If Netanyahu Is ‘Chickens—t,’ What Does That Make Democrats?
David Harsanyi: “[I]t’s worth noting that the person repeatedly being called ‘chickens—t’ by anonymous officials volunteered for the Israel Defense Forces, saw combat and was the leader of an elite special forces unit deployed on numerous missions — including the freeing of a hijacked Sabena flight in 1972… Granted, this may not be so courageous as hopping the Amtrak from Delaware to D.C. each day or rallying the troops at a fundraiser in Greenwich, Connecticut, but God knows we can’t all be heroes. … [W]hen the United Arab Emirates and Turkey … were justifiably called out by Vice President Joe Biden for their roles in helping to strengthen the Islamic State, Biden was quickly dispatched to ask for forgiveness from both the crown prince of Abu Dhabi and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Apologize to the leader of Turkey. Call the leader of Israel a coward. That about encapsulates American foreign policy during the past few years.”
