******************************
Amanpour: holy crap now Mitch Daniels won’t
run for President - will this nightmare of GOP non-candidates never end??
Audience: so sad
Amanpour: Obama set off a firestorm of criticism
by saying peace should be based on Israel borders before 1967
Huckabee: Obama proved he hates America
because he betrayed Israel
Amanpour: Bibi demanded that Obama
endorse the settlements
Amanpour: Israelis suspect Obama may be
more loyal to America than to their country
Audience: ooh
Amanpour: but Obama bashed efforts
to delegitimize Israel
Audience: wow he’s pissing everyone off
Amanpour: George Mitchell does Obama
want to destroy Israel?
Mitchell: no he wants Israel to swap control
of land for security - hell Ehud Olmert endorsed the same plan
Amanpour: then why did Bibi freak out
and smash the White House china
Mitchell: because Palestinians want the
UN to recognize their statehood
Amanpour: can there ever be peace between
the Palestinians and Israel?
Mitchell: hell no - that’s why I quit
Amanpour: Obama wants the settlements stopped and the Arab states to be nice to Israel
Mitchell: Obama wants both sides to give a little and neither side wants to so nothing will ever get done
Amanpour: you’re so much fun to have on
Amanpour: Did the White House know his opponents would act like he wants to destroy Israel?
Tapper: the President is used to people saying he hates America and now they think he hates Israel too
Miller: Bibi took Obama’s speech to mean
he wants Israel to commit suicide
Amanpour: Bibi and Obama don’t
like each other
Tapper: he lecutured the President in front of everyone in the Oval Office - bin Laden and Trump crossed Obama and look what happened to them
Miller: Bibi is very confident that
the peace process is dead
Amanpour: even American friends of
Israel think Bibi is acting like an asshole
Tapper: Bibi is worried that Obama
gave up a key Israel negotiating position
Miller: Israel is worried Obama might
actually make a real peace proposal
Miller: the Arab world is blossoming in democracy -
now is just not the right time to propose peace
Tapper: Hamas is a terror organization
and a key player

Abdullah: he’s a colossal dick
Amanpour: will there be another war
in the Middle East ?
Abdullah: probably - we have one
every 18 months

can’t have negotiations

a position and bloody well stick to it!

Abdullah: once a week I meet with the
unwashed masses in the river Jordan

destabilize my government

it’s destroying Jordan!
