Spain and Britain to review military sales to Israel - it's getting harder and harder to resist the feeling that the entire Western world is at this point in history governed by fools - this shaming especially rich coming from England who gave us Bomber Harris and his deliberate targeting of civilians in WWII, a strategy that Eisenhower did not agree with. And then you get Obama's America hating gnome Valerie Jarrett throwing in her brilliant insight that Israel's security needs do not justify the killing of civilians - that's some real fancy thinkin' there - aside from Hagel, is there anyone in the Obama administration that has read a single book on military strategy, practice and history? If there is, Obama clearly doesn't listen to them. Was it in Gates' memoir that he mentioned Obama displaying something resembling contempt for the opinions of the military when it came to foreign policy questions? I don't remember - somebody said it - regardless, who doubts that it's true?
It's getting difficult to know what to say anymore - ya just watch this mess with a sense of dread crawling up your back knowing that something bad is coming and the West is too compromised by the musings of fools to do a damn thing about it.
[as a sidebar to this sense of doom - see what irreprehensible bile and hate and irrational, unhinged bellicosity Erdogan is spewing at Israel now - almost as disgusting as the explicit or implied condemnation of Israel by the West is the failure of anyone to criticise Erdogan's extremist ranting - does anyone in NATO have the balls or at least common sense to stand up and censure this man? Why at this point is Turkey even a member of NATO - and why the hell do we still intend on selling them F-35s? Any country or person who speaks about Israel this way absolutely cannot be trusted to protect the interests of America - to quote Casey Stengel with depressing aptness: can't anybody here play this game?]
