Condi Rice Stabs Israel in the Back

I'd better burn my Condi '08 bumper sticker:

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is on the brink of handing President Bush the worst diplomatic disaster of his presidency. She is poised to agree to two United Nations resolutions that will tie the hands of both Israel and the United States in the war on terror and, in particular, inhibit future action on its number one state sponsor — Iran.

The catastrophe is the brainchild of Secretary General Kofi Annan, who has effectively turned the United Nations into the political wing of Hezbollah. Rice and Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Nicholas Burns are working furiously to satisfy a timetable dictated by Annan, not by the interests of the United States.

How did the United Nations become the forum for producing peace between Israel and its neighbors, which have rejected the Jewish state’s existence for the past six decades? In the last three weeks, a multi-headed hydra of U.N. actors has risen to defeat Israel on the political battlefield in an unprecedented disregard of the U.N. Charter’s central tenet: the right of self-defense.

This is complete idiocy.

I am now beginning to question whether this Administration has what it takes to win the War on Terror. We've got the U.S. Army as sitting ducks for Iranian and Syrian troops in Iraq while we intend to stop Israel from taking the war to the Syrians who pull the strings in Lebanon.

You have GOT to be kidding me.

This war will not end until Hezbollah is destroyed, Bashir Assad is dead or imprisoned, and the mullahs have been deposed. We don't need to go to war with the Muslim world, just Syria and Iran. Those are the centers of gravity in the War on Terror. Without them, international terrorism has no state sponsorship.

This looks an awful lot to me like Bush has decided we're just going to have to live with the occasional terrorist attack.

Just like the Israelis.
