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<\/a> 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.  <\/p>\n

“”Hezbollah is a very interesting organization,” Brennan told a Washington conference<\/span>, citing its evolution from “purely a terrorist organization” to a militia to an organization that now has members within the parliament and the cabinet.<\/em><\/p>\n
