(Miami Herald) Glenn Garvin - Senate Minority Leader Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), speaking to the Israeli-American Council on Sunday, described Israel as "a mighty aircraft carrier" in service of U.S. interests in the Middle East. "Israel does the job so American soldiers and sailors don't have to be there," he said. "Israel does more to help against terrorism than any other place." House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who likely will be Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives in January, said, "It is in our national security interest" to support Israel. "It's about security. It's about values."
