The Hawks' Last Hurrah? "Washington hawks warn Israeli policymakers that they could be on their own on Iran"

Laura Rosen in MoJo, here
There was perhaps no better vantage point from which to chronicle the twilight months of the Bush administration and its national security policy than the Israeli resort town of Herzliya, ...... the event, dubbed "Israel at Sixty: Tests of Endurance," were a host of prominent Washington hawks, among them, former United States ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton, neoconservative and former Rudy Giuliani advisor Norman "World War IV" Podhoretz, Vice President Dick Cheney's national security advisor Samantha Ravich, and former Middle East advisor David Wurmser........."Everyone was so concerned with the Winograd report," said one American Herzliya attendee who closely follows Israel and who asked not to be named. "Olmert was on the defensive, so was Barak."
