The Syrian target of the Israeli jets may have been a nuclear facility, and reportedly the U.S. pressured Israel for a delay. Why? Maybe the U.S. wasn't ready to demonstrate the ability to slip in and out undetected. Here's speculation at: Washington Monthly.
But I have to wonder how much politics played in the U.S. position. There has been no end to the criticism by the Democrat Presidential candidates of Mr. Bush and everything he does. It's such a knee jerk response that many of us don't take them seriously any more. But just think for a moment. What kind of reaction would there have been, domestically and internationally, if the U.S. had been responsible for that attack on the Syrian facility?
The main steam media would go berserk. Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann would scream themselves hoarse. But it was almost a nonevent. So thank you Israel. Thanks not only for sparing us from the Syrian threat, but also from the msm assault on our senses.
