Thanks for your patience, faithful readers...

I'm going to be hitting Israel, Plame/Novak, and a few other things here soon, but the office has been pretty demanding this week. I need to catch up with what's going on around the world.

I'm sure everyone sees that the conflict in the middle east is growing by the day and may escalate into a full blown war anyday now. Does that mean a Presidential vacation to Texas is only days away? If you've been disengaged from Israeli diplomacy this long, why start when the bullets are flying, right? I mean, that'd be work (or something like it).
