StrangerThan -> Obama addresses the UN (9/21/2011 8:53:39 AM)
|
Like most speeches, it was well delivered. It also wandered quite a bit, and on the topic of Israel and Palestine, laid out little in real terms. He did frame the issue quite well though, and said nothing about previous stances regarding the pre-6 day war borders - what most like to call the 1967 borders. The only reaction I saw from the crowd was the Palestinian delegate shaking his head. He pissed all over Syria, but played nice with Bahrain. And then... he wandered. Overall, good speech, not much on meat. http://news.yahoo.com/obama-seeks-save-mideast-policy-u-n-debacle-141831692.html UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - President Barack Obama pressed Israel and the Palestinians on Wednesday to relaunch peace talks as he made a last-ditch attempt to avert a U.N. crisis over Palestinian statehood and pull his Middle East policy back from the brink of diplomatic disaster.
