    The fundamental element of military strategy is indirection, or surprise. I can’t imagine how, after years of public discussion of this issue, Luke Schwartzwalker is going to swoop in and take out the Iranian Death Star. Not when the Iranians have had years to plan for the contingency.

    If Bibi and Barak want to go full fledged crazy they can do it all full fledged completely on their own, completely alone, as an American I refuse to be dragged into this insane Israeli apocalyptic military adventure.
