Well, thank goodness our "allies" don't take advantage of a vacuum

How many think the Israeli's decided to make "the rubble bounce" in Gaza until 250 plus were killed because they worried they wouldn't get away with it so easily if Obama was President?

...not that that wouldn't have, but the price is less steep with the detached and disinterested and always quick with an apology for Israel Bush in office.

And like clockwork the Bush Administration sends out officials that act like they are playing "Risk" than actually engaged in diplomacy:

"These people are nothing but thugs, so Israel is going to defend its people against terrorists like Hamas that indiscriminately kill their own people," [National Security Council Spokeflack Gordon] Johndroe said in Texas as President George W. Bush was spending the week before New Year's at his ranch here.

Classy.
