Title: DO NOT say naughty things about Israel

Ambassador Chas Freeman is sunk, withdraws selection to National Intelligence Council. (http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0309/Freemans_out.html#comments)

Oy.  Just goes to show that you can have a robust debate over whether or not Israel is awesome or SO awesome in ME policy.  Mandark and Willco, I saw that fist bump!

Freeman also said some pretty harsh-sounding stuff about Tiananmen Square, but I don't think anyone believes that's the root cause of this.

Hell, Dennis f'n Ross is being accused of membership (http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/p17907.xml) in the Iran Lobby these days.
