Appease Gaza Terrorist, They Will Go Away

Good news: U.S. to pledge $900 million to rebuild Gaza

"Wasn’t one of the left’s chief criticisms of Israel’s Gaza operation that there was no Plan B if Hamas disintegrated? Fatah couldn’t ride in as the white knight on the backs of Israeli tanks to restore order or else they’d be seen as stooges and collaborators, we were told, not unreasonably."

Ace Of Spades

"Clinton's proposing this, hoping to use the money as a catspaw to increase Fatah's popularity and get them back in charge, rather than Hamas.

Um... I see what she's doing here but 1) it won't work and 2) it's not worth it."

American Taxpayers Lavishly Reward Palestinians for Terrorist Rocket Attacks

"No wonder Palestinians won't stop firing rockets at Israeli population centers until they evoke a response. We are in effect paying them hundreds of $millions for doing it."

Appeasement is as Appeasement does? At 800Mil Good deal. We didn't give up anything we really need and have plenty of.. OH

Obama Dropping Sanctions on Iran, That's Going to Work

Gateway Pundit Is the source on this one. All the other reports seem to be coming from the same place.

"from the February 18, 2009 edition of Geostrategy Direct (subscribers only):

But "Change" is taking place, Barak has intimated, originating not in the Mideast but in Washington, D.C. in the form of a U.S. reconciliation with Iran.

Such a process could result in U.S. acceptance of Teheran's nuclear weapons program and the downplaying of its threats against Israel.

Just as Barack Obama entered office facing a massive economic crisis beyond the scope of his experience, likewise the new Israeli leader will have to make or delay making difficult strategic decisions from the minute he or she enters office.

Barak has already signaled what the new government can expect, officials here said.

The United States has abandoned its policy of sanctioning companies that aid Iran's nuclear and missile program, they said.

The officials said the new Obama administration of has decided to end sanctions against Iranian government agencies or companies that aid Teheran's missile and nuclear program. The officials said Israel has been informed of the new U.S. policy."(cont.)

"Similarly, Obama has decided on a new U.S. ambassador to Syria and is expected to lift sanctions against a nation charged with aiding Al Qaida in Iraq and secretly building a nuclear reactor with North Korean assistance.
Diplomatic sources said Obama, in consultation with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, has asked Frederic Hof to become the first U.S. ambassador to Damascus since 2005. The sources said Hof, a member of the National Advisory Committee of the Middle East Policy Council, agreed to take the post.

The sources said the Obama administration was expected to suspend U.S. sanctions on Syria's military and energy programs.

They said Hof would be authorized to facilitate an expansion of U.S. relations with Syria, which deteriorated under President George Bush."(cont.)

"The sources said Obama sent emissaries to Syria in September 2008 and pledged that if elected he would reconcile with the regime of President Bashar Assad. After his election victory, they said, Obama sent another message that promised to appoint an ambassador within the first weeks of his administration."

It looks like pretty straight forward appeasement. I don't know quit what to say. 3yrs 48wks to go? He is not just week on foreign policy he is insane. May be he is doing it just to threaten to reinstate them? Many of us knew Obama was a massive mistake. Nukes all over the middle East. Great!? that will work. The next President( if there is one) has going to have no room to do anything constructive.

Senators Reach Deal on $780 Billion Stimulus Bill

Mary Landrieu (D-LA) Thinks they will pick up support? And says there is a 2T hole in the economy we have to plug?

How about the 53t off budget hole for SS? How about the ? for off budget Iraq, Fanny & Fredie and some other bail out money? You can't plug the hole indefinitely. You can't just keep spending. Heal the hole. leverage some of this money. don't just keep spending.

Can the Repub. stop bitching about bipartisan crap and the pork. that is the least of the problems.

Make the tax cut argument stop just saying its better explain. Pull out the regulatory nonsense. DO NOt argue The freakin Pork. Mention it every time you talk but stop harping on it.

When will the welfare food stamp ect. addons stop? Why was the McCain sunset stopped.

The blocking of religion in buildings if any money is spent from this plan. If your going to say its been in bills for 40 yrs? Show me one. Get it in to the public.

the heath care board? Get it in to the public.

The Illegal immigrant loop hole (#5) I have not even tried to read through the "bill". I have not seen an argument that even comes close to explaining any of this. STop talking about the pork!

Obama's spending is stimulus last night. It sounds as if he told the Reid to GET this done. He is not playing" hacky sack and waxing sophomoric philosophy that he doesn't understand because he has not lived long enough." He may be a closet dictator waxing sophomoric Philosophy.

Senator Graham on the floor tonight said he didn't know if we could recover from this. he back peddled a little. GRAHAM said it. Hanety and Beck have been saying it for a while. I don't want to believe it. I never wanted to but I am there now. Look back at the rise of other socialist countries. Once we are there it is hard if and impossible if they take the guns. Beck is leaning now to a communist style government. Some one Please find a flaw in his overall logic on the matter. please

HAve we all read 1984? Or better Animal Farm they are not meant to be history books. They where a warning that is lost. There where signs. There where any number of post just on this little blog around the election.

Appeasement of States vs. Terrorists

Deepak Chopra. The first I knew much of him was an interview with Glen Beck. Some what interesting but a little new agey for me. I almost gave up on saying anything on the matter but Bill O'Reilly has Deepak Chopra on tonight so.

Basically Chopra blames the attacks in India on US policies and actions. You expect some one to say it. US policies do have bad side effects but not that. It is one of those ideas I just can't get my head around. I see the logic but it is just to much of a stretch.The "hate America" comments started, fine, what else is new. There is the back and forth and over the top analysis, Hannity has him on, that goes well, then Chopra fires back from the Huffington Post? He writes for the Huffington Post, D o n e. I like when people make it easy for me to ignore them. Another wonderful political extreme on extreme attack. A complete waste of every one's time. Someone should really do something about all this extreme on extreme verbal abuse.

For the record allowing any of these groups to fester in any back water is not an option. They are after a world wide Muslim State, not tomorrow but it is on the table down the road. Any thing of interest in any of this? One comment caught my ear. I think it was a Chopra comment but I was at that moment paralyzed trying to decide if I should hurry and catch the brain cell leaving my head or dive for the remote to stop the loss. Who it was is irrelevant to the point. Someone applied the appeasement to the terrorists. Appeasement is a kind of slow walk pacifism. Arguments can be made for pacifism but not so much appeasement in general.

The terminology is usually reserved for nation states. Just the idea of it being applied to terrorists jumps what might under some sort of extreme circumstance might be reluctantly acceptable. It usually starts with allowing a military build up, a pay off of resources or allowing territory to be annexed. Not of that is possible. We go directly to the actions that make the initial appeasement so dangerous. Surrender of whole states, changing of internal laws or policies and direct weakening of national security(ie. Cuban missiles). So what exactly are we talking about when we are appeasing terrorists?
