Zero Hedge has an memo published by VIPS (Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity) to the President detailing the dire situation that is manifesting in the Middle East. The memo is extremely long, but a worth while read.
If you have been following the non-USA news lately, you would know that Lebanon and Israeli tensions hit another flash point this week and border skirmishes have kicked off yet again. It is apparent that Israel is staring to feel they are backed into a corner, with no where to go, along with an American administration that will probably do nothing to support them, unless forced. Israel knows how to play the fiddle and force America into support, despite the US's apprehensions, or so the memo explains.
The memo is too detailed to really summarize here with my lack of concrete understanding on Middle Eastern politics but it is simple enough for the laymen to get a good idea of where we are headed. The main factor to take home is that Israel seems to want regime change in Iran and they are less concerned with nuclear weapons as they are the body politic of the Iranian leadership. As you will read, this "baiting" strategy is familiar to the world, circa 2003. Go figure, another intelligence piece that wants to advert another war of preemption which seems to be the modern norm.
So, I'll pose the question to my readership; With hindsight always being 20-20 and the philosophical fight between good and evil always a metaphysical relevant, if you were President, what would you do?
