The United States would veto a Palestinian declaration of statehood in the United Nations Security Council, U.S. senators visiting Israel said Monday.Senator Joseph Lieberman (CT), an independent, said "an essentially unilateral" declaration of statehood was the one thing that would not move the stalled peace process forward."I hope and presume that the United States would veto such a move if it ever came to the Security Council," Lieberman said. The only way to end the Middle East conflict was an agreement reached through bilateral negotiations, he added.The Palestinians should "give the new government of Israel an opportunity at the negotiating table," he said.

  1. #1    Why does anyone care what those two douchebags have to say?

    JOKE: Graham and Lie-Berman are sitting in a bar exchanging ideas on how to make people as miserable as possible. A woman sitting at the bar says to the bartender, "Tell those two douchebags at the table in the corner that I would like to buy them a drink."

    "Do you know who those guys are?" the bartender replied, "they're United States Senators! You can't refer to them as douchebags!"

    "Tell those two douchebags at the table in the corner that I would like to buy them a drink," the woman responded, apparently unimpressed with their credentials.

    So the bartender walks over to their table and tells them that the young lady at the bar has offered to buy drinks for the two senators. "Great, we'll have a couple of vinegars and water," the two douchebags replied! :-)

  3. #3    How can Lie-berman claim to be "independent" when he's paid - well paid - to promote Israel's interests over America's interests in the Senate?
