White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel denied reports that said he is
fed up with Israel and the Palestinians, a White House aide told
Haaretz on Wednesday.
The White House aide emphasized that Emanuel's statements were
distorted. "He expressed frustration with the lack of progress with
the peace process, but he certainly didn't threaten to walk away from
it. The allegations are completely ridiculous," the aide said.
Emanuel met with Jacob Dayan, consul general of Israel in Los Angeles,
about two weeks ago, after which Dayan briefed the Foreign Ministry.
According to reports, Emanuel told Dayan the U.S. is sick of the
Israelis, who adopt suitable ideas months too late, when they are no
longer effective.
The U.S. is also sick of the Palestinians who never miss an
opportunity to miss an opportunity, Emanuel reportedly said.
Emanuel added that if there is no progress in the peace process, the
Obama administration will reduce its involvement in the conflict,
because, as he reportedly said, the U.S. has other matters to deal
with.
The White House reports that Dayan later claimed that Emanuel's views
were distorted. Dayan stressed that during his visit to Los Angeles,
Emanuel reiterated his unflagging commitment to Israel's security and
his devotion to the search for Israeli-Palestinian peace.
Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren also wished to
reiterate Israel's complete confidence in Emanuel's leadership and his
friendship with the State of Israel.
Emanuel reportedly also said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
publicly acknowledged the two-state solution too late, and that the
freeze on settlement construction in the West Bank came only after
months of U.S. pressure.
The report added that both sides reportedly rejected the peace plan
proposed by former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, but that if there is
progress in peace talks, Obama might visit Israel and the region.

C'mon... You don't see any resemblence there? Look at them both side
to side... Granted I used an old pic of
Rahm and a new pic of Bashir... but I see the resemblence....
On a similar note, I watched the other day "drain the ocean"
http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/episode/drain-the-ocean-3639/Overview
and the narrator was none other than Avery Brooks... He does have one
of those cool
voices that you could listen to for a long time... It was a good
program.. I also learned he
comes from a long line of musicians...

I preferred him before. Trials and Tribble-ations was after, though,
and I liked him in that.
