[Oren] then went on to suggest that, now more than ever, the US may need the relationship - even its dispensing of dollars - more than Israel does. Oren reminded the crowd that by long-standing, tacit agreement Israel turns right around and spends most of the two billion in the "company store", i.e. in the US arms industry, thereby keeping Americans who work at places like Lockheed in jobs. He pointed out that the US economy was floundering while Israel's was smoking, that Israel had even recently stepped in to buy large blocks of dollars in an effort to prop up the currency so that American tourists could keep buying trinkets at the Dead Sea, and that the US, having decimated its own security services, was heavily dependent on foreign intelligence services like the Mossad.

Obama's determination to detonate the US-Israel alliance is already having a chilling effect on US-Israeli military ties. It's only a matter of time before the mutual distrust spreads into the intelligence community. It shouldn't be a problem though: I'm sure Obama's new-found popularity in Syria will forge the kind of long-lasting regional cooperation that makes up the shortfall.

After all, we're going to peel Syria out of Iran's orbit.
