For HHS policy implementation purposes, review Howard Urnovitz’ 3 testimonies to Congress on human genome project and what has held up progress in AIDS, Gulf War Syndrome, etc. – “square pegs in round holes”

You now have a nice new post to target (not here please – this is the 9/11 conspiracy debate). Just remember that Kroft told Rose that Obama had a spine of steel. He makes his own decisions. See you there.

“no one in the United States Senate has been a better friend to Israel than Joe Biden. I would have never, ever joined this ticket were I not absolutely sure Barack Obama shared my passion.”

But the poetry effused on a different occasion and was related to various part of his anatomy:

“My support for Israel begins in my stomach, goes to my heart and ends up in my head .. I promise you, I guarantee you, I guarantee you, I would not have joined Barack Obama’s campaign as vice president if I had any doubt, even the slightest doubt, that he shared the same commitment to Israel that I share.”

“Thank you for that kind introduction and that warm welcome. May I in turn greet you with the ancient words of welcome offered to pilgrims in Jerusalem – “Bruchim Habaim B’Shem Hashem” – blessed be those who come in the name of the Lord.

That greeting is especially fitting for you because you have come to Washington not just as men or women, Republicans or Democrats, conservatives or liberals. You are here as Christians United for Israel. You represent a powerful force of people of faith in America who have pledged to never forget thee, O Jerusalem.

And I know, as a Christian friend likes to remind me, that there are a lot more Christian Zionists in America than Jewish Zionists. And, I know the support of Christian Zionists today is critical to Israel’s security and strength, and to America’s security and strength.

So I am honored by your invitation to speak tonight, to thank you for what you are doing, to exhort you to continue to do more — which is God’s work, and to pray with you that you are successful.

I begin by thanking your founder, Pastor John Hagee. I would describe Pastor Hagee with the words the Torah uses to describe Moses, he is an “Eesh Elo Kim,” a man of God because those words fit him; and, like Moses he has become the leader of a mighty multitude in pursuit of and defense of Israel.

“Rep. Rahm Emanuel, the Democrat congressman for the 5th District of Illinois in Chicago is the son of an Israeli terrorist. Rahm’s father, Benjamin, was a member of the Irgun, the Zionist terrorist organization that coined a new word as they blew up hotels, train stations, and other buildings in Palestine in the 1930s and 40s.

Rahm was an Israeli citizen until he was 18 years old, when for obvious reasons he hid his Israeli passport in his underwear drawer. In 1991, however, he pulled his Israeli passport out and went and reportedly joined the Israeli Army to defend Zion from Saddam’s Scuds. “
