You`re right. However, it may be That the IDF is playing Blackwater to the PA security forces.
In Iraq, every Blackwater incident undoes a few months of US Armed Forces counterinsurgency efforts. This prolongs the US presence in Iraq and hampers political settlement of the issues there.
Maybe once Bush arrives, he and Gen. Jones can get some cooperation and coordination between IDF and PA efforts or get IDF raids limited to areas not under PA counterinsurgency efforts. In Iraq, restricting Blackwater and the other mercenary armies has accelerated the positive effects of US-Iraqi cooperation. |
