Ettinger: "The problem is that Barak does not understand the U.S. Congress. The present sad situation is a symptom of Barak's narrow understanding and non-strategic thinking, his arrogance in not listening to others, and his misunderstanding of what is going on in Washington. This is causing an unprecedented depression in our strategic alliance with the U.S. - there have been political problems between us before, but not regarding strategic issues... For a quarter of a billion dollars, or even $2 billion, Barak is willing to sacrifice our 52-year-old relationship with the U.S..." "What Congress cannot understand," said Ettinger, "is an Israeli Prime Minister who shows weakness regarding his own country's interests - in the Golan, Jerusalem, Jordan Valley, Judea and Samaria - but takes a strong stand against the U.S. in something that it regards as its security interests. For instance, former Prime Minister Shamir was very tough when it came to Judea and Samaria, and even if the Americans didn't agree, they understood him - but in the Persian Gulf War, Shamir figured that that was something he could give in on [and did not retaliate against Iraqi Scuds], as this was something that the Americans saw as vital to their own interests. Barak is now acting in the opposite manner: he is giving in on Israel's own vital interests, but is standing tough against what the U.S. sees as its important interests." ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Mike Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
