Now, that’s some lip work! Good thing the reporter on hand knows better.
Question: Do you believe that this pouting by the Palestinian team, from time to time, that they say we want to resign, we don’t want to go on with these negotiations, there is a problem – does it hurt the process? … Because from time to time, we hear the chief negotiator come out and say these talks are not going anywhere and I’m going to submit my resignation. I mean, this has become like a bad soap opera.
Harf gave him the party line in response, but it didn’t matter. It’s obvious that the reporters in the house know the talks are going nowhere, the two sides are basically repeating their initial positions ad nauseum, until in the end the U.S. will come in and give Israel an ultimatum. That’s the script, and everybody knows it. The question is not whether or not it’s going there, the question is can the Democratic party stop Obama before he does so much damage to the U.S. relationship with Israel they would lose not just Florida, but New York, California and Illinois, too.
