This situation started with Bush. Israel uses it to “get the word out.”
I say this because when Israel was threatened by states building nukes, they took out TWO, so far. Irak’s Osarik. And, syria’s.
Can you imagine US war planes attacking Israeli jets?
As a matter of fact, can you think of the news reports, where our pilots get KILLED? Because they fired on Israeli jets? Go ahead. Spin it.
Israel knows it has the time. It also knows the appropriate buttons it needs to push to ALERT AMERICANS to the dangers inherent in Gates’ plans! This is a surrender. This is a capitulation. Just to get out of Irak.
We should’a taken our troops out of Irak as soon as we knew Maliki went to Iran for support! GOT IT. And, won!
You bet, there’s a lot of truth waiting to be told.
But for news value? Try to figure out WHY a news item works. At getting you to know what’s up. Without spelling it out.
Obama, meanwhile, has come out in the open. And, now to defend his “bow” to the saudi king; lists his “head fake.” It really was a head fake. The saud’s are scared at the iranian overtures. Israel’s NOT!
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

A post like this is why I like FR. You think outside the Box.

You're right about this.

On this I would disagree. My viewing of The Bow is that it was unscripted, that 0bama couldn't overcome his early Muslim training in Indonesia regarding the protectors of Mecca and Medina and the Honor accorded to them.
One commentator pointed out that he appeared to "check" his bow when he realized how it would be viewed.
No, I think that was the Real 0bama on display.
