The Bombshell

They say timing is everything.

David Rose’s timing with this piece in Vanity Fair – timed to coincide with Condoleezza Rice’s visit to these parts – is pretty darned good, all things considered.

Rose writes about a Bush/Rice/Elliot Abrams plan to bolster the “moderate” Fatah in Gaza that backfired and strengthened Hamas instead leading us to the rather unpleasant place in which we find ourselves today.

Head over. Good stuff.

    2. If you were to only read AP and Reuters reports on this situation, you would think that Israel is the bad guy – killing poor, innocent civilians – when in fact Hamas is using donkey carts to transport bombs and now using ambulances to cross international borders with weapons. Can you imagine the propaganda if Israel were to shoot one of these ambulances even if it is being used as a weapon of war?

    Perhaps Secretary Rice should be fully briefed before putting any pressure on Israel’s right to defend itself.
