Palestina - Israël

Hamas was as much an 'asset' as Saddam Hussein was for George Bush. Remember when Donald Rumsfeld said "he may be a bastard but he's our bastard"? Until he wasn't anymore.

The CIA has long been in the business of propping up regime change or supporting resistance movements such as the mujahideen against the Soviets in Afghanistan, later known as Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Those, too were 'our bastards'. Until they weren't anymore.

Hamas served the same role for Israel. For the longest time, Hamas served as Israel's 'bastards'. Until they weren't anymore. This phenomenon is known as 'blowback' in intelligence circles and it's nothing new. Eventually that snake will turn around on itself and bite you in the ass.

He criticizes the use of “Gish Galloping” in the Gaza debate. He accuses some of throwing distractions, lies, and half-truths to divert attention from the real issues.

Gish Galloping is a debating technique where one side uses a series of distractions, lies, and half-truths to confuse the opponent and divert attention from the real issues.
