Wikileaks Proves It

"To the extent there are gaps in our laws," Holder continued, "we will move to close those gaps…"

Where I used to work, the mistake my company (armored cash transport) consistently made was that every time somebody did (stole or lost) something, they issued new rules that applied to everybody. The rulebook got to be so unwieldy that it ended up with nobody following any rules. What we should have done is hold the bad eggs responsible, punish them, and set an example.

In this case, the new rules will be designed to tighten the weave of the net to catch more people doing what the government determines as 'bad'.

The truth is, that as far as our foreign policy is concerned, there is no coordination in Washington. The various foreign policy arms continue to operate without leadership. Obama has likely told each one of his foreign policy czars to continue just as before, and indicated that he has no personal interest in any foreign policy matter (aside from Muslim outreach). As a result, these departments are now in disarray and nobody knows precisely what they are supposed to be doing.

While it is true that nothing new has been revealed (by Wikileaks) that those paying attention do not already know, it is equally true that there is no single rational objective as far as our foreign policy is concerned. (Emphasis on ‘rational’.) The administration continues to rhetorically pound the view that Israel is to blame for all the trouble in the Middle East. The leaks present a different, far more complex picture.

What are we to glean from this? Who is to be believed? The administration that seeks to demonize Israel (and America) at every turn? or operations who monitor the situation daily? The silver ball comes to rest on red. Power is the only player, no matter what the facts. Obama has the power. He does not like Israel. Politically he can do very little directly to cause Israel harm. But by letting the clock run down, keeping the pressure off (or putting it on), he can wrap layer upon layer of deceit around the issue and keep Israel hanging until it makes a mistake.

Every one of our allies has been made to walk a tightrope while America’s enemies realize more and more that they’re standing on solid ground. Wikileaks all but proves it.
