| Obama's Department of State Issues Absurd Rules for Israel's Conduct of War |
| 2014-08-10 |
| h/t Gates of Vienna In an act that was as fatuous as it was banal, President Barack Obama's Department of State issued guidelines for Israel to follow in the conduct of an existential war that has been raging on its soil since 2005. The constraining guidelines impair Israel's ability to defend itself. Moreover, no nation, including the U.S., has ever conducted a war in this fashion. If Israel would follow the example of America's actual conduct in modern warfare instead of the administration's attempts to placate the Islamic world by tying Israel's hands behind its back, the war in Gaza would have been far more brutal and far more decisive. |

| #6 US Allies in EAST ASIA should also be very worried. The Bammer may have 2-1/2 years left in office but history says thats a'plenty of time left for various OWG Globie MilPol shennanigans-n-brouhahas to still take place. |

| #5 The key to terrorism and the key to guerrilla warfare is support from the indigenous population. When the population gets tired of the damage caused by Hamas and Hamas loses support because of their human shield activities, it is over. So the IDF should just keep on doing what they are doing...eventually, Hamas will lose support. Unfortunately, every time the liberal media shows a picture of a dead child, the donations come pouring in from the useful idiots. |

| #4 WTF? Next, EPA and OSHSA will get involved? Israel should tell these leftards to stuff it. What does the State Dept. know about war? Is Benghazi that long ago? |
