Seriously, We Think That Secretary Rice Screwed Up This Summit Thing

We like to think of ourselves as right of center, but we understand that many people don’t share that interpretation. We get that. And so we also get that we don’t exactly come off as neutral with our flood the zone, near-constant mockery of Secretary Rice’s land for fake peace promises campaign.

But now there are people with actual jobs and careers that are just openly mocking the Secretary of State. When people like Rick Richman…

Where did that “notion” come from — the notion that the “destination” was to be talked about in Phase III, not before the parties performed their obligations in Phases I and II? Perhaps it was the “Road Map” itself — which is actually a short title for “A Performance Based Roadmap to a Permanent Two-State Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.” Indeed, it could not have been clearer than the very first page of the “performance-based” plan:… The Secretary of State has “broken through” the idea that progress depends on compliance with Phase I, or that non-compliance will “impede progress.” That was just a “notion.”

… and the One Jerusalem guys…

Hamas has either pulled the wool over the eyes of Secretary of State Condi Rice or she is truly clueless. As we have reported the current tensions in Jerusalem are the result of Hamas and other Muslim extremists creating a storm over an archaeological project that does not endanger any Muslim holy-sites in Jerusalem. The tactic of making false charges against the State of Israel over activities in Jerusalem has been employed by Arafat, The Grand Mufti, and Hamas.

… are openly mocking an honored US Cabinet member – well, you have to ask yourself whether there’s something to the idea that Abbas has neither the desire nor the authority to strike a peace deal with Israel.
