So, karen, if members of the Bush administration were to call Kerry a French Socialist or a German Christian Democrat, that would be fine and dandy, no slur about 'whose interests is he really working for' intended?

What does it mean to assign an American official a place in an Israeli administration/political spectrum?

Besides which, those who bring up this trope are not particularly shy about pounding the 'he's really working for Israel' point home. To quote the esteemed Senator Hollings:

Israel long since would have taken us to the weapons of mass destruction if there were any or if they had been removed. With Iraq no threat, why invade a sovereign country? The answer: President Bush's policy to secure Israel.

Led by Wolfowitz, Richard Perle and Charles Krauthammer, for years there has been a domino school of thought that the way to guarantee Israel's security is to spread democracy in the area


Get that? Israel knew that Saddam was no threat (the Mossad knows everything, right? would that our CIA enjoyed such a reputation), so Bush knew, but Wolfowitz, Perle and Krauthammer turned on the Jew-beams and dragged America into a perfectly unnecessary war purely to safeguard Israel.
We pay, they gain.
