President Obama Appoints Zionist as Special Advisor to Middle-East

In still another blow to partisan conservatives, who seem befuddled by the skillful political maneuvering of President Obama, U.S. diplomat Dennis Ross has been appointed special adviser on the Gulf and southwest Asia, which includes Iran, to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the State Department announced on Monday.

The Arab press was quick to jump on the story, according to Al Jazeera,
"If Dennis Ross is Appointed as a US Envoy to Iran, He Will Work for Israel, Not the US, Will Work for War, Not Peace
Dennis Ross was the main figure behind dragging the US to war against Iraq in 1991, instead of allowing Iraqis to withdraw from Kuwait without a war. He did that to guarantee the destruction of Iraq, as a strong Arab state, in order to safeguard the Israeli position in the oil-rich Middle East region
Thus doing, he paved the way for the Zionist Israel-firsters Wolfowitz, Pearle, and Feith to plan and execute the 2003 US invasion and occupation of Iraq."

According to Al Jazeera:
"He will work only for the Israeli occupation.
He is a Zionist Israel-firster, AIPAC operative, and agent of Israeli interests."


Ross's appointment as a special adviser dealing with Iran and the larger Middle East had been rumored since December. And it was met with pessimism in Tehran. IRNA, Iran's official news agency, described Ross as "a staunch supporter of the Zionist regime," who is likely to take an anti-Iranian stance.


State Department spokesman Robert Wood, in a statement announcing the appointment said "This is a region in which America is fighting two wars and facing challenges of ongoing conflict, terror, proliferation, access to energy, economic development and strengthening democracy and the rule of law,"

A former colleague, Dan Kurtzer (an Orthodox Jew and former U.S. ambassador to Israel), published a think-tank monograph containing anonymous complaints from Arab and American negotiators saying Ross was seen as biased towards Israel.

Ross was also critical of Yasser Arafat.
Ross supported the Iraq war, though he opposed some of the Bush Administration's policies for post-war reconstruction.

This morning at a State Dept. briefing, in answer to a question, State Department spokesman Robert Wood said "Israel has a special relationship with the U.S. which is strong, and will remain strong."
