Israel's next prime minister, Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu, has said his incoming government will be a "partner for peace" with the Palestinians. He said he would negotiate with the Palestinian Authority, a change of tack after being critical of previous talks.
BiBi's new plan? $$$ for peaceIsrael's Netanyahu says he doesn't expect US policy pressure
You know what that statement says to me? He has already capitulated, so naturally there will be no pressure.

I didn't! ~
U.S. National Security Adviser Jones gave these remarks at the 45th Munich Conference on Security Policy at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof on February 8, 2009.
"Thank you for that wonderful tribute to Henry Kissinger yesterday. Congratulations.

Mythical Moderate Glow Ballin' Taqiyyalope Khatami's thoughts on world politics:MOHAMMAD KHATAMI, FORMER PRESIDENT OF IRAN (voiceover translation): For sure, the coming of Obama was a new phenomenon in America. This change was very exciting. ... However, we have to wait and see how fundamental this change will be. For the betterment of America itself, Europe and the third world, America needs to feel like a brother and a friend rather than a big brother and master.

RAFAEL EPSTEIN: Many Jewish groups say the other litmus test for the Iranian regime is its support for those who deny the Holocaust. Mohammad Khatami says he's never been a Holocaust denier, and that anti-Semitism only happens in Europe.
MOHAMMAD KHATAMI (voiceover translation): The Holocaust was a reality that happened in Europe. And in my opinion, it was a tragedy. And today, any act similar to the Holocaust should be condemned, no matter where, whether it is anti-Semitism happening in Europe, or actions against the downtrodden people of Africa, in Palestine against the Palestinians and anywhere that an act of genocide is happening.
Khatami: Kuffars, GTFO of Afghanistan:“We see that some troops are coming all the way from the other side of the world to establish peace and security there,” Khatami told students at the Australian National University in Canberra. “We tell them, leave them alone, they would not cry any more.”Khatami is on an visit to Australia sponsored by Melbourne’s La Trobe University.
In Canberra, Khatami ducked questions about Iran’s nuclear programme, co-existence with Israel, treatment of Baha’is and women.

TIM GEITHNER SEEKS BIG STICKAll the better with which to seize you with, my pretty!
Geithner to Outline Major Overhaul of Finance RulesTreasury Secretary Tim Geithner yesterday asked for new authority that some economists say amounts to nationalization powers in case his latest bank bailout proposal fails.
A day after unveiling a $1 trillion plan to buy up toxic subprime-mortgage holdings, Geithner said he needs expanded authority to seize troubled non-banks - such as huge financial firms, insurers and hedge funds - in the event of their possible collapse.
Geithner, appearing before the House Financial Services Committtee headed by Rep. Barney Frank (D-Newton), said he wanted to avoid a repeat of the government’s pumping massive amounts of money into American International Group, the giant insurer now on life support.

US GOVTS: Proposed Resolution Authority To Be Led By Treasury, FDICThe Treasury Department today outlined its proposed legislation for a resolution authority, which would be headed by the Department and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and informed by the Federal Reserve.The authority would allow the government to place a systemically important financial firm into conservatorship or receivership and then to administer its orderly reorganization or wind-down if the Treasury Secretary and FDIC - in consultation with the Fed and other appropriate regulatory agency - deems that institution at risk of becoming insolvent and in turn, detrimental to US financial stability.

Shadow EU President?
To say that the EU is in on the brink of another crisis as a result of the fall of the Czech government would be an exaggeration.Czech PM Topolanek officially resigns
But the defeat suffered this week in Prague comes at an awkward time for both the European Union and the Czechs who hold the EU's rotating presidency.
While the long-term thrust of EU policy is not in question, the Czechs must now guide the bloc with a caretaker government in the midst of global financial crisis. Moreover, the Czech government's loss of legitimacy could lead to a damaging power struggle within the 27-member bloc.

The School of Law hosted a panel discussion in the Star Commons Wednesday to explore the issue of "Nationalizing our Banks."
