There WILL be an end to their chutspah

Sorry if it hurts any American readers feelings, but it's the truth. Your country has run amuck around the world deciding who should be ruling as a puppet for them while they try to maintain control over the American Empire.

Beware! Those days are swiftly coming to an end. Their weapon for conquest has been the the dollar and the dollar is dying.

US worried over prospect of right-wing gov't

US officials are publicly taking a wait-and-see approach to the formation of a new Israeli government, but privately many have expressed concern that Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu might preside over a right-wing coalition.

"There would be great unease" at the prospect of such a government, said one Capitol Hill source.

...The Capitol Hill source, who didn't want to be identified speaking about another country's internal politics, noted that Netanyahu had made a strong effort to reach out to the Obama administration and made the case to the US and the Israeli public that he could work with the White House.

He said that attitude could help assuage US concerns when presented in a national-unity package, whose positions - whether under Netanyahu or Livni - would be more in line with the US's own policies of engagement on Arab-Israeli reconciliation.

"The hope is that there is a government that is really committed to peace with the Palestinians," The Washington Post quoted one senior administration official saying.

Even if Netanyahu prevails, the official added, "he's grown over the years. Getting back to the talks with the Palestinians is really the only solution."

...Still, many political analysts say there's no doubt the Obama administration would prefer to see a national-unity government headed by Livni.

"The impression in Israel is that the Obama administration has already made its preference known and that its preference is for Kadima - and that impression isn't going anywhere," said Georgetown University professor and Israel expert Michael Oren.

...When it comes to Livni, the administration sees someone who has spent the last year working with the Palestinians as part of a negotiating process and made the two-state solution an important part of her campaign,....

(Pot calling the kettle black???)
...Dennis Ross, Clinton's Middle East envoy and likely to be a top regional representative, described Netanyahu as "overcome by hubris" after his first election to the premiership and recalled him being "nearly insufferable, lecturing and telling us how to deal with the Arabs" in his book on the Oslo peace process.

(Hypocrites!)
...Still, publicly US officials are welcoming the Israeli democratic process and indicating their readiness to work with whoever becomes prime minister.

... "We certainly hope that a new government will continue to pursue a path to peace. I see no reason to think that a new government would do something otherwise."

(Such manipulators!)
...He added that if the US expressed its preference for Livni too loudly, it could backfire and hurt her position. He compared the situation to the boost in the polls Israel Beiteinu leader Avigdor Lieberman received from the police's pursuit of corruption charges, since some of his supporters felt he was being unfairly targeted.

"It could boomerang, just like Lieberman picked up [support] from the police investigation," he said.

But then again, Netanyahu is highly suspect. One has to take even such a report with a grain of salt since the media lies and is itself used to manipulate public opinion and perception.

Like most men, I suspect Obama has two coat pockets---one the left for Tsipi and one on the right for Bibi. If I'm right, watch out for a national unity government despite Netanyahu's protestations.

(Wow! That didn't take long at all!)
Likud Offers Kadima Unity Government Deal

And here is another 'cute' piece in the puzzle. Going back to the first article and in reference to Netanyahu: "He's said his biggest mistake when he was prime minister last time was not reaching out to Shimon Peres," who then headed the Labor party, Dermer said on a conference call with the United Jewish Communities and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs. "I do not believe he will make the same mistake this time."

And lo and behold: "Fifty MKs have declared support for MK Netanyahu, lending strength to the prevailing view that President Shimon Peres must give him the nod to form the next government, inasmuch as that task must fall to the party leader who has the most support."

We sent a message with the four seats won by NU, but a pitifully weak one. Do you see now why this system has to go!???
