http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.10407/pub_detail.asp With a vote at the UN this week on Palestinian statehood it is appropriate to ask if the United States will save Israel or will Israel save the United States.

Security Council for recognition of the independence of Palestine is the independence of Palestine, stop reading here. Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas) is the last of the secular, revolutionary senior Arafat cronies imported from Tunisia — a Soviet-educated octogenarian in a post-Soviet world. Israelis sometimes […]
http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/print/277700 Obama Hits Bottom… Pres. Barack Obama promised to have a plan to pay for his massive new stimulus bill by Monday.
