Obama is about to mandate a new peace plan
Despite recent turbulence in U.S. relations with Israel,President Obama is "seriously considering"proposing an American peace plan to resolve the Palestinian conflict,according to two top administration officials.
"Everyone knows the basic outlines of a peace deal,"said one of the senior officials,citing the agreement that was nearly reached at Camp David in 2000 and in subsequent negotiations. He said that an American plan,if launched,would build upon past progress on such issues as borders,the "right of return"for Palestinian refugees and the status of Jerusalem. The second senior official said that "90 percent of the map would look the same"as what has been agreed in previous bargaining.
The American peace plan would be linked with the issue of confronting Iran,which is Israel’s top priority,explained the second senior official. He described the issues as two halves of a single strategic problem:"We want to get the debate away from settlements and East Jerusalem and take it to a 30,000-feet level that can involve Jordan,Syria and other countries in the region,"as well as the Israelis and Palestinians.
"Incrementalism hasn’t worked,"continued the second official,explaining that the United States cannot allow the Palestinian problem to keep festering —providing fodder for Iran and other extremists. "As a global power with global responsibilities,we have to do something."He said the plan would "take on the absolute requirements of Israeli security and the requirements of Palestinian sovereignty in a way that makes sense."

Quite frankly….I don't trust anything this president does. He's proven again and again that his only interest is his best interest and not anyone else's.
Your right Scott. ME,MYSELF AND "I",especially "I". If this ends up to be a seven year treaty,that would send flags up.
IMPEACH OBAMA IN 2010 http://www.impeachobamacampaign.com/
In my humble opinion we have an unethical,immoral and outright criminal administration currently in place. As an illegitimate body I for one will not obey anything they attempt to introduce or enact. They have failed to prove there eligibility to hold governmental offices and therefore are not,in my eyes,a legally recognized and authorized body with the authority to govern the United States. I must go on record with the current administration —- I will not abide by anything this administration puts in place,they may do whatever they will,with me or to me,but I refuse to recognize them as the legitimate government of the United States. If they attempt to impose anything not stated in the original Constitution and the Bill of Rights on my life I will oppose them in every way possible with every means at my disposal. If they continue in the manner in which they are currently conducting themselves and attempt to infringe upon my rights or if they attempt to punish me in any way for standing firm in my beliefs I will,sadly and with much regret,leave the United States and seek residency in another country.
In my humble opinion,your posts are a broken record. It's a good post,but getting old.
