Mideast War Camp Pinning Hopes on Tail to Wag Dog, Will Israel Oblige? Will Dog Oblige...........
Israeli newspaper Haaretz also carried this item today. Which means there is some thinking that a war is possible. The small war camp in the Arab world, mainly in the Gulf region, is probably doing extra prayers, vowing to slaughter a few extra sheep, put off marriage to the new fourth wife, do the Umrah again, if only the brethren go ahead and do it, bomb the annoying mullahs to smithereens. If only this tail can manage to wag the dog.
Personally, I doubt it, not that it can’t, but I doubt that it will. The tail won’t start unless certain that the dog will follow; otherwise it will be Lebanon 2006 all over. But I have been wrong before, like on Iraq in 2003. That was another pre-emptive war, all that talk about the mushroom cloud a la Bush and Rice (Condi not Susan). It did, however enrich Halliburton (+KBR), Blackwater, and a few others amenable corporations.
