Dear friends:
 
In case you may be impressed and influenced by Jim Baker’s extensive government resume’ and past “deal-making,” the below article should enlighten you.  This was forwarded to me by John Terry of The Revelation Files ( http://www.revelationfiles.com).

Jim Baker is once again on center stage in Washington D.C. with his "Iraq Study Group."
 
Let's review Jim Baker's anti-Israel posture over the past 15 years. In 1990, Baker lured Assad of Syria into an anti-Saddam coalition.
 
Baker overlooked Assad's leadership role in international terrorism and showered the butcher of Hamas with international legitimacy and gave Assad a free hand in Lebanon.
 
Assad took that free hand to fully occupy Lebanon where thousands of Lebanese were massacred and the anti-Syrian Christian administration was replaced with a pro-Syrian puppet administration in Beirut. We are still suffering in Lebanon from Baker's "pragmatism."
 
This is an example of what Jim Baker calls his "pragmatism" in his dealmaker political role.
 
During the 1980's and until the 1990 invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein, Baker referred to Hussein as "a constructive leader."
 
Baker considered Yasser Arafat (before the 1993 Oslo Accord) as an essential partner to a peace process. Baker's "pragmatism" turned a blind eye to Arafat's record of terrorism, pandered to the PLO and attempted to break the back of Israel's Prime Minister Shamir by denying Israel the loan guarantees (not cash) for the absorption of Soviet Jews and convinced President Bush Sr. to threaten to veto any pro-Israel legislation proposed on Capitol Hill.
 
Baker's "pragmatism" pressured Israel to freeze Jewish settlements and to roll back to the 1949 lines and accused Israel of being an obstruction to the peace process.
 
Baker is once again sticking the knife in Israel's back by connecting America's problems with Iraq and Iran to Israel. He's saying that America's problems can be settled if the Israel-Arab affair is settled.
 
Fact: America's problems with Iran have nothing to do with Israel. Iran's president has said he intends to use nuclear weapons against the United States of America.  My father's generation would have considered this statement a declaration of war and bombed Iran by this time.
 
America's problems in Iraq have nothing to do with Israel.
 
The fact is this: Israel cannot make peace with Terrorist Organizations (Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon) whose covenants call for the death of all Jews and the absolute destruction of Israel.  Israel has no partner for peace.
 
Once again the Jim Baker "pragmatism" is dead wrong!  He was and remains anti-Israel.
