Re: Israel and Turkey: no love lost (4.00 / 6)

Ah, but Turkey has the ability to really mess with the partial US withdrawal from Iraq strategy, and the partial withdrawal from Iraq is where the troops are coming from for ramping up the lost quagmire in Afghanistan.

So this can boil down to a show-down between the Military-Industrial-Congressional complex and the Likud Lobby.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Well, yeah ... I'd not expect the point to be well understood if the understanding required imagination only ... the American body politic seems like it can only barely learn from experience as it is.

And there was much disappointment at the generals "shirking their responsibility".

Wait this is important. Someone is wrong on the Internet.
