'Strategic dialogue' partner. I like the sound of this: Israel FM to run 'strategic dialogue' with US: sources
Israel's ultra-nationalist [oooooh!] Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman will be put in charge of "strategic dialogue" with the United States, sources in the prime minister's office said on Thursday.
Lieberman, who has stirred controversy over his hardline stance [oooooh!] towards Arab-Israelis, will be given the key job -- which is separate from the foreign ministry portfolio -- on Sunday, the sources said.
The United States and Israel have been engaged since 1999 in a "strategic dialogue" which notably covers the three billion dollars Washington sends annually in aid to its staunch ally...
Yes, we could all see this coming: Israeli Officials: Hey, It's Almost As If Obama's Trying To Detonate The US-Israeli Relationship. Don't worry, though. At least Obama is still Pro Choice.
Priorities.
Ultra-nationalist. For brighter brights and whiter whites. The cleanest wash you've ever seen!
...and that's Prince Obama to you, buster.
It will be interesting to see if Lieberman's straight talking can get around the twists and turns of US foreign policy.
