National security is not as important as reelection.
Nothing is as important as reelection.
I think Obama is taking credit for Israel's operation and Israel is not going to comment.
I think you hit the nail right on the head. I used to have breakfast with some homocide cops in Philly during the period when the mobsters were shooting one another. One of them told me some REAL facts about one of the cases. It was not anything like what the news was printing, not at all. I asked him why they didn’t straighten the news people out. He said they loved it when the news people made stuff up. It made it easy to find a jury that was not adulterated.
We had George Anastasia doing articles on the mob. The mod was elated, since then the public did not know what was really going on.
I think you are right and Israel is sitting quiet and letting goofus claim the credit.
