R Is For Reverse

Israel is headed in the wrong direction:

Egypt's Foreign Minister Ahmad Abul Gheit voiced concern Monday for Middle East peace hopes after an ultra-nationalist party signed up to be part of Israel's new government.

Israeli prime minister designate Benjamin Netanyahu took the first step toward forming a right-wing government by inking a coalition deal with the Yisrael Beitenu party of Avigdor Lieberman.

Lieberman is a controversial firebrand who has been slammed as a "racist" by critics.

With the likes of Netanyahu and Lieberman at the helm, look for Israel to return to the slash-and-burn tactics of yesterday.

And Obama could give a sh*t. That's what really worries Egypt.
