If they had that much influence, politicians and presidents, especially Republican ones, would not pursue a two-state solution.<br /><br />This is something that gets bandied about at regional political appearances, but it serves mainly as a political funding machination.SecondComingOfBasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336586430250490679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704331.post-15075866539599627012010-04-07T09:59:48.147-05:002010-04-07T09:59:48.147-05:00I don't think you can ignore the influence of ...I don't think you can ignore the influence of Christian Zionists when gauging US support of Israel.

According to a cargo manifest from the US navy, this included 387 “Blu” bombs used for blasting hardened or underground structures.<br /><br />Experts say that they are being put in place for an assault on Iran’s controversial nuclear facilities.
