What happened to James Baker

I do Not think anything has changed with regards to James Baker and Israel. His hero was the British Foreign secretary under Clement Attlee by the name of Baldwin, who was in fact an anti semite, and tried to scuttle the Jewish state from coming into being. And gave tacit help to the Arabs by way of allowing arms to be supplied to them prior to the rebirth of the nation of Israel. Baker called Baldwin a realist.

And so Baker is just doing what his hero would have done. Condoleeza Rice, Negroponte and Nicolas Burns going along with this does not surprise me in the least. The attitude of the state department has been one of open hostility to Israel for a long time. and Negroponte has proven himself in the past to be pro Arab. Thus the continued lie coming from state that Islam is after all a peaceful religion, actions to contrary. And the continued selling of Abbas as a moderate. I thought it very telling by the way that the Vatican has not come out and totally condemned the So-called truth conference on the holocaust as Baker has not either and have not heard anything from state on this, and also from the so-called moderate Muslims!
