Freeman: Jooos blocked his appoint

The Washington Post in their editorial this morning, surprisingly, take up the issue of what a poor choice Charles Freeman was for the Obama Administration’s National Intelligence Council.

A former envoy to Saudi Arabia and China, he suffered from an extreme case of clientitis on both accounts. In addition to chiding Beijing for not crushing the Tiananmen Square democracy protests sooner and offering sycophantic paeans to Saudi King “Abdullah the Great,” Mr. Freeman headed a Saudi-funded Middle East advocacy group in Washington and served on the advisory board of a state-owned Chinese oil company.

They also point out that none of this was allowed into the light until Congress started asking questions and now suddenly, everyone thinks he’s a bit of a nutcase. From his emailed statement yesterday, according to Walter Pincus;

“The libels on me and their easily traceable email trails show conclusively that there is a powerful lobby determined to prevent any view other than its own from being aired, still less to factor in American understanding of trends and events in the Middle East,” Freeman wrote.

Referring to what he called “the Israel Lobby,” he added: “The aim of this Lobby is control of the policy process through the exercise of a veto over the appointment of people who dispute the wisdom of its views.” One result of this, he said, is “the inability of the American public to discuss, or the government to consider, any option for US policies in the Middle East opposed by the ruling faction in Israeli politics.”

Yeah, someone is keeping the Arabs from advancing their opinions. Like in the video I took earlier this year of the poor Palestinian supporters being oppressed by the Jew lobby known as Free Republic;

And in this video I took earlier this year in which a Jewish counter-protester struck an Arab protester’s fist with his face;

The Post editorial concludes;

What’s striking about the charges by Mr. Freeman and like-minded conspiracy theorists is their blatant disregard for such established facts. Mr. Freeman darkly claims that “it is not permitted for anyone in the United States” to describe Israel’s nefarious influence…The real question is why an administration that says it aims to depoliticize U.S. intelligence estimates would have chosen such a man to oversee them.

The same reason that the obama Administration said they were going to reduce earmarks and then didn’t – they’re still campaigning and they don’t figure that the rhetoric needs to match their actions.
