The Taming of the Joooooooooooo!
Would be an apt characterization of President Oblah-blah's much heralded, but otherwise banal, "Cairo II" speech today; you know, the one where he tells us, "you're welcome", for single-handedly delivering the "Arab Spring". Ah yes, it was a decidedly nuanced performance, one where he cast himself playing the role of PetruchiO!, and the Palestinians and other Arab states as the eminently desirable Bianca...
But, alas, Netanyahu quickly made it apparent that he was in no mood for Israel to play the part of Katherina:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu swiftly rejected President Obama's call Thursday for Israel to pull back to the borders that existed before the 1967 Six-Day War, calling those lines militarily "indefensible."
Obama, in a sweeping address tackling the uprisings in the Middle East and the stalled peace process, stunned Washington and Jerusalem by endorsing Palestinians' demand for their own state based on the pre-1967 borders. The break with longstanding U.S. policy appeared to immediately aggravate the Israelis, who want the borders of any future Palestinian state determined through negotiations.
In a statement released late Thursday, Netanyahu said such a withdrawal would jeopardize Israel's security and leave major West Bank settlements outside Israeli borders.
Oh, how I would like to be a fly on the wall during the meetings between Netanyahu and Gutsy McKickazz.
So, despite the AP's immediate attempt to spin this as much ado about nothing, and what will surely be the upcoming gushing and reassuring reaction by the Make-Believe-Media, it appears that, as Adam alluded to, Israelis, and by extension American Jews with family and friends there, are about to join a host of other Obama allies in that familiar places for those who suddenly became inconvenient...

At what point… I mean, really… will American Jews realize that they keep voting and supporting people who really don’t see the purpose of something as quaint as Israel? Not currently holding my breath. And this I say with the complete understanding that a Zionist is not necessarily a Jew. Nor a Jew necessarily a Zionist. But I am neither and don’t have a dog in this fight… and still can’t make any sense of their voting habits.

Perhaps we’ll be seeing a sudden sea-change in their dispositions; unless, of course, they convince themselves, and others, that Israel is somehow being unreasonable by insisting on being able to defend themselves.
As Darcy noted on twitter (paraphrase) Why should the Israelis consider “give backs-ies” when it was the Arabs who attacked them?
A good question.
It seems as though President Gutsy McKickazz is bent on exploiting the Arab spring that the left and MBM insist he “created” as well as bumping off ObL in order to pay off all of the Palestinian fetishists he’s been allied with over the years.

Respectively cast? Intersting choices. I seem to recall they had pretty good chemistry :)
Oh, and they were familiar with the story …

Respectively, yes, but now that you mention it, the casting probably wouldn’t work because of its unbelieveabilty.
Barry Obama isn’t half the man Liz Taylor was.
