I think you are spot on Magnum and it is after all what I expected from the start. I think even under a McCain Administration there would have been some horse trading with Bibi, perhaps some minor concessions to Pali's and a commitment to a new round of regional negatiations in return for appropriate hardware. Not that I favor any concessions to those maniacs, I don't, but it illstrates how far we've detatched from Israel under this horrid Regime. Israel, as always, will do what it must to survive. The words "never again" never stray far from their hearts and minds, nor should it. It upsets me greatly that my nation is so alien to this recognition at present. I stand with Israel and in opposition to the official policies of the US government as currently constituted. May God watch over Israel and her people in these trying times!
