Caveat Emptor…
There shall be NO flameout on pure speculation…
So here goes:
Check out Wretchard’s ‘Below the fold’ post in today’s Belmont Club. The most interesting parcel is the speculative trade of Jonathon Pollard for Marwan Barghouti.
Hhhhmmmmm…
- Pollard stating that he will leak stuff very embarrassing to Israel if Rafi Eitan is appointed a minister of the new Israeli government…
- Israel thinking that Marwan Barghouti is a high enough poker hand to play against the leak – i.e. trade a Terror Turd for a Traitor…
Hhhhhhmmmmmmm….
A few very odd things happened in the 1980s.
- Israel flew right through enemy airspace to destroy the Osirak nuclear reactor in Iraq.
- And, the United States traded weapons for cold hard cash in the Iran/Contra affair.
Odd, very odd... Israel plans and executes a mission impossible.
Odd, very odd... President Reagan providing arms to Iran to finance part of the Cold War.
Did Pollard provide Israel with American intelligence on Iraqi/Soviet air defense technology, tactics, and logistics? Was that part acceptable to the United States? Eitan was his spymaster and recruiter. Eitan later had business connections in another Soviet client – Cuba. Eitan has a rather odd history…
Was Barghouti a conduit in the Iran/Contra weapons for cash fiasco? Barghouti routinely finds himself at the center of terror against Jews and Infidels, and then escapes to the periphery. Barghouti has a rather odd history…Pollard will play whatever hand dealt to him – he is in the slammer for life… Barghouti is playing his hand as if he has a wild card in the hole. The real question is why the United States would even sniff at a chance for Barghouti. RealPolitic???
I think Bush will not even consider such a trade. He is playing RealPolitic with the periphery of the GWOT, but not at the schwerpunkte...
