If you ever had any doubts that the Obama Administration supported Israel at all, they are about to be shattered. Andy McCarthy at The Corner at National Review On Line reports on a Reuters story stating that the President's national security team is looking for Hezbollah moderates in Lebanon that they can support in order to weaken the influence of the hard liners in the organization.
According to Reuters (via National Review):
""Hezbollah is a very interesting organization," Brennan told a Washington conference, citing its evolution from "purely a terrorist organization" to a militia to an organization that now has members within the parliament and the cabinet.
"There is certainly the elements of Hezbollah that are truly a concern to us what they're doing. And what we need to do is to find ways to diminish their influence within the organization and to try to build up the more moderate elements," Brennan said."
The wisdom involved in this outreach is akin to the wisdom that says I can go into the lion's cage and pet the lion because he is such a beautiful animal. These people have no idea what they are dealing with. Mr. McCarthy also points out that the United States considers Hezbollah a "foreign terrorist organization". Why are we trying to befriend terrorists?
