Serious news media can find similar disgust with Barak from his calamitous withdrawal of Israeli troops from the security zone in southern Lebanon in May 2000. The largest nationally circulated Israeli paper castigated his signature blend of arrogance and ineptitude. The house of cards that Ehud Barak built for a unilateral withdrawal collapsed all at once. There has been no strategic planning and no diplomatic vision. American media have followed their leftwing Israeli kin by selling Ehud Barak as a great military officer.
Leftists everywhere aspire to bury their nation.
Like serviceable hacks in this nation, Barak has been carefully groomed and promoted for 35 years precisely because of his incompetence and utility to the appeasement crowd. But information, whether in notarized testimony or in hard numbers does not support the outcome-based message of the major media. So like smug pea-brained public school teachers, they ignore it, nod their empty heads and smile their smarmy smiles. That's when future events in the Middle East will be decided.
