(President Clinton) promised a 'kosher kitchen' in the White House when he first ran for the Presidency. He delivered far more -- the most Israeli-oriented Administration in American history with strongly pro-Israeli| Zionist Jews at nearly every doorway watching and directing every move.
From the head of the National Security Council, to the corridors of power at the State Department, CIA, and the Pentagon, (in addition to the White House of course) the Clinton Administration is kosher indeed.
Never before in American history has there been a President who has practically turned U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East over to another country and its legion of powerful, wealthy, and yes, dually-loyal -- supporters.
The latest addition to the crowd is a very talented writer, Sid Blumenthal, now being brought into the White House to write speeches and closely advise the Clintons. He too is a long-time very staunch Israel-supporter who recently received a community service award from the American Jewish Congress -- one of the most rabid of the anti-Arab Jewish groups now masquerading as a supporter of the 'peace process' after years of bashing Arafat and Palestinian nationalism.
It's all but forgotten now, but when Clinton first announced for the Presidency the head of the Israeli/Jewish lobby -- the President of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) -- was forced to resign right in the middle of the campaign. His offense? He was overheard and recorded bragging to a potential donor that his organization had placed a dozen operatives in Clinton's Little Rock campaign headquarters and when Clinton became President he would be their man and do everything Israel wanted done.
Indeed, that's exactly what has happened -- it was the truth, and it has come to pass...he had to resign simply because it wasn't supposed to get out.
All this of course explains why the Clinton Administration always casts its U.N veto on Israel's behalf, always looks the other way when the 'dual loyalty' realities are occasionally exposed, has a former Israeli army captain in the White House at the President's side, and is about to appoint a former Israeli lobby official to be Assistant Secretary of State for the Middle East -- someone who wasn't even an American citizen when Bill Clinton was elected!
It's a tremendous scandal of course But shamefully no one in the 'establishment' press is willing touch to -- and many in that same press are in fact members of the same Israel-oriented club.

Thought for the Day:
"The most notorious use of Jewish campaign money is not to support candidates who have been friendly, but to oppose those who have been unfriendly."
