Martin Kramer quotes Juan Cole:
'The Israelis tend to launch their wars of choice in the summer, in part because they know that European and American universities will be the primary nodes of popular opposition, and the universities are out in the summer. This war has nothing to do with captured Israeli soldiers." --Juan Cole at his blog, Informed Comment, July 23, 2006.
Narcissism almost beyond satire, but Kramer finds a way, using the newly released Winograd Commission Report as a launching pad.

I thought this was hilarious.
Of course some folks will probably think this is the real report and publish it widely, saying, "See? We told you so!"
Amazing that a scholar of Juan Cole's caliber didn't cite a source. Must have been an oversight on his part.
"Israel's wars of choice"...
Unless my teachers taught me wrong, Israel's only "wars of choice", would've been in 1982, no?
Juan, teach Summer school.
If Juan were a lawyer, his logic and powers of persuasion would result in all of his clients being found guilty.
