Egyptian interests are in opposition to each other? Egypt's the foremost non-oil-producing member of the Sunni group of Arab states, and Syria's the (very!) junior partner in the Shia axis. Egypt sponsors Fatah, Syria sponsors Hamas, and both sides seem more interesting in sparring with each other and playing influence games in Lebanon than opposing their nominal Israeli enemy.

#6 May 10, 2008...

One of Barack Obama’s Middle East policy advisers disclosed yesterday that he had held meetings with the militant Palestinian group Hamas – prompting the likely Democratic nominee to sever all links with him.

Robert Malley told The Times that he had been in regular contact with Hamas, which controls Gaza and is listed by the US State Department as a terrorist organisation. Such talks, he stressed, were related to his work for a conflict resolution think-tank and had no connection with his position on Mr Obama’s Middle East advisory council. “I’ve never hidden the fact that in my job with the International Crisis Group I meet all kinds of people,” he added.

Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for Mr Obama, responded swiftly: “Rob Malley has, like hundreds of other experts, provided informal advice to the campaign in the past. He has no formal role in the campaign and he will not play any role in the future.” The rapid departure of Mr Malley followed 48 hours of heated clashes between John McCain, the Republican nominee-elect, and Mr Obama over Middle East policy.


Welcome back to the fold, Bobby. We hardly missed ya...

#7 How much money are we going to give Egypt this year? If it is more than five bucks, we should keep it for our own needs.
