Today's Grovel

Other than the rape dear, how was  your date with Mr. Schicklgruber?

“ During his eight years in office, George W. Bush established new standards for the term ‘pro-Israel.’ He repeatedly affirmed Israel’s right to defend itself against terror, and praised its value as America’s primary Middle Eastern ally. He also expressed a deep ideological attachment to Israel as a democracy and, spiritually, to Israel as the biblical homeland.  Less publicly, the president also authorized an unprecedented level of cooperation between the U.S. military and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), including intelligence sharing, anti-terror training, and the joint development of missile defense systems.” Oren wrote at the time in the fall 2008 edition of the Journal of International Security Affairs.  - [Israeli scholar Michael Oren  in the fall 2008 edition of the Journal of International Security Affairs]. ”

“ I asked him whether Obama could be considered the best friend Israel has ever had in an American president? “I think Obama is the best friend in ways that are different sometimes than other best friends.” [Israel's ambassador to the United States Michael Oren, January 2011] Yes, I'm sensitive to Israel's plight, and yes I'm sensitive to diplomatic sine qua non, but puh-leeeze. How, one wonders, would  Oren answer the question, "Which U.S. president has been Israel's biggest backstabbing, Islamo  fascist ass-kissing enemy?"  Sheesh.
