I was saddened to listen to your testimony against the beat them over the head policy approach of some of the others at the hearing. Do you predict a war with Israel provoking another incident as they did in Gaza? If so, would it be to preempt a second front should Israel decide to attack Iran?
listened to your testimony and feel slightly better knowing your analysis found its space next to AEI & co. in that forum
