Via the Hot air headlines The Weekly standard finds a bombshell hidden in this daily beast story!
How aggressive can Obama be in insisting to the Israelis that a military strike might be in America’s worst interest?
We are not exactly impotent little babies. They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch?What if they fly over anyway?
Well, we have to be serious about denying them that right. That means a denial where you aren’t just saying it. If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a Liberty in reverse. [Israeli jet fighters and torpedo boats attacked the USS Liberty in international waters, off the Sinai Peninsula, during the Six-Day War in 1967. Israel later claimed the ship was the object of friendly fire.]
It’s interesting to note that the Beast fails to mention the subsequent apology and payment of over $12,800,000 in compensation for the dead and wounded and for damage to the ship itself.
Zbigniew Brzezinski I would remind you was Jimmy Carter’s National Security adviser.
In his newly published book The Army Insider. (My review here, Buy It!) Retired Sgt Major David C. Carden says this about the Jimmy Carter years on page 141:
Circa 1977 to 1981. There are more learned people than me that can write about Jimmy Carter’s presidency. I can only say that from day one, the Military started belt tightening; there was a 444 day black mark painted on the United States of America: eight American Servicemen died attempting to wipe away that black mark: and one payback is still owed.
There must have been something good during those years when Zbigniew was national security adviser. Dave?
The best thing that happened for the military Services and America during the Carter administration was that Ronald Reagan was elected the next president of the United states.
I’d have to agree.
Apparently like Buchanan ol Ziggy hasn’t gotten over the Liberty either.
His daughter is still a handsome woman no matter what Robert Stacy McCain says.
