In my book, a good rule of thumb would be, when evaluating political candidates…actions speak MUCH louder than words…

Glenn Beck rally in Israel hooks no major GOP candidates yet; Lieberman, Cain may be in

None of the major 2012 GOP presidential candidates currently plan to attend an August rally in Israel being held by conservative firebrand and outgoing Fox news host Glenn Beck

Reprinted from washingtonpost.com

But Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.), a former Democratic vice presidential contender, signaled he might show up. And former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain, a long shot in the 2012 nomination fight to face President Obama, said he would like to attend. Lieberman and Cain are the only two politicians listed on the event’s Facebook page.

“I’ve been approached by [Beck] to go,” Lieberman said in an interview Wednesday. “Actually, by clergy both Christian and Jewish, and I spoke to Glenn Beck. I’d love to participate. .?.?. He’s very committed to making it nonpartisan, non-ideological. It’s just going to be a rally to support Israel and the U.S.- Israel relationship.”

The pro-Israel rally, the details of which are vague, is dubbed “Restoring Courage” and is slated for Aug. 24 at Jerusalem’s Western Wall. It is a follow-up to last year’s massive Beck-led “Restoring Honor” rally in Washington, which drew tens of thousands of people and was more religious than political in tone.

But despite Beck’s clout with conservative voters, none of the declared GOP presidential candidates have said they will go. And a Beck spokesman said that none of the major candidates have yet been asked to attend.

Contradicting a Wednesday morning report by an Israeli news organization, Mitt Romney, former House speaker Newt Gingrich and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) all say they don’t plan to attend the rally. Nor does fellow Fox news host and 2008 presidential contender Mike Huckabee.

“There have been some inaccuracies regarding the specifics of the event,” a spokesman for the Beck rally said Wednesday. “No one on the [Web site’s] list has been contacted or asked to appear. Senator [Joe] Lieberman has expressed his support and that he might attend, schedule permitting.”

A spokeswoman for Bachmann, who formally launched her 2012 presidential bid at Monday’s GOP debate, said she “does not have an Israel trip on her schedule.”

Meanwhile, Huckabee wrote on Twitter that he is not going to the rally, despite possible plans to be in Israel in July. A Gingrich aide also denied any commitment to attend.

There was no word on the plans of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, who is still weighing a 2012 presidential bid. Palin was a featured guest at Beck’s rally on the Mall last summer.

In announcing the event, Beck wrote on his Web site, “I invite you to join me in Israel this summer to stand together and show the world what living a life of faith and honor really means.” He made no mention of U.S. policy toward Israel.

This may turn out to be even more significant than Egypt’s imminent fall…

While all eyes are focused on the fall of Egypt to islamo-fascism, not very many are paying attention to the fall of Lebanon. Lebanon is now in the hands of Iranian proxy Hizbollah. They have more than 40,000 missiles aimed at the heart of Israel. Just a couple of years ago, Hizbollah proved to the world that were ready, willing and able to use their missiles to threaten the length and breadth of her neighbor to the south, Israel.

Iranian-backed Hizbollah began their takeover of Lebanon by assassinating Prime Minister Hariri in 2005. As the UN tribunal stands ready to point the finger of accusation at them, they have finished off the job by forcing Hariri’s son Saad to resign as prime inister and placing their puppet in control of a Hizbollah-dominated coalition.

Jimmy Carter lost Iran from the pro-Western bloc to the islamo-fascists. He is starting to look pretty good in comparison to Barak Obama, who is about to become the American president that lost Lebanon, Turkey, Syria, Egypt and who knows how many more formerly friendly Arab nations to the ayatollahs…

Hope and change…

I just hope that things stop changing for the bad pretty soon….

Lebanon, not Egypt, may determine the fate of democracy in the Middle East

Despite the media’s recent focus on Egypt, events in Lebanon may well tell us more about the troubled prospects for Middle Eastern democracy. The fall of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s government, replaced by a Hezbollah-dominated coalition, dramatically imperils Beirut’s democratic Cedar Revolution.

