The priorities of some liberals is truly the stuff of parody.
Responding to rocket attacks launched by the savages of Hamas, Israel has conducted a massive military response. Good for Israel.
Meanwhile, in a story titled “Conflict upends Obama’s plans,” Ben Smith and Harry Siegel at Politico.com respond to the event thusly:
Israel’s continuing attacks on Gaza serve as a reminder that President-elect Barack Obama and his nominee to be secretary of state, Hillary Rodham Clinton, will not get to choose the world they inherit Jan. 20.
As opposed to all those other Presidents who did get to choose the world they inherited?
The incoming administration had planned to focus on the economic crisis and recalibrating U.S. policy in Iraq and Afghanistan in its early months — but the Israeli assault on Hamas may have instantly changed that calculus.
Uh, George W. Bush was expected to juggle the war on terror and economic concerns. You know, like after 9/11/01. Do you remember 9/11/01? Presidents are expected to devote their efforts to multiple problems, issues, or concerns.
“For all the talk of putting the [Middle East] conflict on the back burner, it’s going force itself onto the front burner,” said Daniel Levy, a fellow at the New America Foundation. Levy said that if the conflict in Gaza is still ongoing when Obama takes office, he will face regional and international pressure to broker a settlement.
When will people finally understand that the Muslims conducting these attacks DO NOT WANT a “settlement” ?
Obama’s views on the Israeli action remain opaque. Even as the attack continued into its third day Monday, with a Palestinian death toll topping 300 and Israel threatening a ground invasion, Obama had yet to say a word about the crisis, on the grounds that President George W. Bush (who has also been silent) must take the lead.
Of course, of course. Obama will take the microphone and stand before the camera when he’s making appointments to his cabinet. As for the dirty work, George W. Bush is still President!
