Pat's bottom line is for the U.S. to withdraw support for Israel, which is not going to happen.
I don't think that it Pat's line at all. If you read with improved comprehension, Pat is saying that we have no business fighting Israel's wars. That is different than saying "end support." Many of us feel no reason to NOT support Israel, as we would any other friendly democratic nation. But it's a hell of a stretch from that support to fighting another country's battles, which is what the neocons here are clearly demanding from Bush -- or else. Nice guys. Why are THEY so obsessed with Israel?
Uh, the battle came to our shores on Sept. 11. We're trying to get Israel to kiss and make up with that rat Arafat.
