This Could Get Interesting

Read in Michael J. Totten's blog:

"Saad Hariri's newspaper in Lebanon says the Turkish prime minister is thinking of running the blockade of Gaza himself."

  1. It reminded me of Martin Kramer's alert yesterday in Facebook:
    "Mark Regev, Israeli spokesman, is interrogated by pompous blowhard Jon Snow. At 4:45, Snow asks what Israel will do if the Rachel Corrie, another blockade-runner, is accompanied by a Turkish warship. 'I don't think this is serious,' says Regev, amused. Snow, shouting and indignant: 'This could result in major warfare!'... Regev almost bursts out laughing. Snow later admitted he was wrong about the warship. Idiot." (Below the video of the interview)

  3. Then: If it were true...
  4. Then: You idiot!
