Yesterday I slammed Obama for being so indecisive that even the French were fed up with him.  Well it turns out we\’re not just annoying to the French, we ARE the French.

The Palestinian leadership accused the US of caving in over Israeli settlements after Hillary Clinton, the Secretary of State, praised Israel for making concessions.

Having failed to force Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, to meet US demands for a total settlement freeze, Mrs Clinton switched tack during a one-day visit to Jerusalem when she called on both sides to resume peace talks.

“What the Prime Minister has offered in specifics of a restraint on the policy of settlements . . . is unprecedented,” Mrs Clinton said.

She did not give details of the concessions but even under the Oslo peace talks in the 1990s Israel never halted the expansion of settlements. The first serious reversal came in 2005 when Ariel Sharon forced thousands to leave the Gaza Strip.

We demanded Israel stopped expanding it\’s settlements.  They told us to buzz off.  We backed up without ANY concessions. So we\’re not only retreating from our enemies now, we\’re also retreating from our allies???  Surrendering to everyone that gives us a stern look?  We\’ve become the French.

At this pace it really is only a matter of time before the USS New York is sunk by the Rainbow Warrior isn\’t it?
