Fox News national security analyst KT McFarland questioned the Obama administration’s commitment to keeping peace in the Middle East, especially as Israel and Iran appear poised for war.
“Where is the administration?” McFarland asked Fox News’ Bill Hemmer. “Are they a strong supporter of Israel? They talk about it, but they don’t act like it. They tell Iran no nuclear weapons, but what are they going to do to stop Iran? I think all these things are coming together in one place.”
McFarland: Obama AWOL as Israel, Iran prepare for war - BizPac Review
Can "keeping the peace" be defined as paving the way for war?
At first blush, it seems odd that conservatives (particularly social conservatives) want the US to be Israel's hand puppet when it comes to war. But when one stops to consider that they're chomping at the bit to usher in Armageddon (and hence, the Second Coming of the Lord), maybe it's not so odd after all. I think that's all the more reason to proceed with caution in order to pursue America's best self-interest, and not the primary self interest of Israel and/or the religious extremists from several countries.
