Zbig is a Realist/Pragmatist and they have been the traditional/dominant group in US foreign policy. Certainly under republicans. OTOH, the NeoCons dominated US foreign policy for a few short years under GW Bush but Bush removed them in 2006 and put the Realists back in charge, Surely you remember the Iraq Study Group and Realist Bob Gates replacing Rumsfeld? Obama, of course, retained the Realists.

You post mucho cliches with little regard to ideas.

If it is pragmatic for the US to perform no military action to prevent the nuclear threat in Iran, then surely it must be the pragmatic solution NOT to shoot down Israeli jets.

Clear away all the brain dead cliches and what you have is Brezinski taking a hypocritical position.

Cliche?

The NeoCons' entire Iran Strategy subsisted on the cliche, "Axis of Evil"

As for Zbig, he is merely stating what everyone already knows, the US has no more control over Israel than they do over Iran.
