It’s interesting to look back and see how old news reveals the rest of the story. Back on June 29, I posted a story entitled “White House Gives Israel the Go Ahead.” It was all about the administration saying how it was now okay for Israel to defend itself, with references to Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The significant thing is the change in the US position. A signal? Now, just a few weeks later, it’s playing out in Lebanon and the administration is sticking by that philosophy in a game of much higher stakes.
Reading actions, the direction of our strategies is plain. That our administration thinks it is justifiable to provoke a fight for higher purposes defines a phlosophy that could never be explained by plain talk to the American People. Reading talk, you’d get an entirely different picture designed to appeal to the moral fiber of our population.
Question is, where do you stand? And why?
