What that Heritage Foundation guy writes is very uniformative, to say the least. I don't think it's even criticism, its so hard to understand.

Does he really think anyone will find it worthwhile to try to rebut his strange argument that Obama is turning the military into a ponzi scheme? That's an idea, as they say, that's "not even wrong".

Why so they keep him on that site? Experts capable of good criticism shouldn't be that hard to find.

“I wouldn’t discount the possibility that the Israelis would act if they came to the conclusion that basically the world was prepared to live with Iran with nuclear weapons,” he said. “They certainly have the capability by themselves to set back the Iranian nuclear program.”

Ross stressed he believes there is still time for diplomacy to work, as the financial pain of sanctions may yet persuade Iran to abandon its suspected nuclear weapons program.

“Force is not inevitable,” he said. “Diplomacy is still the desired means. Pressure is an element of the means.”

Ross's time has passed. His utterances now are clearly in the interest of his true homeland. pl
