Even simpler solution. Israel keeps East Jerusalem, and the most populated portions of the West Bank, along with the Golan Heights. The allow the Pals to have the remainder of the West Bank for their to be formed country. If they don't like it, tough. Thats whats on the table. Thats the only thing thats going to be on the table. Any attempts to get more land out of Israel is simply a non starter. No point in even suggesting or bringing it up.

lol, no it needs a waffling, incompetent instead right? Politicians are the ones who created the mess we have now. Would be nice to have a man who actually knows how to fix problems going into the White House. But then, 98% of the country would make a better President then our current one, and having someone who actually knows how the world works, as opposed to a man who has never worked a real job in his life would be a huge step up.

Insisting on the 67 borders, and a right of return, is idiotic. You might as well insist that the US return Arizona to Mexico, or that Japan renounce any claim to Okinawa. That is essentially what they are demanding of Israel. Bringing this up, shows you have absolutely no interest in negotiating. As I said on the other threat, the Pals an Obama might as well demand that every male Jew commit suicide and all the females act as prostitutes for them. It would be as likely to happen.

The Pals could demand that every male Jew commit suicide, and that every female jew serve as their personal prostitute. And why not, those things are as likely to happen as Israel giving us East Jerusalem. In other words, its not, and never will happen. Even bringing it up, or the so called right of return shows you are not even interested in a serious discussion.
To bring things closer to home. It would be like demanding that Okinawa be returned to its original owners and Japan giving up all claim to it. This is simply not going to happen.

East Jerusalem has not, and never will be on the table. Any idea that includes any part of Jerusalem in a future Pal state, is a non starter. Not only that, but much of the West Bank is in a similar situation, with hundreds of thousands of Israelis living there. The Pals can say it as often as they like, it will not change the reality, that they will never have a state so long as they insist on including land that will never be given to them.
Obama should consider, if you treat your friends like enemies, and your enemies like friends, pretty soon, you wind up friendless and alone.

So basically what Obama is saying is, that Israel should turn over the land it captured, and annexed, in exchange for nothing more then Obamas personal guarantee that the US will make sure Israel is safe. Considering that by even bringing this up, Obama reneged on US promises, makes you wonder, why should anyone take the word of Obama? Indeed, why should Israel give up the land in the first place? What do they get out of it? Ephemeral promises of peace from groups whose sworn reason for existence is its annihilation?
Let me put it another way. Would you do business with someone who threatened you, and demanded large sums of money and large tracts of land, in exchange for their personal promise not to threaten you anymore?

Love it Yabits. Great names.
Back on topic here, Newt just cut his own throat today. Coming out in favor of Obamacare. Something a majority of Americans oppose, and a whopping 85% of Republicans are against. I didn't consider him a serious candidate before, but with this, he's not viable at all.

If you define 'most people' as the 3 people in your office, forced to work with you, who have grown tired of arguing with you about the subject, then perhaps you are correct. If however you define it the way the rest of us do, as the majority of people, particularly in the US, then let me say, that Truthers make up probably no more then 5% of the country.
In point of fact, I don't claim that. I say that is despicable, as is this moronic and baseless assertion that GWB only got in because of his daddies money. Both are contemptible accusations and neither has a shred of evidence backing them up.
We have strayed quite far now from Gingrich's presidential ambitions, so I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you any further on this subject. Frankly, I'm one of the 3 people in your office, who has grown tired of arguing with you about it. At some point, you realize, that you are arguing with a nut, and the nut is never going to see or understand reason or rational thought. Therefore theres simply no point in arguing any further. The moment you brought up the idiotic truther idea, was when I reached that point.
lol. knuckle-draggin Slag Brothers. I love it.

Sorry, Israel is to blame for a bunch of people from Syria deliberately crossing the border, and attacking their people? How what you are describing a 2 way street? If Israeli citizens crossed the border into Syria, in similar fashion, would Syria be to blame?
Refugees that are treated how by the countries in which they reside? Lets be clear about this Sabi. Whats the greater crime. Not permitting them to return to lands their ancestors abandoned, or treating them like trash, and permitting them next to no rights now, in the land they now live?
Wasn't just Jews attacking and running people off their land. The pals living there left rather then fight both sides, then found the new government had no intention of allowing them to return and continue the conflict. These people that are referred to as Palestinian no longer have any claim to the land. Indeed it would be more accurate to call them Lebanese, Syrian, and Jordanian, since those in fact are the countries in which they reside. They are different from those in Gaza and the West Bank who stayed.

