Yeah, I noticed the hat. They're going to be shocked by their boy Barry. Turns out he's not that liberal after all. He hauled ass running away from the left once he was elected. Based on his appointments so far, he's much more politician than idealist. That means he's going to be friends with Israel.
A bit dramatic, dontcha think, Chris? I hardly think moving a bit toward the center is 'running away from the left'. One need only to look at the campaign he ran to see what sort of politician the guy is. And,
of course he's gonna be friends with Israel- is there an alternative in DC?
As far as what's going on in Gaza right now, it's possible they are using this little conflagration as a tuneup for war with Iran, since that matter of the nuke sites has yet to be settled.

IAF uses new US-supplied smart bomb
The Israel Air Force used a new bunker-buster missile that it received recently from the United States in strikes against Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, The Jerusalem Post learned on Sunday.
The missile, called GBU-39, was developed in recent years by the US as a small-diameter bomb for low-cost, high-precision and low collateral damage strikes.
Israel received approval from Congress to purchase 1,000 units in September and defense officials said on Sunday that the first shipment had arrived earlier this month and was used successfully in penetrating underground Kassam launchers in the Gaza Strip during the heavy aerial bombardment of Hamas infrastructure on Saturday. It was also used in Sunday's bombing of tunnels in Rafah
