Samantha Powers, President Obama’s new nominee to represent America in the United Nations, in her own words:
1. We need to face “alienating a domestic constituency of [giggle] tremendous political and financial import” (0:52-0:59)
2. To foster peace, we should move billions of dollars from providing arms to and servicing Israel’s military and instead move those billions towards investing in “the new State of Palestine.” (1:06-1:14)
3. Although Israel is not quite engaged in Genocide, the reports of major human rights abuses there are stark. So America needs to place a huge American military force — a “mammoth protection force” — into the area.
4. Leaders like Ariel Sharon and Yasser Arafat are of the same exact mindset and caliber, so may be called “Sharafat.” (2:22)
Two minutes, 57 seconds. Her own words. Calm in an interview. She would be the next United States ambassador to the United Nations, in an Administration that has Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Defense.
Presumably Chuck Schumer, who gives political kosher-certification to political pork, will be her first stop for the Jewish seal of approval.
Here we go again
