Operation Orchard

Q: Sir, Israeli opposition leader Netanyahu has now spoken openly about Israel's bombing raid on a target in Syria earlier in the month. I wonder if you could tell us what the target was, whether you supported this bombing raid, and what do you think it does to change the dynamic in an already hot region in terms of Syria and Iran and the dispute with Israel and whether the U.S. could be drawn into any of this?

THE PRESIDENT: I'm not going to comment on the matter. Would you like another question?

Q: Did you support it?

THE PRESIDENT: I'm not going to comment on the matter.

Q: Can you comment about your concerns that come out of it at all, about for the region?

THE PRESIDENT: No. Saying I'm not going to comment on the matter means I'm not going to comment on the matter. You're welcome to ask another question, if you'd like to, on a different subject. . . .

Fortunately, the Observer has helpfully lifted the veil behind the Decider's stonewalling. A story that deserves everyone's close attention, one poorly reported so far by mainstream North American media.
