On Wednesday, there was an explosion in the city of Latakia,
Syria that reportedly destroyed missile weaponry destined for the Hezbollah.
Accidents and explosions are an inherent high risk when transporting or storing
these types of munitions. As of yet there is no determination of what may have caused this damage. The Syrian government is in charge of the investigation.
Now isn’t that top paragraph an appropriate way to describe
what happened to munitions that were headed to a terrorist organization? Everybody
has plausible deniability on the subject and therefore no one is required to do
anything. Nothing to see here folks. Everybody just move along.
If we had adults in charge of the White House this is how it
would have been handled. But instead of responsible adults we have the Obama
administration. This administration is up to its’ incompetent eyeballs in the
Obamacare debacle and if some other distraction popped up to take the news
cycle of it then so much the better. Israel or anything having to do with foreign policy is always
a good distraction because we can be assured of ineptness.
Why else would an ally be pointed out as the actor in the
destruction of weapons that were destined to be aimed at their homeland? Not
only that, but the remnants of the Syrian Assad regime may have to officially
take notice of the incident. Assad is beset with a number of violent groups and
if Israel is proved to be involved, it could very well coalesce the different
groups into a coordinated enemy. And the last thing Assad needs is to strike
back at Israel and possibly have to absorb the retaliation that Israel would
exact.
I would expect the administration to send out the stooges
for the Sunday news programs to discuss the latest Israeli flap. It is easier
to rope-a-dope foreign policy than domestic policy where this administration is
supposed to on top of their game.