To be fair about this, Obama didn't really have any 'principles' about the environment. He was moving to expand oil drilling before the disaster in the gulf, then in a massive over-reaction, essentially banned all drilling, and refused to allow any new permits to be issues, ignoring court orders to the contrary. Now, several years later, his policies leading him to disaster, he once again reverses course. Proving himself a slick politician, and at the same time a poor leader, lacking in principles.
And you think the way to stem the damage, is to ramp up prices, and force everyone into alternate transportation schemes? That failed in Spain horribly. In point of fact, alternative energy costs more, hence the reason why oil is still so crucial to the economy. Let me tell you, in highly urban areas, rail lines make sense. In a country as big as the US, they simply don't.
I don't think anyone is upset at the idea or thought of reducing US dependence on oil. However things are not that simple. Wind is not an economically viable choice without massive subsidies to prop it up. In addition, it requires a standard energy source on standby to carry the load. If it was cheaper, if it was economical, if you could produce the same amount of energy per kilowatt hour for the same price, I'd choose something else myself. This isn't the case however, even in Germany. Green energy is merely a feel-good approach to delude you into thinking you are somehow helping the environment by using less oil. There are tradeoffs for that approach, and thus far, the green energy approach cannot sustain itself without massive government intervention in the free market, to force the playing field to be level.

Ah, so you're pulling out the idea that GWB couldn't have gotten into the Ivy league school without his daddies money? Could you explain to me, how that is any less despicable then my saying BHO couldn't have gotten in except he is black? Your vile and contemptible assertions aside, both men went to, and graduated from these schools. This is not something you can achieve by leaning solely on daddies money, or depending on racial preferences. That you even pull out the idea says a great deal about you, and your own level of intelligence.
Your hate blinds you to the truth. I don't particularly like GWB. I don't think he was a good President at all. He betrayed the conservatives who elected him. In fact, he fits the mold of a conservative Dem perfectly. However, the fact that I thought he made a lot of mistakes during his presidency doesn't blind me to who he is, and what he achieved. One thing I admired him for, was his leadership ability, even if I didn't like where he was leading. He was a decisive, strong leader, something that Obama is not. He didn't waffle around, or dither, once he decided something, he followed through. And he has class. He has very deliberately not commented on anything Obama has said or done. Despite the enormous amount of criticism and blame heaped on him by the present administration. This is the way former Presidents always behave. Once their terms are up, they stand aside, and let the new President take the lead. Excepting only Carter, and Clinton during the final 2 years under Bush when his wife was kicking off her campaign, very nearly all the previous presidents have followed this Precedent.
The reason he did not attend, despite being invited, was simply, its Obamas time, not his.

I didn't forget the oil/gas industry. The tax breaks they get are the same as just about every single other industry gets. They don't really get any special incentives. Wait, I take that back, they do get a small one. If they produce more, they make more money. Contrast this with the ethanol, solar, and windfarm industries which garner billions of dollars a year in direct and indirect subsidies from all levels of government. You want a level playing field? Taking away what the oil industry has, would mean penalizing it directly, not leveling the playing field. In addition, penalizing the oil industry would mean additional costs passed directly onto the consumer, again raising prices. This would amount to an indirect tax, and while that might make some in the government happy, it would hammer an already damaged economy even further.
Wow, you really don't have a clue do you. Guess you just heard the Dems blathering about ending subsidies for the oil industry, without actually doing any research about it. I don't know how it is in your country, but in the US, there really aren't any significant subsidies or tax breaks for the oil industry.
Tell that to Spain, its still trying to recover from its own idiotic foray into green energy.

He doesn't have diplomatic immunity. Being head of the IMF doesn't confer any special diplomatic privileges. In point of fact, this is likely to cost the French as this was their guy.
