I can picture the editors at the New York Times. “Write two stories, one blasting the US for getting involved, and another blasting the US for not getting involved. We’ll decide which one to run when we see what happens”.
I heard NPR's Daniel Schorr pompously saying the USA hasn't done anything.... as if this were a situation that has gone on forever.
Idiot, he would be saying the opposite if we DID do anything.
Don't ask me why I was listening, it was an accident.
