| The Scope of America's World War Drone Posted: 06 Feb 2013 01:20 PM PST The CIA drone program sure feels like a war: unmanned aircraft incinerating thousands of terrorists we're at war with, as well as some civilians. And if you look at the reach of the program — now that everyone seems to be looking at the reach of the program again — well, it's nearly worldwide. American drone strikes haven't led to casualties near what the 20th century's world wars caused, but it covers almost as much geography. A few years into the Iraq war, the Bush administration tried to coin the term Global War on Terror. ... |

| Don't Expect Much From Obama's Trip to Israel Posted: 06 Feb 2013 07:30 AM PST The last time Barack Obama visited Israel, in 2008, was actually the first time he had a run-in with Benjamin Netanyahu. Both men were then only candidates for top office. According to an account given to me at the time by Netanyahu's national security adviser, Uzi Arad, Netanyahu delivered the first of his many lectures to Obama on that trip.
