Isn't that Spay-shill?
there’s a scene like this in The Godfather...
Regardless of the details of the flotilla incident, sources say President Obama is focused on what he sees as the longer term issue here: a successful Mideast peace process.
“The president has always said that it will be much easier for Israel to make peace if it feels secure,” a senior administration official tells ABC News.
The suggestion is that US condemnation of Israel would further isolate that country, and make further peace negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians even more difficult.
...Mr. Obama pushed the notion that last night – as the United Nations Security Council met to issue a statement about the incident – was the moment when the US had maximum leverage, that the longer the statement was being debated the worse it would ultimately be for Israel.
Ultimately, as the statement was negotiated over night, the US succeeded in making it more neutral where other nations wanted it to criticize and condemn Israel.
Now that’s a ChiTown “Win” for Teh iDaddy. It [somewhat] pacifies the US Israel supporters—after all it is a statement of “support”. or at least not condemnation, eh?
But it sets US up as the Only Friend of The Problem Child. Big ol’ Superpower defending it’s wayward Little Brother. [Like Jimmah and Billy] That’s the price of the “Friendship,” being identified as The Problem.
It’s one of the oldest games humans play: pick the bad guy. [” ‘Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.’ Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy." Alinsky 12]
Try it with 5 or 6 friends. Five of you get together and decide to pick on the 6th for some imagined “wrong.” Something that makes no sense to criticize, like defending himself against aggressors.
Pick the smartest, most stable guy to do this to, then everyone begin to chide him, getting more serious as ya go along. He’ll start to get agitated. Then one guy take his side and begin to “help” him to “correct” his ways. Even the most well-grounded will start to freak out a little. It’s crazy-making.
Pick a stable guy, but not a big guy; he will owe ya a punch in the snoot for this, afterward.
So tkx, iDaddy.
