…CAN be wrong:
Charles W. “Chas” Freeman, Jr., has been named head of the National Intelligence Council, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence announced this afternoon.
Martin (I love Obama) Perez is shocked shocked:
That Freeman would be chosen as the president’s gatekeeper to national intelligence is an absurdity. It would be as if I were appointed the gatekeeper to that intelligence.
And not only is the guy in the pocket of the Saudi’s but read this:
What the left is unable to do is defend Freeman’s views on China, where he unapologetically supports the bloody crackdown on democracy activists who dare protest in the streets of the capital, and Saudi Arabia, which as far as Freeman is concerned is something like Berkeley in the desert. The left spent years bemoaning the close ties between the Bush family and the Saudi royals — and it was a relationship that few on the right were eager to defend. Now the left can have their turn defending a man who is so closely tied to the Saudi Kingdom that in the weeks after 9/11 he wouldn’t even consider halting his business with the bin Laden family.
What did Perez say before the election?:
I have written here and elsewhere that Barack Obama’s views on Israel and the possibilties of peace between it and the Palestinians are both tough-minded and deeply comprehending. I don’t at all think that I’d be disappointed with an Obama presidency, and certainly not with his attitude towards the Jewish State.
And that was good enough for Andrew “clear eyed” Sullivan:
If Marty ain’t worried, ain’t nobody need to worry. Of course, Marty suffers from the same malady I do: clear-eyed understanding of what the Clintons actually are.
Hey I guess that 77% are leftist first and Jews second. Thou shall have no other Gods but liberalism. Glenn’s reader Patrick McNiff nails it:
It is kind of hard to get too exercised over his appointment as it relates to Israel in light of the following:
Barack Obama wins 77 percent of Jewish vote, exit polls show

As Obamas favorite pastor might say : “The chickens are coming home to roooost”
Elections have consequences…
I still maintain to many this is a feature not a bug and I think this is even worse.
BTW I accidentally hit publish instead of “blockquote” which is why an incomplete post went up.
UPDATE: Gateway pundit points out that Andrew might have had a point about Mrs. Clinton:
Jewish leaders are stunned that Hillary is hammering Israel over Gaza.
It remains to be seen if this is Clinton acting or if she: vas only following orders!
