      Sanger misses what Romney actually said vis-a-vis daylight with Israel: not that there mustn't be any, but that the world mustn't see it -- a statement that is much more sensible, subtle and pointed. Neither Charlie nor Haas points out the error.

      We can only hope the bombings start sooner as opposed to later- on Israel and Iran. Nothing like a lttle war to get a new presidency off on the right foot.

      As usual Sanger gets the point. It is not as if everyone in Israel agrees with Netanyahu's stance, even among the former security apparatus. And speaking of conditionality, Israel, since the end of WWII, has been the largest recipient of American foreign aid, if you don't count what we spent in Vietnam and Korea, to the tune of about $104 billion. I'm sure this president has used it. I have no idea what Romney could do to further spook Iran, but I think it's more likely, like Reagan, he'd do a deal than invade them. I expect, however, the Dems, in their usual way, to try and make a Goldwater moment out of this. I really think tho our Middle East foreign policy has been and remains a matter of oil, and that it's nearly everyone else's as well.
