Analysts see ‘disaster’ in U.S. position

The authors of a hotly debated study on the influence of the pro-Israel lobby in Washington said yesterday that the Bush administration’s unquestioning support for Israel’s military action in Lebanon confirms their thesis that the power of the lobby hurts both U.S. and Israeli national interests.

This is just wrong! If the administration had given “unquestioning support for Israel’s military action” the Hezbos would have been completely turned into greasballs under the treads of Israel’s Merkava tanks.

Well might one wonder what the perspective of these guys is. Fortunately, it becomes clear further into the report:

Mr. Mearsheimer and co-author Stephen M. Walt, an international affairs scholar and academic dean at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, showed no signs of backing away from their analysis of the U.S.-Israel lobby at a National Press Club briefing. The event was sponsored by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the country’s largest Muslim civil rights group. (Emphasis added.)

OK. These analysts are apparently the best ones that CAIR’s money can buy. That makes them trustworthy about as far as the Chief can throw a camel (without any mechanical assistance!). In spite of the article’s identification of CAIR as a “Muslim civil rights group” they have consistantly been apologists for radical Islam.

So what else would you expect these so-called “analysts” to conclude! Can you say s-e-d-i-t-i-o-n?
