There are times when national news seems like high school. You hear a story and you think you can never believe that this is actually in the news as it should be in a gossip column. That is the way you feel when you hear US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta coming out saying that he believes Israel may attack Iran this spring in an attempt to set back the Islamic republic’s nuclear program. This is just crazy on so many levels and one of the reasons this President is dangerous. Panetta is only reacting to story that was already floated in the Washington Post opinion column by David Ignatius. The problem is if this was true why Israel would broadcast that it was going to happen makes no sense. We think the red meat of this story and what makes it no more than high school hall gossip other than Panetta believing there is a strong likelihood that Israel will attack. There is the worm on the hook being the US baited into taking a position in this very hairy situation. This why we say it is one of those times when the national news seems like nothing more than gossip, except instead of hurting feeling lives are at stake.
