Clinton and G...America has yet to make a statement. Clinton and Gates predictably stayed silent on Sunday and neither the White House or State Department mentioned Israel or Palestine in their Monday briefings. I agree, negotiations have rapidly lost the last of their meaning. In the event of total breakdown we favor unilateral statehood over a one-state solution.<br /><br />Conversely US policy in Sudan says a lot towards Palestine and Afghanistan. While State Department spokesman Philip Crowley didn't mention the word Israel, he had plenty of time to defend Omar al-Bashir.<br /><br /><br />"QUESTION: Is it the U.S. position that the current difficulties we’ve seen in the run-up to the election are more of a logistical challenge and that, as you keep on repeating, they haven’t done this in a while --<br /><br />MR. CROWLEY: Yeah.<br /><br />QUESTION: -- or more a product of the Khartoum Government actually rigging the system?<br /><br />MR. CROWLEY: The – well, the – rigging is a loaded term. I mean, there certainly have been challenges in preparing for the election. There’s certainly more that the Government of Sudan could have done and should have done to create an appropriate environment for the election. And – but beyond that, the people of – we think the people of Sudan want to see this election take place.<br /><br />That’s one of the reasons why we have supported this election as part of the Comprehensive."<br /><br />While the White House has given another pass on Israel, it also became the only leg of an accused war criminal-dictatorship. We're expecting more backwards foreign policy as Obama and crew grow more desperate.James Gundunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16141055666432969361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571201204115952544.post-48524718408332002202010-04-10T19:04:50.074-07:002010-04-10T19:04:50.074-07:00I just read the Haaretz link.

Th...I just read the Haaretz link. THIS IS AMAZING. <br />They are provoking and pushing for a show down. <br />It seems to me that Obama and the U.S. have been given orders by Israel to back off. They are giving themselves the green light. The Palestinians can not wait any longer for the U.S. to negotiate anything. The exact opposite is now, and has always been. The U.S. AND Israel are one.Tao Dao Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16229628652152584292noreply@blogger.com
