It is undeniable that both the US and Israel failed to foresee the horrific Hamas attack. But what now? Any plans to evacuate US citizens who want to leave? A US government spokesman says that Ben Gurion Airport is open. Thanks a lot! But try to book a flight.
We all drop the ball from time to time. But at least some of us try to pick it up again, while other just sit there, claiming that dropping it was a brilliant move. This is s pitiful excuse for a foreign policy and a military policy. Biden must have taken lessons from Hillary. Remember her forceful moves to rescue the 4 Americans, including our ambassador, from Benghazi? Oh wait. There weren’t any. As Yogi Berra would say, it’s déjà vu all over again.
Proponents of this passive, submissive excuse for a foreign policy should have listened to Maya Angelou: “I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.” At least 27 Americans dead and many taken hostage: Time to throw something back?
