I read interviews like this and I find myself surprised. Surprised to hear that anyone doubts that Israel told us what they were going to do before they did it.

I totally believe some faction in the federal government approved this plan. No doubt the same bunch o'random crazies who thought "taking" Iraq would be a matter of a few weeks of tidy shelling and then a short, photogenic interval of fending off the love-crazed locals.

(Sorry to get all political.)
