Appeasement Date

By John Batchelor on July 31, 2009 at 9:00 AM in Current Affairs

Script.   
George Mitchell’s mission to Damascus is part of the script by the White House Politburo to construct an appeasement to Tehran.

The plan was put in place after POTUS visit to Riyadh in June. The next step is to offer the criminal Assad regime in Damascus a return of the U.S. ambassador.

The White House plan is advanced. The confusion is how to negotiate with Tehran after the usurper Ahmadinejad regime stands as discredited.  Tehran source from the Diaspora reports that the usurper Ahmadinejad is consolidating the security forces.  

Unconfirmed report that the head of the Ministry of Information and Security (the secret police) has been replaced by the head of the Basiji, the para military brownshirts.  The Tehran regime is brittle, turbulent, perilous, unrepentant, adamant, sinister.  

Jerusalem Watches. 
Major Jerusalem source points to irregular activities in Bekaa by a now re-armed Hizballah, which operates freely while the UN supervised watchdogs look the other way.

The concern is that Tehran needs to relieve the twinned pressures of the resistance in the streets and the UN sanctions. A blantant and effective diversion would be Hizballah rocketing of northern Israel. Nothing in Gaza has been rebuilt since the conflict December and January.

However Hamas is fully re-armed with short and long range rockets. Jerusalem source points to continuing maneuvers by the IDF and IAAF and the Israeli Navy. Preparations for several scenarios continue.

    BULL! Appeasement of Tehran? Batchelor is really full of it on this one.

    It’s in the ‘U.S.’s best interests’ to normalize relations with Syria! Who cares what Israel (and their AIPAC/WINEP crowd in D.C.) thinks or wants, their ‘whims’ should play no relevance – period!

    It’s in the ‘U.S.’s best interests’ to cool the burning embers of both Hizbollah and Hamas. Who cares what Israel (and their AIPAC/WINEP crowd in D.C.) thinks or wants, their ‘whims’ should play no relevance – period! If Israel is sooo worried regarding any possible Hamas pea-shooter, Israel can ‘counter-battery’ any pea-shooter threat that may be inbound!

    Batchelor is really spinning the talking points for Israel on this one.

      lets see: Syria tries to build a nuclear weapons plant with north korean help…..Israel destroys said weapons plant. Hillary sits in silence, and Obama rewards them with an Ambassador. And somehow its Israel’s fault? What planet are you from J? start the impeachment

        Show me the ‘proof’ that Syria tried to build a nuclear weapons plant with N. Korea assistance. There was no ‘proof’ at the site destroyed by Israel except a bunch of broken up cement. All the ‘allegations’ of nuclear weapons garbage originated in Tel Aviv with Bush-Cheney nodding their little doggie heads to placate Tel Aviv. The Israeli strike on the Syrian cement bags was just like their strike on Iraq’s Osrik, a boondoggle as after the invasion of Iraq, the Osrik area turned up ‘negative’ contamination that would have existed had Osrik been what the Israeli’s ‘alleged’.

        Like then, so today most of Israel’s ‘intel’ turns out to be empty boondoggles, just like their ‘kooking’ the intel on Iraqi WMDs that were not there.

          I guess that germany, france, great britian, Italy, and even jordan’s intelligence agency’s confirmation about syria’s nuclear weapons plant was false as well?.. what an uninformed person you are……I suppose you deny the holocaust as well….right J?

          • mark connette

            I forgot to mention saudia arabia. They had positive intel on syria’s nuke weapons plant as well….and I guess its just by luck that the syrian installation looked exactly like the one in North Korea. Amazing coincidence huh? sorry J….. Next?

          • J

            ‘Confirmation’? Yea, right. And the holocaust denial garbage you spout is a Non-Sequitur. I care about the U.S. and what is in our U.S. interests — ONLY! As for the Israeli government, it has proven itself to be backstabbing liars on more than one occasion. I take Israeli intel with a grain of salt.

            Israel’s problems with Syria and others in the Mideast has been created by Israel’s own hand, and has nothing to do with U.S. interests. Israel is not an ally to our U.S., by its own actions, it is an enemy far more devious than Syria ever thought about being.

            Sounds like you have never been to/lived in the Mideast at large.

    So, all b.s. aside… are we actually trying to elicit a first strike response from Israel? do we want them to feel they have no choice but to do this, and at the same time… do we want to appear to be shocked and dismayed when they actually do it? Or are we looking at some kind of an impending “coke and a smile” tour from our main man in Washington?

    The web page for the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem mentions the $200m the U.S. is giving to the Palestinian Authority; a movie theater subsidized by the Consulate to provide entertainment for Palestinian children from Gaza and the West Bank, who are disadvantaged and displaced; and a commemorative gathering to celebrate the first State Department grant to the Palestinian Association for Cultural Exchange. But there is not one mention of Israel. Go to Atlas Shrugs to connect to the Consulate web page, as well as the U.S. State Department to register your views.

    Wonder how dearest leader will handle this? Or if it really happened at all? Show time?

      His friend Rahm it said when a crisis occurs, create another crisis to distract from the first crisis. (paraphrased.)

      Everything that comes out of Chicago Land is suspect.
