Blame rests on the Democrats entirely.
Their irrational opposition to missile defense

What?

We stationed batteries of missile defense weapons ALL over Israel before, during and after the Desert Storm war.

Who do you think help develop the Iron Dome that protects Israel?

I am not saying that our troops did not have missile defense capabilities but if they did not, why the hell not. It is not the lack of them being available.

I don't know if I can buy this story or not.

Bravo! Your analysis is correct.

But some blame lies with American non-voters who fail to vote those Democrats out of office.
