George Bush yesterday committed the US to the defence of Israel against threats from Iran, saying he would not allow the world to be "blackmailed" by an Iranian nuclear weapon.
And now we are committed to protecting Israel in the event of a military exchange with Iran. I assume this means that even if Israel fires the first volley that we will be honor bound to rush to their defense. So essentially Israel gets to start the next great battle.
I wonder if our famously media resistant president has bothered to check out the article by Robert Burns. If he did bother to read the article he may come to realize that he is out of ammo. You cannot start a gun fight if your gun is broken.
I am all for defending our Jewish brethren. However if it is up to us to protect them in the event of a military conflict with another country then we should get to decide whether they start that fight or not.
It seems to me (here let me get my tinfoil hat on right) that this is just a way to circumvent Congress, which is very unlikely to allow Bush to invade another country, by having another country do the invading and us just riding to their rescue all innocent like.
"What? I had no idea that the Israelis were gonna go and attack Iran! Well we can't let our friends be defeated now can we?"
By the way, long time readers may remember that I already wrote about this on the 21st of this month, just goes to show that Nostradamus ain't got nothing on me! I wanted to be wrong, why can't I be wrong?
