Well now, i suppose that explains the President elect’s position on Iraq to a tee, where one housing crony is wanted and the other cannot participate in any new scams lest he be jailed. Given that I doubt Hillary is going to become SoS, it would make more sense to annoint her as housing secretary just so the past ‘Oh’ wouldn’t have to face up to the present and future problems.

The arab peace plan in essence relies on the KSA to buy off, cough, ride herd, cough, enforce the peace. given the current set of players that is vaguely possible, given the current players likely successors it is not imaginable that such a peace can be translated to the Arab street without a solid commitment to Iraq and allegiance to a sovereign Lebanon.

There are plenty of housing needs in Lebanon and in Gaza, maybe the Chicago gang can move in there and share some of that democrat experience.
