An excellent pick to highlight. But in a way even more worrisome was the material at the front end, which showed this Administration has no understanding of the role of the civil service in our democracy.
Israel will not strike Iran before striking at Hizbollah in Lebanon. Israel views Hizbollah as an arm of the Iranian military, and before attacking Iran itself, Israel will launch on assault on Hizbollah designed to degrade Hizbollah's military capacity just enough to make "tolerable" whatever strike Hizbollah launches in response to the Israeli attack on Iran. For that reason, one should watch developments in Lebanon with great care. When Israel moves towards an attack on Hizbollah, one should assume that an attack on Iran is not far behind. But until the Israelis move against Hizbollah, they will not attack Iran.
