Ah.....the year is only 5 days old and Henry Kissinger just mumbled the magic words - New World Order. He said that Obama is in a position to create it, thanks to all the global good will he is receiving.
It wouldn't help anyone to have a president-elect starting a contriversy about the current chain of command of government. Bush is accountible for his administration, not Obama. Obama's starts noon, eastern time on the 20th of this month.
I support him not muddying the waters, I still remember how deep and lasting a problem Clinton had when he didn't chose his battles wisely upon assuming the presidency in regards to the gays in the military question, even though he was right; gays and lesbians should not be discriminated against.
If Obama does not turn the screws on Israel upon assuming the presidency, this is a different matter. At the very least, the Israelis need a bit of tough love delivered to them.
In the form of a deminishment or ceasing of support politically, and in terms of aid provided them.
They are very wrong in this invasion of Gaza. It won't end the problems they want it to. It will exaerbate and expand it.

Errrrr....Mike....by waiting until the 3rd week of January, the Palestinians will be an endangered species. Turning the screws [ whatever that means] on the Israelis at that late date will help the remaining traumatized Palestinians how????
Though Obama can't determine foreign policy now, a speech by Obama at a news conference televised around the world would certainly have Olmert and Livni think twice about continuing the brutality against the Palestinians.
