Merely Tweeted, “Wikileaks – Gitmo Train Wrecks And Blackmailing Israel…” Edition

Highlights, lowlights, links, and how Obama unblinkingly doubled down on anti-Israel foreign policy myths, from the Mere Rhetoric Twitter stream:

Wikileaks Gitmo cables – Amateur hour diplomatic train wrecks in the service of ideologically myopic policy. It’s almost angering.

So without getting too technical, Obama (a) lied, so that (b) he could blackmail Israel on Iran? Is that about right? http://is.gd/i3vcT

The machinations over Obama’s asinine Gitmo policy jump out immediately | RT @nytjim: NYT is publishing Wikileaks http://is.gd/hV8aP

Has anyone calculated how much diplomatic capital Obama burned on misguided Gitmo transfers? No wonder WH can’t get anything else done

How come Sunni Arabs are convinced that Iran says they’ll wipe out Israel? Didn’t they read Juan Cole explaining that it’s a mistranslation?

Left insists that sophistication requires taking Arab demands into account. So why aren’t they advocating “bomb Iran now”?

Wikileaks shows Walt, Marc Lynch, Juan Cole, etc seem to be wrong about Middle East a lot, huh? http://is.gd/hVE8a

US asked diplomats to conduct massive decentralized spying on ally Israel http://is.gd/hV9oS
