Yesterday, everyone's favorite scary uncle brought his omigod we're all gonna to die dog and pony show to the UN. Anyone with a pulse and an internet connection knows that this is far more about influencing an election that is otherwise hopelessly lost. Unless. Unless there is an "October surprise" circa. 1980 when the hapless Carter had his fate sealed by misadventure in, wait for it, Iran.
An Israeli attack in the run-up to the election would leave Obama with no good option. Join in and he is a patsy to the bellicose Bibi. Or take a pass and be seen as a stooge of the Muslim lunatic fringe. The thought that this election might turn on this kind of manipulation is sad beyond words.
So cheer up, have a drink or five and enjoy someone who really did have to worry about a bomb.
