Congresswoman Jane Harman of California, a conservative, seven-term Blue Dog Democrat, is the chair of the Intelligence Subcommittee of the House Homeland Security Committee. She spent eight years on the House Intelligence Committee. The counter-terrorism expert has made some 20 trips to the Middle East.
“Things have gotten much more dangerous for Israel” under George Bush, she told some 700 people at an Obama rally outside Cleveland yesterday.
Syria was on its way to producing nuclear weapons until Israel destroyed the Syrian facility. Iran is forging ahead with nuclear weapons and killing American soldiers through its proxies in Iraq. “Pakistan and Afghanistan are near collapse,” she said. “And John McCain is still obsessed with Iraq.”
Obama, she said, will “conclude” the war in Iraq and help “structure a peaceful world.”
“There’s no question in my mind,” she said, ”that Obama and Biden will be much better for Israel’s security than McCain-Palin.”
