Controlled burn

The WaPo has a front page story revealing Israeli/US "information sharing" ahead of the Syria airstrike.

As tight as this has been held by the Israeli government, I find it hard to believe that this level of detail was known outside the US's central core.

Reading this, I have a feeling this story is an authorized leak to try and keep this story from running out of control. Don't ask me why. It's just a feeling.

(Isn't Syria where Saddam's WMD went?)

  • It's all in what Bolton says. He is the mouthpiece.

  • Yeah. Did you watch that unbelievable interview on Australian TV I linked the other day?

    I guess as a non-official, he can make unbacked claims that officials can't.

  • "....Bolton added that any Iranian strike would involve a "limited" airstrike on uranium enrichment targets rather than an invasion like Iraq."

    Sure it would. Until the Iranians sink a US warship.

  • And, limited also includes all facilities that could be dangerous, air defense facilities, airports, command and control, bunkers.....

  • Do you think they get a laugh over at AEI when they write this stuff?

  • No, I don't. I think they believe that they're the only ones who are right and do this stuff in a crusade to "save the country."

    My belief is that they see the manipulation and lying as part of that crusade.

  • Yep, serious stuff. I guess the latest round of tough talk and accusations is designed to coincide with more UN sanctions against Iran. It's getting close to crunch time.

  • Anon, who says they even have to sink one. Remember the Gulf of Tonkin?
