Yeah, the script writes itself.

Trump said, we got a deal.

We're negotiating based on their 11-point plan and we have a ceasefire.

And Israel immediately ramped up their slaughter in Lebanon in order to say your ceasefire does not include us.

And Trump said, Israel is forbidden, all capital letters, forbidden from bombing Lebanon anymore.

They just kept bombing them and pay any mind whatsoever.

This is what led Tucker Carlson to say that Trump has evidently somehow been enslaved.

He's enslaved.

To the will of Netanyahu.

How can the ruler of the world superpower be sabotaged and dictated to by the prime minister of some crappy little Maryland-sized state over in the Middle East?

I don't know if anybody knows exactly the mechanism here, but he's in charge, not our guy.

You may be right about the blackmail there, man, because, you know, they had all kind of leverage, all the exact same political leverage on W. Bush and on Barack Obama.

You know, Joe Biden should have let them get away with murder.

I mean, just as much weight as the lobby has, but Obama, Bush and Obama both, and with Robert Gates as their secretary of defense in both cases, they told the Israelis, no.

I mean, Ehud Olmert really pushed in 2007 and Bush goes, no.

This is before the NIE even came out.

Bush told them, forget it, pal.

We're not doing it.

And Robert Gates gave this interview recently where he said, oh, Netanyahu told me all this same stuff in the Obama years.

Oh, it'll be easy.
