Emanuel to rabbis: US "screwed up"

Officials deny administration changing view on Israeli nuclear policy.

The Obama Administration has "screwed up the messaging" about its support for Israel over the last 14 months, and it will take "more than one month to make up for 14 months," White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel said Thursday to a group of rabbis called together for a meeting in the White House. "During the elections there were doubts about President Obama’s support for Israel, and now they have resurfaced," Emanuel said, according to one of those who participated in the meeting. "But concerning policy, we have done everything that we can that is in Israel’s security and long range interests. Watch what the Administration does.”

Dennis Ross, who runs the Administration's Iran policy, allayed fears during the meeting that by calling for a nuclear free Middle East the US policy regarding Israel's nuclear capabilities was changing. Since 1995, Ross explained, the Administration's policy, supported by Israel, was to support a nuclear free Middle East in conjunction with comprehensive peace. Emanuel, according to a participant in the meeting, said “We understand Israel’s full layer of deterrence."

I pray he is being honest and that this is not just some ploy to get the Jewish vote onside for November.

There's not a doubt in my mind that he's fishing for votes in November.

I think so, too. Rahm Emanuel is a Jew hating Jew and you can't believe a word he says. These politicians will lie through their front teeth and stop at nothing for power. If you go back to the last election and take away the Jewish vote, Obama would not be president today. Recent articles have shown he has lost half their vote if not more and his monopoly in Congress is now threaten with the mid term elections. This is just a sick ploy to say whatever they think the Jewish voters want to hear and then he will be right back doing more of the same.

Yes, that is what I was afraid of. I pray the American Jews do not fall for it.

You wouldn't bet the family farm on that though, would you? The Husseinis are nothing if not calculating, and the mere fact that they are calling for a nuclear-free Middle East is aimed at Israel because Israel is the only country with nukes. Everyone knows that and a nuclear-free M.E. means an indefensible Israel. Emanuel is a conniving, radical leftist, self-hating Jew, and represents the admin well, as he is representative of their views.
