OOOOPS, my bad
Looking more and more as if I may have spoken WAY too soon with my threat/promise in the Eyrie post that it would probably be the one and only post I do on the Hamas/Israel thang.
“Palestine is not Ukraine. If America intervenes directly, all American locations in the region will become legitimate targets of the resistance axis and will face our attacks. And on this day there will be no red line left.” —Hezbollah Official Statement
Uh HUH. Now tell me again, “race realists,” all about how the Muzzrats are “our natural allies,” much to be preferred over our false friends, Dem Pesky, Scheming, Hook-Nosed ((((JOOOOOZ!!!)))), why don’tcha. That one’s my favorite.
So, it came as a big surprise when southern Israel was overrun by Hamas dudes in tricked-out pickup trucks and para-gliders on Saturday, who carried home hundreds of nubile young women to have sport with, after slaughtering hundreds more people of all ages, like rampaging bronze age Philistines. That fresh enormity is, shall we say, quite a ways from resolution at this time. I’ll tell you what will be an even bigger surprise, though: when some organized unit of those aforesaid mutts of unknown origin who snuck across our border sets off something like a dirty bomb in New York, Los Angeles, or Washington DC. Or takes over a nuclear power station. Or…well, I wouldn’t want to put any ideas in a bad actor’s head. But you get the picture, I’m sure.
So, we’re in something that smells like uncharted territory this autumn Monday, and events are galloping faster than anyone can process. The scene looks a little bit like World War Three. At least any child of twelve could game it out that way in three easy steps. Say, the chief mullah in Teheran issues some crude remark about how Israel had it coming, yadda yadda…and the IDF forthwith fires a cruise missile up his qabaa…and next thing you know, so many mushroom clouds rise over the Levant that it looks like a shitake farm.
All this while the USA struggles to restore its political mental health after years of domestic abuse at the hands of our own government. A big question here is what kind of correction will it require to straighten out that abusive government…or can anything at all avail before having to shred the whole goshdarn operation and start over? Quien sabe? (As they say in Plattsburgh nowadays.)
Ahh, but therein lies the rub, you see: Real Americans have enemies aplenty to deal with right here at home—up to and including who knows how many jihadi sleeper agents ushered across our former southern border, then quietly swept off to Undisclosed Locations by our own FederalGovCo—before we can even consider coming to Israel’s rescue.
Inline update! The remainder of this post below the fold, because length.
