This guy was the definition of a foreign agent, and fought for a decade to get the US to attack Iran for Israel's benefit. The only surprise is that the "special relationship" between the U.S. and Israel didn't prevent this case from becoming public.

His activities were probably part of this bigger effort:

FAB's latest:

"Our experience with 20th century nation based terrorists--...the F.L.N in Algeria...." Notice that Bobbitt considers one of the greatest national liberation movements of the twentieth century, that is still universally recognized and admired around the Third World for its courageous and heroic and costly effort to expel France from Algeria, as nothing more than a gang of terrorists. Shows you how much guttersnipe you can read in the Newspeak Times on "terrorism" and study about it at Columbia Law. It also shows the white racist Western colonial imperial bias against National Liberation Movements in the Third World. Only recently was Mandela taken off the U.S. Government's terrorist watch list where he had been placed by the Reagan/Bush administrations. And we spent the better part of the 1980s and early 1990s arguing and litigating that the ANC was not a terrorist organization against the Reagan/Bush administrations and their Neo-Con terrorists who were in bed with the criminal Afrikaner apartheid regime--"constructive engagement" with criminals makes you an aider and abettor. And despite Bobbitt's argument, the IRA was universally recognized and admired as the first National Liberation Movement of the twentieth century, throwing the mighty British Empire out of Ireland.

Just be carefull where and when you 'fist-bump'.... John Foster Dulles, Walt Rostow and Bill Casey might roll in their graves.

Why Obama is not in a position to force Israel to do things that oppose its vital interests (BTW-note the facts about the aid the US gives to Israel...civilian aid has ended and all the military aid money is spent in the US and creates American jobs)....

MJ: These comments of Rosen say it all:

"I don't think they are going to find the opportunities for Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking promising, much as they are ready to commit American resources to broker an agreement. They will learn, if they do not already know, that stepped-up American engagement is not a magic wand or the missing ingredient that will somehow transform the situation. Hamas' control of Gaza, its foothold in the West Bank, the radicalism of the "outside" Palestinians, the stockpiles of Kassams, the Iranian role - all this and more will still be there. Abu Mazen represents a minority of all Palestinians, and does not have the credibility to obligate the PLO to concessions that many Palestinians would depict as a sellout. The Obama Administration will pursue a peace process to strengthen Abu Mazen and to meet the minimum needs of regional allies like Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, as well as the Europeans. But this will reflect a strategy of conflict management rather than a naïve belief that the situation is ripe for conflict resolution. "

Translation: The longer Abbas and the rest of the appeasers have "negotiated" in good faith the less credible they are among their own people. And let's focus our energy on "conflict management," i.e., continuing the Occupation. No one has more precisely stated the neo-Con, Likud world view any better. Thank you, Mr. Rosen, you have show all your cards.
