The NYT is reporting:
WASHINGTON, July 21 — The Bush administration is rushing a delivery of precision-guided bombs to Israel, which requested the expedited shipment last week after beginning its air campaign against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, American officials said Friday.
The decision to quickly ship the weapons to Israel was made with relatively little debate within the Bush administration, the officials said. Its disclosure threatens to anger Arab governments and others because of the appearance that the United States is actively aiding the Israeli bombing campaign in a way that could be compared to Iran’s efforts to arm and resupply Hezbollah.
What simpletons. Think about it. The U.S. = Iran, and Israel = Hezbollah. This is the equation in their thinking — and in the thinking of much of the U.S. left.
It’s too bizarre to need rebuttal. It is prima facie absurd.
