Jumping Jehosaphat...

Not only did Edwards do all of that, he also said Israel should be made a member of NATO.

I really got to say my estimation of the guy went down about 300 points right now.

Oh dear.  This is bad.  I've been pushing for Edwards since 2004.  I dislike Hillary and I've been none too pleased with Obama.  I've always thought of Edwards as a populist and fairly weak on International politics, but I never would have thought he would actively support the Aparteid regime in Israel at the cost of the people of Palestine.  sigh.  Now I don't have anyone to support in the Democratic primaries.

This worries me too. I've been on the Edwards bandwagon BIG time and knew I wasn't real happy with his position on the ME situation, but this goes even farther than that. It makes me question my support.

But...it seems to me that to not support anyone in the primaries means default support for Hillary. That's a situation I can't tolerate because she not only brings in the ME questions, but she does so with all of her allegiance to the corporatists and her disdain of the netroots (ie democracy).

So, what to do??? For right now I'd love a better understanding of what and why Edwards has this position. I wonder who he's listening to or who he is beholden to. Anyone have ideas?

"When we asked [General Wesley Clark] what made him so
sure the Bush administration was headed in this
direction [bombing Iran], he replied: 'You just have
to read what's in the Israeli press. The Jewish
community is divided but there is so much pressure
being channeled from the New York money people to the
office seekers.' "

Yep!

Clark is against anything that will lead to the bombing of Iran.

He thinks it would be an even bigger blunder than the invasion of Iraq.

Not quite.  He only thinks of it as a last option, it seems.

No one should be mistaken:  there is a military option.  We can strike hard enough to set back Iran's nuclear quest by many years, and take out much of their military capacity in the process. And we can at the same time protect most of the oil flow from Iran and deny their capacity to block transit through the Straits of Hormuz.  But we also must recognize the possible consequences of this action: an embittered, vengeful Iran, seeking further destabilization of the region. Far better to pursue dialogue now, whatever the precedents, and save the military option for truly last resort.
