[Fumesucker]

I'm not even going to quote any of this article, it has to read in its full cretinous glory to be appreciated.

4. Obama and Bush's Goals for Palestinain are the excat same.

They both want a state for the Palestinians and solution for the I/P conflict, they went about it completely different ways though. This is all really contingent on if bush would actually take orders, which I doubt.

[Winterblues]

25. What way did Bush* go about it?

All I recall is his Administration completely ignoring the suituation there for more than six years. :shrug: The ONLY thing the Bush* Cabal stood for was War Profiteering

6. And there's a reason why this is a web exclusive. They wouldn't

dare put this in a hardcopy. Obviously he thinks idiot son would be easier to negotiate with than Obama. Good luck with that pipe dream, Mr. Levey.


And a bit of info on Gregory Levey...

10. This guy is a true neocon wacko....

on the Faculty of Ryerson University of Toronto.

It seems he knows Newsweek publishes, according to him, "discredited articles" yet here he is submitting to them, the irony is quite delicious:

Incitement against the West, particularly the United States, continues to saturate the state-run media. While in China, for example, I watched a program that used the DISCREDITED NEWSWEEK ARTICLE about abuses of the Koran at Guantanamo as a jumping-off point for a panel discussion.

(The capitalization of the words "discredited Newsweek article" are mine to highlight it.

13. Those dumbfucks at Newsweak are insane n/t

[spanone]

15. yea, and cheney can be middle east energy envoy.....again

[madamesilverspurs]

16. On the other hand,

once W is sent out of the country on some task, maybe he'd 'accidentally' get picked up and taken to the Hague. Maybe it's a secret plot to see justice served SOMEPLACE.

[armyowalgreens]

20. Holy fuck. Worst idea ever.

21. Newseek is trying to steal some of FOX's "glory".

[karynnj]

23. ummmm Obama has the respected George Mitchell as his Midest envoy

There are few people respected on both sides as Mitchell is.

Why would anyone want someone who did not want to use diplomacy for 7 out of 8 years of his Presidency as an envoy to any place.

24. This is the same rag that had Paula Jones as its cover girl.
