Netanyahu Controls Obama’s Fate (warning: By Dick Morris & Eileen McGann)

[Eid Ma Clack Shaw]

8. Obama COULD have the best chance in decades of...

Redefining the relationship. Imagine they attack and he addresses the nation by saying that despite its close ties with Israel, he WILL NOT send US troops into a new full-scale war without full justification, that he WILL NOT repeat the Republican folly of a war built on lies and SMS city built on body bags. That he would help Israel if they needed help, and that opening Pandora's Box of their own accord doesn't count. That it's a job for Israeli boys, not Americans.

Imagine how that would play.

Could he do that safely, even if he wanted to? I don't know. The GOP have surely rehearsed a response for months and months and I fear that it might really bring out the crazies, too.

I just hope he doesn't get drawn into a drastically premature conflict at the behest of a foreign administration.

Israel deserves to exist peacefully, but there comes a point that it needs to go it alone if it's methods aren't those preferred by the rest of the western world
