John is technically correct to suggest that, by haranguing Israel and downplaying his support for the war, Biden is forfeiting the right to trumpet his victory when Israel wins. What John forgets, though, is Biden’s and the media’s way of operating. Israel will win, Hamas will be destroyed, and Biden will take full credit for the victory and for limiting civilian casualties, which, he will say, would have been much worse without his intervention. And his stenographers at the WaPo and NYT will go right along with that, and the WH pressure on Bibi will be forgotten.
