		<description>Above, it should have said &quot;Condi Rice threw Kadish under the bus.&quot;  It&#039;s an American expression.

And, believe it or not, there&#039;s COORDINATION, now, between Assad and Olmert.  Why?

Think back.  To what happened in the desert, in syria, in September 2007.

That&#039;s the only way to look at news, anyway.  Otherwise?  Rueter&#039;s would win.  And, they&#039;re not even close.

Plus?  Well, the New York Times is collapsing, financially.  It&#039;s just a big balloon losing its &quot;loft.&quot;

That&#039;s why people really stay tuned.  So, &quot;wait for the3 book.&quot;

Or in Kadish&#039;s case WAIT FOR THE MOVIE!  A lot of stars are old enough to play the spy king.   Meanwhile, I love the news!  It makes me laugh!</description>

		<description>Poor Olmert.  He does what he does to BENEFIT Israel!  But the entire right wing of the country lacks understanding.  They think what he says amounts to &quot;big things.  When the reality is different.  Before Arik Sharon?  Well, then.  There was media hatred across the board.  And, a good chance that Israel would be excluded as a trading partner with the Europeans.

Arik Sharon was a loveable guy.  People began respecting Israel more; in spite of the tirades let loose by journalists.

Now you can believe &quot;Bush is a friend of the Jews,&quot; if you want to believe.  But he&#039;s also empowered Condi Rice.  And, James Baker lives in the current White House.

One thing IS known!  The arabs can&#039;t really face down the IDF.  So James Baker thinks it&#039;s a good idea to always ask the Israeli prime minister (be it Sharon, or, now, Olmert).  To use the IDF for American goal posts.  

In the summer of 2006 this involved directing Olmert to go into Damasacus to behead Assad.  Keep in mind that Israel has kept Assad alive, actually.

And, all Israel did?  Was something, in September of 2007, where &quot;something being built by North Korea,&quot; that still escapes the notice of the international crowd; went &quot;boom&quot; in the night.

While, of course, Condi Rice through the 84 year old, Kadish, overboard.  To embarass Israel IN THE PRESS!

While the American Congress ruts around, asking for the secret details of September 2007.

Assad?  He&#039;s also helping right now.  Because there&#039;s no way syria will agree to a cease fire.  Let alone, stopping its friendship with Iran.  But that&#039;s the hook.  IF THERE WAS PEACE WOULD IT MATTER?  Syrians would be welcome up on the Golan.  And, so, too, would Jews.

Meanwhile, Beriut, a 3 hour&#039;s drive away; is still closed off to Israeli traffic.

You have to wonder why?  WHY?

Olmert&#039;s just playing diplomacy.  And, he does it well.  Believe me, you don&#039;t need the hatred the press could really deliver.  Of course, right now they&#039;re busy with China.  And, FREE WILLY.  FREE TEBET.</description>

		<description>Assad is in a very awkward position.  The Iraqi war has been a disaster for America.  It has however done one unintentional positive thing.  It has pitted Sunnis against Shiites in a trans Arab (and Persian) civil war.   Assad finds himself in the peculiar position of being allied with the Shiites.
I think he would love to do a realignment.  However, his war against Israel makes this impossible.  
In some ways this might be a good time for negotiations with Syria.
Having said that, I have absolutely no faith in the Olmert government&#039;s ability to drive any kind of a bargain. 
From the Golan Heights, Syria used to bombard Israeli farms and kibbutzim on a daily basis.  A small section of the territory actually comes right up to the shores of the Kineret. 
Negotiations with Syria are far to critical to leave in the hands of someone as inept as Olmert.

		<description>The golan heights that said syrians were using as high ground from which to shell israeli towns and cities before we took it from them.

How stupid is this guy going to get? Whats the point in having peace with Syria? what are the chances they will attack Israel? Pretty slim I would wager.
If it&#039;s to stop them from hanging out with Iran and hezbollah, they&#039;ll go behind our backs and do it anyway. it&#039;s a no win situation.</description>

		<description>This is a really interesting post.I&#039;m personally a little skeptical about the idea of giving back the Golan, from a security perspective.  When you have a moment I&#039;d like to invite you to visit a new online Jewish publication at: www.newvilnareview.com

We&#039;re always looking for submissions, so if you or someone you know might like to submit something, we&#039;d be happy to hear from you.</description>
