Ah yes, .... Mr. Obama, the Muslim world applauds you!

Once more unto the breach: George Mitchell arrives in Israel for yet another round of Obama diktats for Israel and little or nothing demanded of the Palestinians. (Say, read the speech, it takes on an entirely new meaning when you apply it to Obama’s tactics on Netanyahu.)
The “Israel first” strategy rises again: What did I tell you?
Israel must make a series of “goodwill” gestures aimed at—getting the Palestinians to sit in another room somewhere (as long as there are no Israelis in it) while Americans shuttle back and forth trying to get them to agree with something. So basically, the sum total of Obama’s middle east policy has brought us back to the 1980s. By the way, Netanyahu has removed hundreds of checkpoints in the West Bank as a “goodwill gesture,” and yet, the Palestinians refuse to sit down and talk with the Israelis. But it is Israel’s intransigence that must be stopped. Carter II in so many ways!
Scuds? Scuds? We don’t see no stinking Scuds! Oh, right. Israeli intelligence agencies, which are the agencies that caught Syria building a nuclear weapons plants and also the agencies that helped plan the destruction of said plant, are wrong about the Scud missiles, according to unnamed US officials in this Reuters report.
Can you say “Spin for Obama”?
I knew you could. And of course, the Obama administration will continue to reach out to Syria—even though Walid Jumblatt now openly states his master’s decree: That Lebanon is part of the Syrian-Iranian axis. And yes, that is the exact phrase he used. Syria is now in complete control of Lebanon again, and the Obama administration turns a blind eye to this as it attempts to “reach out” to Syria. Smart power!

WASHINGTON – Special US envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell arrived in Israel Thursday for a series of talks with high-ranking Israeli officials. Washington officials said that the American administration believes Israel and the Palestinians truly want to resume negotiations, which was the reason for Mitchell's visit.
The US envoy will meet President Shimon Peres, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Friday, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday, in Ramallah.
In his daily press briefing, State Department Spokesman Philip Crowley refused to comment on recent tensions between Jerusalem and Washington regarding construction in east Jerusalem.
