Hi again, Daled Amos, somehow I stumbled on this blog post again and saw a post from a "Cindy" and knowing that's my name I looked twice and it was <I>me</I>! I didn't remember commenting here before and see you've replied to my comment, so though it's been a month or so, I'll reply to yours, including your question.<BR/><BR/>Where I read about Jones and troops and borders is hard to say, since

Cindy--Bolton respects Baker for his diplomatic savy, not necessarily for the opinions he holds. All Bolton said was, "He knew how politics operated both domestically and internationally." Even Baker's critics acknowledge his abilities.<BR/><BR/>As far as Jones goes, in the article I saw (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22008568/) all it said about Jones is that "State Department spokesman Sean

Soccer Dad, odd that vis-a-vis Israel supporting McCain seems to almost boil down to a process of elimination--compared to Obama and Clinton you'd think McCain would be an easy choice.

Uh, soccer dad, remember that when Bolton was asked last November who his diplomatic role model was, his answer was <A HREF="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1684527,00.html" REL="nofollow">James Baker!</A><BR/><BR/>Also, remember that one of McCain's friends is Gen. James Jones, born and raised in Europe, the Condi-appointed Middle East envoy in charge of "monitoring" the peace

Scowcroft is definitely listed among McCain's advisers. Baker is not. And Bolton has just thrown his support to McCain.<BR/><BR/>Clearly McCain raises some questions about what his relationship to Israel will be. (He's also allied with Hagel a lot.)<BR/><BR/>Still I can't believe that either Democratic candidate won't be firmly in the Peace Now camp.

B"H I'm glad you posted this. Perhaps this will yield some chatter about where McCain really stand on Israel, and what his "plans" are.
