And a lot less than others seem to think. Just because Israel wants us to do something and we do it, doesn't mean we do it at their behest. Bush was going to war in Iraq whether Israel wanted it or not.

As if the Israelis could possibly have not wanted it. The proposition is absurd.
We destroyed their enemy for them, fractured Iraq & set them back a generation, maybe longer. We're doing the same in Syria & Libya. Jordan & Egypt were co-opted long ago, as is the KSA. Lebanon sure as Hell is no kind of existential threat.

You didn't read what I wrote. I guess I need to quote myself.

Do you understand the meaning of what I wrote? I didn't challenge whether they wanted it or not. They publicly said they did. I challenged the notion that we did it because they wanted us to. It's an important distinction. Lots of countries want us to do or not do certain things. What matters is if we're doing things at the behest of foreign governments instead of for our own reasons. Bush made the decision to attack Iraq very quickly after 911. He wanted to retaliate for 911 in a big way and he also had daddy issues. We were going to war there regardless of Israel's position on the matter. Just like we were going to war there regardless of what the actual intel said about WMD's. This decision was pre-determined in advance of Israel's urgings. In advance of everything.
About laughed my balls off watching the CBS news tonight and the UK, Isreali and our UN ambassador going on about how Iran is a destabilizing entity in the ME. It is like we have arrived on bizzaro world where all the nation destroying these three countries have done never happened.
Appearance-wise, it all depends on whose hand is working Trump's sock puppet face. At the moment it's Putin's hand in there working Trump's lips. And both of them are drooling at the billions they can score from that unholy tryst they're having.
And don't mind me, my sarcaz meter works like a boy scout compass sitting on top of an oscillating neodymium magnet.
