#3 She may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but she shouldn't be underestimated.

A lot of other people's money is under her control and that money can do a lot of damage.

#5 The idea of injecting an occupation force of Peace-keepers into the sewer/maelstrom that is Gaza is nuts. Someone needs to send this German the American definition of "tar baby"!

Illustration of the Br'er Rabbit and the Tar-Baby. Wikipedia. "Today, the term "tar baby" is interpreted by many as a racial slur, and politicians have gotten in trouble for using it. But in its original context, it was a metaphor for a sticky situation that got worse the more one tangled with it."

Currently there are 11 peacekeeping missions, some dating back to 1949 and 1964, and costing the U.S. $1.1 billion annually, roughly 28% of the annual cost.

"While the number of active missions has hovered around 20 for the past 25 years, the number of deployed personnel has doubled. At the beginning of 1993, the UN deployed roughly 50,000 personnel, compared to 100,000 active peacekeepers in February 2017."
