Andrew Sullivan: Use Military Against Israel
Andrew Sullivan, who continues to build on his journey away from moderate conservatism and into the welcoming arms of the extreme left, has added another key piece of that transformation — anti-Israel hostility. Sullivan, who in addition to being completely obsessed with hating Sarah Palin was a prominent anti-war voice during the Bush administration, seems to have found a military cause he can endorse — containing Israel and providing a shield for Hamas, behind which they could safely launch a continuing rain of missiles on to Israeli civilians:
My own view is moving toward supporting a direct American military imposition of a two-state solution, with NATO troops on the borders of the new states of Palestine and Israel. I’m sick of having a great power like the US being dictated to in the conduct of its own foreign policy by an ally that provides almost no real benefit to the US, and more and more costs.
Of course, Sullivan is wily enough to throw in a pro forma condemnation of Hamas too…
