A Very Good and Long Analysis Suggested by propalestinian visitor and fatima; Thank You Both.

"Chances for a change in the direction of US Middle East policy are extremely unlikely. The reason is the growing power of the Jewish Lobby in Congress, the massive Zionist propaganda campaign in all the mass media, Olmert’s ‘nose leading’ of Bush, and a host of related activities. The end result is that Congress will not withdraw or reduce US troops and war funding for the Iraq War. Bush, with the support of McCain and Clinton, Liebermann, Reid and Hoyer, will push for more troops in pursuit of an all-out blood bath in Baghdad. The Baker Iraq Study Group under siege from the Zioncons and Zionlibs will be unable to deal with Israeli violence against Palestinians or enter into a dialogue with Syria and Iran on any but the most narrow and unpromising terms."

Guess who is now lobbying for Israel's viewpoint with the U.S. Administration? Did you say AIPAC? No, this is yesterday's news and everyone knows that. Today's Israel's lobbyists, in addition to AIPAC, are none other than Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait and the rest of the Gulf States! I kid you not! These "Arab" states have been urging the Bush team not to listen to James Baker and not give a role to Syria and Iran in trying to resolve the Iraq mess. They are even against the U.S. having a dialogue with Syria or Iran. This happens to be Israel's preferred position which is being vigorously promoted in the U.S. by AIPAC. Lo and behold, the major Arab regimes and Israel are indeed allies!
