A Method to the Madness

Jorge Hirsch suggests a reason for the strange timing of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's anti-Israel remarks.

Namely, they want to make certain that any U.S. attack on Iran in the near future is seen as being in retaliation for threats against Israel, thereby making it difficult for the U.S. to attack (as it would look to much of the world as if we were simply Israel's lapdogs).

Interesting thesis. And he supports it by showing how restrained the U.S. response to the statement has been.

That is all for now.
