Israel does not determine our foreign policy unless you believe that the tail wags the dog.

Frankly it is the PR Israel is publishing that says these strikes are against weapons set to be delivered to Hezbollah. They could simply taking advantage of the situation in an effort to depose of Assad. We need more concrete evidence before being sucked into still another war in the Middle East. Remember that Boston was pushback against our earlier invasions in that area. McCain is a tired old man saying foolish things.
