Obama Selects Woman Who Wanted US To Invade Israel Samantha Power, As New UN Ambassador
To Replace Susan Rice as Ambassador to the United Nations,
President Obama chose Samatha Power, a woman who once said that the US should send in its military to Israel to enforce a Mid East peace.
How long do you think it will be before Power uses that board as tool to de-legitimize Israel?
Power was a foreign policy adviser to the Obama campaign in 2008 when she
blamed the Jews for the criticism of then Candidate Obama's foreign policy platform.
"There will be situations where the priority is self-defence," she says, indicating that a preference for multilateralism only goes so far. "President Obama, like every other leader on earth, is still going to be looking out for national and economic interests. States don't cease to be states overnight just because they get a great visionary as their new president." But it is politically impossible for Obama to talk to Hamas, even if he wants to. She can't say that, though, especially when vicious internet smears are making lurid allegations about his "Muslim past"...."So much of it is about: 'Is he going to be good for the Jews?'"
