So, how’s that Syrian outreach going for us? Not good at all. Nope. So, let’s see—the Obama administration outreach to Russia? Zilch. Syria? Zilch. Iran? Zilch. North Korea? Zilch. How’s about the Obama attitude towards Israel?
Smart power not looking so smart about now: Speaking of the Obama attitude towards Israel, which was apparently, “Do as I say or I’ll hold my breath ’til I turn blue over settlements!” is now—over. Never mind. Forget the settlement freeze. What-EVER. I have more important things to concentrate on, like being really pissy in press conferences. (Really, it was on during the soap I DVR, and I could not get over how pissy the President of the United States was. It was like watching an SNL parody of a presidential press conference.)
The really smart power: So, you know what kind of smart power works? The kind that comes with high explosives dropped from the air.
Syria refused to fight on Iran’s side in case of a military stand-off between Tehran and Israel following an attack on its nuclear facilities, an American document published by WikiLeaks revealed on Wednesday.
The strong horse wins in Arabia, Barry.
Wikileaks implicate Hezbollah, again: I’m starting to think that Israel is the only state in the world that’s actually benefiting from Wikileaks. No wonder Iran is accusing Israel of being behind them. This time, we have proof of Hezbollah’s involvement in a Jordanian terror attack on Israelis.
Nice peacekeeping unit you have there. Shame if anything should happen to it: If war breaks out in Lebanon, the first ones to go will be the UN peacekeepers says—Hezbollah. I anxiously await the statements of condemnation from an outraged UN General Assembly. (No, of course I don’t. Israeli Double Standard Time rule is in effect.)
I think Hezbollah is just “working the refs” like a basketball coach. Making sure that when the fighting starts, UNIFIL will be declaring their independence and neutrality by blaming Israel.
