Our Position Hasn’t Changed
And that’s a position of mocking the idiots of this world. And it’s been far too long since our lat mockery of White House Press Secretary, Jay Carney. Jeez, it’s must have been a week or so. Get a load of this tap-dancing:
Kudos to the second reporter who presses the issue. Seriously, Mr. Carney can’t spit out what the White House’s and therefore our nation’s position is with regard to the capital of Israel?
Maybe I can help Mr. Carney out. Wikipedia indicates that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel but points out that almost all nations do not recognize it as such and maintain their embassies in Tel Aviv or other large cities. The CIA Factbook, maintained by the US Government, clearly lists Jerusalem as the capital but makes the same note about the location of embassies.
Wikipedia has the following subnote:
The U.S. Congress subsequently adopted the Jerusalem Embassy Act, which said that the U.S. embassy should be relocated to Jerusalem and that it should be recognized as the capital of Israel. However, the US Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel concluded that the provisions of the act “invade exclusive presidential authorities in the field of foreign affairs and are unconstitutional”. Since passage of the act, all Presidents serving in office have determined that moving forward with the relocation would be detrimental to U.S. national security concerns and opted to issue waivers suspending any action on this front.
The democrats are trying to start a stir that Romney lacks foreign policy experience but when one’s administration can not even outline at a basic level what their position is with regards to the capital of Israel, I think they are on thin ice.
GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