Reprinted from JSOnline by John R. Bolton

Financed and dominated by Iran, terrorist Hezbollah has consistently refused to disarm and become a legitimate political party. Instead, it enjoys the best of both worlds, contesting elections while retaining the military ability to enforce its will against uncongenial results. History will rightly blame the West for the tragedy of the takeover in Beirut, because of its unwillingness to stand against Hezbollah and its Iranian puppet masters. Washington must withhold recognition from any Lebanese government that relies on Hezbollah support.

In mid-January at The Hague, the prosecutor for the Special Tribunal for Lebanon submitted long-awaited indictments regarding the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Although the indictments are not yet public, they are widely expected to finger top leaders in Hezbollah, Syria and potentially Iran, and they are doubtless behind Hezbollah’s decision to assert itself by collapsing the government of Hariri’s son.

Rescuing Lebanon from radicals and terrorists will require strong action, noticeably absent in recent U.S. policy. We can no longer pretend that the special tribunal’s existence is an adequate response to the real problem in Lebanon: Tehran’s long-standing drive for regional hegemony. It was always a mistake to confuse the effectiveness of an international criminal court with courts of real constitutional governments, and harmfully naive to think that the special tribunal could operate in a vacuum, as the events in Lebanon make painfully clear.

Of course, Hezbollah’s toppling of the Lebanese government is just the latest of its cancerous efforts in its home base. And it remains a continuing threat to innocent civilians in Israel, to other Arab governments in the Middle East and increasingly to other nations around the globe.

For years before Hariri’s February 2005 murder, the West explained away or ignored Hezbollah’s clear role as an active agent of Syrian and Iranian influence. Western dupes and sympathizers noted Hezbollah’s support for schools and hospitals among Lebanon’s Shiite Muslims as if it were a different Hezbollah from the one terrorizing Israel and subverting and intimidating Lebanon’s faltering efforts at representative government. Hezbollah’s diaphanous justification for its military capability – expelling Israel from Lebanon – in effect ended in 2000 when Israel complied with U.N. Security Council resolutions by withdrawing its forces from southern Lebanon. Of course, protecting Lebanon is legitimately the responsibility only of the Lebanese armed forces, which in fact Syria and Hezbollah have also been working to bring under their control.

Western support for Lebanese democracy has been for the most part limited to a series of Security Council resolutions, particularly Resolution 1559, calling for Syria to withdraw its forces from Lebanon, and Resolution 1595, creating an international investigation commission to assist Lebanon in prosecuting the Hariri assassination. But Hezbollah foiled these efforts in 2006 by provoking war with Israel. The Security Council ultimately imposed a cease-fire and called for “the disarming of all armed groups in Lebanon,” for an embargo against rearming Hezbollah and for Lebanon’s government to take control of its entire territory, in order to eliminate Hezbollah’s state within a state.

But, as so often before, the West did not follow through. Instead, Iran and Syria rearmed and restored Hezbollah to greater strength (unequivocally demonstrating that Hezbollah was their proxy).

The West must insist on enforcing the Security Council resolutions in support of Lebanese sovereignty and peaceful, representative government, or stop engaging in meaningless gestures. This is our last opportunity before Hezbollah’s armed capabilities swallow democracy in Lebanon, perhaps permanently, and dramatically increase the risk of renewed hostilities throughout the region.

President Obama’s reaction is crucial. Unlike Washington’s repeated prior failures, we must refuse to recognize any Hezbollah-dominated government as legitimate, at least until Hezbollah fully disarms and becomes a real political party. This may well mean committing to more than an impotent U.N. peacekeeping force in Lebanon. Hezbollah’s 1983 bombings of U.S. and French forces in Beirut caused their withdrawal, a rare failure of will by then-President Reagan, leading to today’s crisis. We stand aside again at our peril.

The White House has been obsessed for two years with pressuring Israel to make concessions to Palestinians instead of focusing on the manifestations of Iran’s menace. Perhaps the humiliation of Hezbollah’s collapsing of Saad Hariri’s government as Hariri was meeting in the Oval Office will help spur Obama into meaningful action. If not, the lights will be going out in Lebanon for a long time to come, with devastating consequences in the broader Middle East.

John R. Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and the author of “Surrender Is Not an Option.” He wrote this for the Los Angeles Times.t routed forces loyal to the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in 2007.
