#1 "The situation, from our perspective, is very difficult and requires careful, thoughtful responses from all concerned," she (Hillary) said.

What's so difficult. What do we get from the Turks? Tell them to FOAD.

#2 As far as the the Security Council is concerned, I disagree with the article.

The Security Council issued a "Presidential Statement" which requires unanimity, a resolution cannot be passed against a US veto.

If Obama had so desired he could have forced the council to stay silent on this matter, just like China did wrt North Korea.

The Obama administration joined the international community (spit!) in singling out Israel at the NPT conference. This is the action that speaks loudest.

The real issue is Iranian nukes, not Gaza or Lebanon per se.

#7 There's a revolt growing among Jewish donors and in Congress, so Bambi switched message. That and his advisors have probably let him know just how close to war we got this week. And may still be .....
