Obama's quote from today's meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu is the death knoll for the Palestinian State.
"The Palestinians are going to have to do a better job of providing the security Israel needs to accept a two-state solution," Obama said. "The other Arab states have to be more supportive and be bolder in seeking potential normalization with Israel," adding that "I will deliver that message to" Mubarak and Abbas next week. http://digg.com/u13b7j
Thinking that the leopard is suddenly going to change his spots, and that other Arab States are going to follow suit is monumental naiveté. This lack of judgment, wisdom, and experience, particularly in foreign policy, must simply mock the office of United States President in the eyes of Israel's Prime Minister.
In an embarrassingly condescending statement Obama expressed confidence in Netanyahu's "political skills as well as his historic vision." The experience of Netanyahu casts a giant shadow over Obama's 'Johnny-come-lately' spot in the world political limelight.
This thinking will have the Arab states laughing through their teeth at America's lack of political savvy in foreign policy matters. Years of diplomacy have been sacrificed to "Change We Can Believe In." The Arabs are happy at the developments, and like the Israeli statesman Abba Eban said, "The Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity." Now, knowing that the USA has backed up to square-one, they will forge ahead full speed with their self-defeating agenda.
Good show Obama. You have just chiseled in stone (a tombstone) the epitaph of the Palestinian State.
