Well, to be fair to Bill I don't think what we're seeing today is in same context he was talking about...
Iran has been helping terrorists strike Israel for some time, this is nothing all that new. And I'd love to see some independent analysis of the situation to ensure Israel isn't looking for their own "Gulf of Tonkin" incident...that story didn't seem to have the legs it appeared to on first glance.
The big looser in all of this is Lebanon, they have been making great strides towards Democracy and normalization with the West and this is really going to set things back.
What Israel is asking for, the Lebanese Government simply can't deliver on...and they know it.
This would be a great opportunity for the World to back the Lebanese PM and push off Syrian and Iranian interests.
I wonder if any of the Beriut Starbucks have been hit?
