Thanks. Your scenario sounds smart, likely and reasonable. I just can't shake the sense that there is always much going on beneath the diplomacy. What we see is merely window dressing.
I have to say that it amuses me to no end that people think the President and his team don't "really understand" the nature of "fascist Islam."
It has been a long time.. back in the Ford Administration, but there was a time when I did have access to the inside track. I can assure you there is a ton of things going on under the surface.
If you want to know what is going on ... ask your self what is the media not telling me and why. Note the media was telling us everywhere the Israeli forces were deployed Now they are not... Why?
Why are there not a lot more Israely causualties. If 10,000 troops had x number of causualties... then why isn't 30,000 troops suffering 3 times x. But they are not ... WHY?
You can see how things can be deduced from what you KNOW.. and what you are NOT TOLD.
