Here is the joke of the day… US envoy to strengthen Abbas

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3662282,00.html

WASHINGTON – The United States' new envoy to the Middle East, George Mitchell, will be working to secure a lasting ceasefire in Gaza, as part of an attempt to bolster Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority. He does not intend to meet with Hamas representatives.

The US perceives itself as being in a race with Hamas and, by extension, Iran, in the rehabilitation of Gaza. Mitchell's entourage – state department employees responsible for humanitarian aid and rehabilitation efforts, rather than politicians specializing in negotiations – suggests that delivering assistance to Gaza will be the focus of his current visit.

Gee, isn't that what Bush and Condi tried to do??

Oh well, what do I know, this is "change" and "hope" as per Obama standards!

    President Obama is wholly-owned and operated by the Jews of the Federal Reserve, Wall Street, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Trilateral Commission. It is very unlikely that there will be real "hope" and "change" for anyone as a result of his policies, either for Americans, Palestinians, or anyone else. it will be amusing to see the U.S. trying in vain to bolster Abbas and the PA in Palestine now that they have both been completely discredited. What a farce!
