No, this woman (whoever she is) is babbling about establishing a 'protection force' for the alleged Palestinians, she said nothing about invading Israel. I get the oddest feeling that the video was made a long time ago, even though it's dated last Wednesday. The clothes and the hair of those two people look like when I was a kid. Anyway, the woman couldn't even look at the camera; did anyone notice that? I noticed other things too but...oh well.

From the youtube site:

In 2002 Samantha Power made the above statement, calling for a U.S. military invasion of Israel.

In January 2009 President Obama appointed Samantha Power to the National Security Council, as director for multilateral affairs.

A transcript of the above interview is below:

INTERVIEWER: "Let me give you a thought experiment here, and it is the following: without addressing the Palestine -- Israel problem, let's say you were an advisor to the President of the United States, how would you respond to current events there? Would you advise him to put a structure in place to monitor that situation, at least if one party or another [starts] looking like they might be moving toward genocide?"

POWER: "What we don't need is some kind of early warning mechanism there, what we need is a willingness to put something on the line in helping the situation. Putting something on the line might mean alienating a domestic constituency of tremendous political and financial import; it may more crucially mean sacrificing

How do you establish a protection force for the alleged Palestinians while not invading Israel?

I get the oddest feeling that the video was made a long time ago, even though it's dated last Wednesday.

The point is, she still advocated this. Unless you have evidence she's changed her opinion since then?

Palestine?... Funny that as I have pointed out before, Both Israelis and Arabs are Palestinian. Is she talking about the Arabs that live in Palestine that came from the Ottoman empire?

She's talking 'pseudo-intellectual speak'. People like this talk to hear their own heads rattle and to present themselves as being a certain kind of person. I've heard more compelling comments from ten year olds. :rolleyes:

Here's the danger - she now IS an advisor to the President!

From Wikipedia:

"She is currently a Special Assistant to President Barack Obama and runs the Office of Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights as Senior Director of Multilateral Affairs on the Staff of the National Security Council."
