Wasn't his release supposed to be part of the Wye agreement? Looks like he is worth more to the US in jail and he will not be released without some kind of political gain. <br /><br />I don't know who is floating hte trial balloon.If Obama makes the offer, he comes out the winner because it puts Bibi on the hot seat. If Bibi is looking for an excuse to break his promise on extending the settlement freeze this would be pretty good cover.<br /><br />It would be a much better strategy to offer extending the freeze in exchange for Pollard and Shalit and watch everyone squirm.ehwhyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06436676108396672275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-16323805285149132162010-09-20T17:47:58.453+02:002010-09-20T17:47:58.453+02:00Something tells me that even Pollard himself won&#...Something tells me that even Pollard himself won't agree to the deal.yaakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08179304707239865515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-25516437563438408812010-09-20T14:20:27.354+02:002010-09-20T14:20:27.354+02:00the news reports that are talking abou tit are say...the news reports that are talking abou tit are saying it is coming from Netanyahu's people, and someone was sent to check with Obama's people to see if it is an issue worth suggesting.Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-15158054013922400752010-09-20T14:08:08.353+02:002010-09-20T14:08:08.353+02:00i can't believe that the US would stoop so low...i can't believe that the US would stoop so low as to use Pollard as a bargaining chip in such a cheap manner.
