"David Petraeus sent a briefing team to the Pentagon with a stark warning: America's relationship with Israel is important, but not as important as the lives of America's soldiers."

We can blame it on Shas, but the settlement enterprise flourished under Olmert/Livni, Sharon and all the PMs before them. The current team is just more crude.
Why didn't you bother pointing out what Gen. Petraeus had to say on the topic? Why are we (MSM) trying to sweep his comments under the rug?
"Foreign Policy's Mark Perry reveals that Biden's concerns about Israeli behavior endangering American troops stem from a special briefing delivered in January at the Pentagon. On January 16, "team of senior military officers from the U.S. Central Command [CENTCOM]," acting under the orders of CENTCOM commander General David Petraeus, presented Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Michael Mullen with a "33-slide, 45-minute PowerPoint briefing" outlining the concern that "Israeli intransigence on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was jeopardizing U.S. standing in the region.""

Another must read is Rosenberg's piece detailing how AIPAC is conspiring against Obama's stance. Given Petraeus's comments, this is just too unreal.
