Disproportionately Stupid

Israel has to retaliate in some significant fashion. I hope it damages the regime in every conceivable way. However, that isn’t how our mentally impaired president sees it. He means to vindicate the 10-year old judgment of his former Obama administration colleague Robert Gates that Biden is a moron.

Speaking to reporters in Washington, Biden advised Israel to respond “proportionally” to the attack. Asked whether he backs a strike on Iranian nuclear sites, Biden responded: “The answer is no.” Israel is to wait for the day when the Iranian regime can place nuclear explosives on those ballistic missiles.

You don't deter through proportionality. That only extends conflicts. You deter through disproportionality, a concept the Iranians certainly understood by firing off 180 ballistic missiles at Israel this week. 

The Israelis understand it now too, though. That's why they're destroying both Hamas and Hezbollah ... and then likely will turn their attention to the theocratic clique in Tehran, which is the real threat to Israel.
