#4 Perhaps the US intelligence and pols had no idea as the depth of knowledge the IDF/Bibi knew about Hamas and Hezbollah. IDF performance is/was impressive.

#6 When I think of war fighters, I dont think of the rainbow flag cult. But apparently there is a Gay Bar Index. When there is a foreign crisis and the gay bars in Dupont Circle, DC are empty, you know the crisis is serious and getting analyzed by the IC. With the Occupancy of Gay Bars in DC as a metric, you have to ask if there's a correlation with the IC being so incompetent.
