Remember how the Clinton Administration leaned heavily on Israel during Bibi's previous prime ministership, hard enough to get him out and replace him with Barack. That worked out real well at Camp David, now didn't it? As for drones violating Lebanese sovereignty, sovereign nations are obligated, obligated note well, to prevent their territory from being used for attacks on other states unless they want to carry out actions of war against those states. And if you carry out or allow acts of war against another state that state is fully within its rights to make war back at you. That is true international law, going back centuries. That is what Israel has done, in Lebanon, in Gaza, and in the PA, when Israel has been attacked. Is that too difficult for the morons in the media, the UN, and elsewhere to understand? I guess so. If Lebanon is concerned about her sovereignty then the Lebanese can damned well stop Hezbollah from making war on Israel. Otherwise Lebanon hasn't got a legal leg to stand on. Actual international law supports Israel self-defense, here and in Gaza. And until the anti-Israel sluts of the media and "international community" who mouth claims of Israel violations of that law accept this and start coming down on the real lawbreakers, Israel's enemies, they can just STFU.

The demand for "total settlement freeze" was moronic from the beginning. All it did was give the PA a reason to avoid the negotiating table. Pure stupidity. I mean, really, what the hell was Obama trying to accomplish by demanding of Netanyahu something that Netanyahu was in no position to give? Was he trying to topple his coalition? I voted for Barack, but it’s highly unlikely that I will do so in the second round.

As I left the voting booth I remember hoping that in four years I'd laugh,c heerfully acknowledge I'd made a mistake, and happily fill in the Obama line on the 2012 ballot. It's already looking extremely unlikely that I'll do that, but I never dreamed what sort of policies he'd actually follow. As to American Jews waking up one morning and figuring out that they allowed Obama to lull them into voting for him, well, it could happen but only in the sense that it could happen that Lucy Lawless is about to ring my doorbell and ask if she can come in and get out of these wet clothes. Possible but not likely. I broke the habit of a lifetime last fall and voted Republican for president, something I once would have never thought I would do.
