Dude, where’s my bodyguards? The Hamasnik’s assassination is looking more and more awesome. Not only was the ex-terrorist (as in ex-parrot) one of the chief figures smuggling weapons from Iran to Gaza, but the intel on this operation was absolutely stunning. Why was he alone, when he was usually surrounded by bodyguards? Because they couldn’t get tickets on the same flight, so his bodyguards went on without him. This was a huge win for Israel, and a huge loss for Iran. One for the good guys! (And yes, HRW whines about “extrajudicial killings.” Tough.)
The new GOP strategy: Blame Obama. Well, it makes sense. The Republican playbook will include making sure that Democratic incumbents take their full share of the blame for the current economic conditions by pointing out that, hey, they voted for Obama’s bills. Cap and trade? Dems. Obamacare? Dems. Nationalizing car companies? Dems. Own your issues, Dems! Because the Repubs are going to make you, anyway.
Humiliating checkpoints still catching Palestinian terrorists: That’s funny, I thought the Palestinians wanted peace, and the “humiliating” checkpoints were just there to, well, humiliate them. And yet, this guy was caught with six pipe bombs. Gee, let’s think. What would he be using pipe bombs for? Hm.
