SECURITY FEARS SHADOW OBAMA TOUR
Fri Jul 18 2008 06:26:46 ET
The articale is as follows:
Obama 's planned trip to Israel and the West Bank next week has raised security concerns to levels not seen since the Illinois senator began his presidential bid, officials tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
Coming just weeks after shots were fired at Israel's TLV airport during a farewell ceremony for France's Sarkozy, from an apparent suicide of a security guard, Obama's trek to the region has become a serious logistical and safety challenge.
"I would prefer if he did not make the trip to Ramallah," a concerned government official explained Thursday night from Washington. "And he must use extreme caution throughout Israel at this time, in my opinion, especially Jerusalem."
A planned foot tour of Jerusalem's Old City has been called off, a senior source reveals.
[Obama's specific itinerary is not being made public.]
The six-day foreign adventure is set to begin on Monday. Campaign officials have announced stops in Jordan, Israel, Germany, France and England.
Now call me sceptical, because in this case I am very sceptical. Several reasons as to why. The first, when Obama has made many statements and shown his true colors in favor of the radical Islamofacist, why would they want to kill him. He is their favorite in the race for president. As a matter of fact the majority of his canpaign finacing has come from the middle east, (see Maureen Dowds column on this).
Next, is the fact Obama has a week , very week foriegn policy. It might as well not exist.
Then we have the celeb angle as well. With the MSM favorite left oped journelist along for the ride. Could this just be a publicity stunt to increas their television ratings? Very possible as they big three networks have basically a no folowing in the moderate, and right political spectrum. Only the left and far left nutjobs believe the NBC,CBS, and ABC actually report news without a leftist bias.
So is this threat real or imagined from the depths of the left wing news. Trying to not only raise support for the left wing candidacy of Obama, but public sympathy for three news readers who have forgotten how to report the news and not editorialise it?
