OBSCENE IS THE FIRST WORD THAT COME TO MY MIND WHEN YOU HEAR ABOUT THE PROJECTED COSTS OF THE CLINTON WEDDING.
America does not have royalty,and of course everyone is entitled to spend their own money as they see fit.Nevertheless in a time of 10-14 per cent unemployment, a recession that is dragging on, our former Pres and our Sec. of State should have been able to show some restraint in their priorities.
Yes she is an only daughter,however compared to major movie stars and even Donald Trump's wedding, this is out of the ballpark.
FOR SHAME ON HILLARY AND BILL FOR POOR TASTE!
After I wrote last nites blog on the Arab League, they have apparently given permission to Abbas to enter direct negotiations. Now we will see what he does-he seems in no hurry.

THE VIEW / ABBAS / HR 1553 / GAY NACHAS / TREASON
How demeaning! and how desperate is the President to appear on the "View"?Yes his numbers among women like other groups are falling, but the dignity of his office should not be debased by such a move.Beyond which he missed the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts.Like his missing of the Memorial Say Arlington celebration-he has no interest in real Americana.
Hooray for the 45 Republican Congressman who filed HR 1553 that supports Israels right to attack the Iranian nuclear sites if necessary.This represents 1/3 of the Republican members,and I hope they can make it bipartisan.
No surprise that the Arab League turned down direct negotiations for the PA and Israel.Abbas is claiming Olmert promised him that 40-50,000 Arabs could "return" to Israel with a peace treaty and he wants 100,000.Hopefully Bibi's answer is you get-zero take them to your entity-not ours.Hopefully we will SOON see a resumption of settlement building.
Mazel Tov-Mazel Tov how lucky can the Jewish people be -to be able to celebrate a gay rights parade in Jerusalem.....WHAT NACHAS!
ONE THOUGHT ON THE LEAKER OF THE AFGHANISTAN-PAKISTAN MILITARY PAPERS-IF THEY FIND AND CONVICT HIM ( OR THEM) A FIRING SQUAD FOR TREASON IS THE ONLY ANSWER.

The War in Afghanistan
The leaked military papers on the war must be put into context.
1 Most of the material is not new.In fact the duplicity of the Pakistani security forces,the role of Iran and the corruption have been discussed ad nauseum.
2 You don't have to be a military expert to realize the war is going poorly.This is a primitive corrupt society with no feeling for democracy and the rule of law
3 Narcotics rule the day,and billions of both our money and narcotic money leave every week"legally" to Switzerland.
4. The artificial timetable of Obama cannot work for 3 reasons.
A the war is not going well
B Why should the locals sign up with us.if in 1-3 years we will be gone and the Taliban will take revenge.Look at Bret Stephens article yesterday in the WSJ. as to the results of withdrawal from Vietnam and Cambodia-genocide.
C The local could not take over in 1 year.
5 When Obama was campaigning he attacked Bush for being in Iraq, when we should have been in Afghanistan. Now it is his war, and as yesterdays House vote shows,his party in the Congress is not supporting him.He has no way out.
6 The real reason we cannot leave now, is because we cannot allow Pakistan to fall to the Taliban-Al Quida and get control of their nuclear weapons.
Thus we are there,and will be there for a long time-hopefully to some sort of ability to strengthen Pakistan to join our team 100%
