Former secretary of state may run as
Mitt Romney’s number two.

| Yet another lost cause for Israel. |
The latest Washington buzz could throw a wrench in that line of attack on Obama's policy towards Israel — if, as some Washington insiders are suggesting and the Drudge Report is reporting, Mitt Romney chooses Condoleezza Rice as his running mate. That’s because as secretary of state during the George W. Bush administration, Rice was a strong backer of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, whom she described as a true partner for peace. She pushed hard for Palestinian elections, which in 2006 resulted in a victory for Hamas (in a 2008 essay in Foreign Policy magazine she held firm to the notion that elections were the right way to go despite the outcome). She described the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as vital to solving the Iran problem, and she was the administration’s point person for pursuing Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, forging close ties with Israeli leaders who favored negotiating with the Palestinians. In 2007 at the summit meeting in Annapolis, Md., she reportedly told a closed-door meeting of Israeli and Arab envoys that her childhood experience with segregation in the South helped her understand the Palestinian experience.(JTA)
Q: Does anyone in Washington have any bloody clue as to who the so called peace partners are that Israel should negotiate with? ALL of them, Fatah and|Hamas have the SAME agenda Ricey: the destruction of the State of Israel! As to her take on Iran: "Israel-Palestinian conflict as vital to solving the Iran problem." Well...intelligent woman that she supposedly is...Jez! Even the Islam loving Obama is way ahead on points on this one.
If this is still the level of her understanding and analysis of the Middle East, impound her friggin' passport; and should Romney choose the former Mag Dog of Libya's hottie, then the Jewish vote come November, may just as well say at home.(Photo: Copyright Control)
