come and go, but only two countries are really with us – Great
Britain and Israel,” George Schultz said.
Speaking
at the America-Israel Friendship League (AIFL) dinner at the New
York Hilton, the former secretary of state was in full support of
Pres. George Bush’s campaign to attack terrorist states
before they can strike with their weapons of mass destruction.
“That’s
called pre-emption. People are shocked by that word. Get used to it!
Self-defense is a valid reason for a pre-emptive strike.
“If
there is a rattlesnake in the yard, you don’t wait for it to bite
before you strike.”
AIFL
chairman Kenneth Bialkin and president Mortimer Zuckerman
honored Schultz and G. Allen Andreas, chairman/ceo of Archer
Daniels Midland, and Eli Hurvitz, chairman of Teva
Pharmaceuticals.
“Investing in Israel is good business,” Andreas
said.
