Jews For Bush

Kerry strategist (and shoe-in for Secretary of State in a Kerry administration) Richard Holbrooke is now campaigning for Bush?

"I'm not here to criticize President Bush," Holbrooke, a former United Nations ambassador, told hundreds of members of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, a major pro-Israel lobbying group, gathered for their annual summit. "His support for Israel is, in my mind, unquestionable."

The crowd -- to Holbrooke's chagrin -- offered rousing applause. "That was not," he said wryly, "supposed to be an applause line."

It was not supposed to be, but it was. While Alan D. Solomont, Joe Lieberman, and Cameron Kerry continue to suggest that Kerry is just as pro-Israel as the President, certain very interested foriegn parties would beg to differ.
