Alexander Cockburn argues that recent comments by both in the Middle East and surrounding area are part of deliberate “Israel hawk” stances. But, at the same time, Cockburn argues, after talking about the “disorganized” Obama administration, that “The One” is himself a closet Israel hawk.

I do think recent comments by both Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on foreign policy in the Middle East have been wrong; I’m not sure about their deliberateness. As for Obama being a “tool” based on sources of campaign contributions or the background of his chief of staff, this is why you have to take him with a grain of salt at times.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
