Reply #113: Saban is working with Freedoms Watch to push the US into war with Iran [View All]

[leveymg]

Haim's working the Democratic side of the isle, while Sembler, Templeton, and the others have a lock on a big money 501(c)(4) group, Freedoms Watch", fueling "independent" GOP media buys. Consider this:

1) From Laura Rozen's column: "Sonnenmark believes that the group's strategists were probably not encouraged by the results of the focus group she took part in. "I got the general feeling that George Bush didn't have a shot in hell" of winning public support for an Iran attack. Some members of her group suggested that should Hillary Clinton be elected president she might have more domestic credibility to make such a controversial decision. "

2) This, of course , is what billionaire Haim Saban told Haaretz almost a year ago:

(Haaretz) Will she (Hillary) be good for Israel?

(Haim Saban)
"I think so. Look, President Bush is very one-sidedly pro-Israel. But look at the results of his policy. They were not beneficial for Israel. We are in a major mess. Look at the facts on the ground. Bush is a massive failure. Hillary will be more balanced than Bush. She will try to create credibility among the Arabs in order to mediate between them and us. We will get nowhere with them in direct negotiations. Only with billions, with pressure."

(Haaretz)
Will President Hillary Clinton be capable of making tough decisions on Iran?


(Saban)
"Her policy will be different. She believes, and I agree, that it's a mistake to conduct negotiations through the European envoys. As I told you about Hamas, we have to talk with everyone, including Ahmadinejad. Hillary Clinton intends to engage with Iran in order to try to find a political solution that will ensure a non-nuclear Iran."

(Haaretz)
And if she can't reach a political solution?

(Saban)
"I don't think she knows, and I certainly don't know, and even if I knew I wouldn't tell you, with all due respect."
