Stevenson’s army, October 9

Of the many commentaries about the conflict, these so far stood out to me:

Tom Friedman in NYT

David Ignatius in WaPo

Reuters report on Hamas deceptions

Although Iran denies it and the US can’t confirm it, Hamas bragged to WSJ that Iran had helped plot the Gaza attacks.

In other news, the House Appropriations chairman says the cuts promised by McCarthy are off the table now that he has been deposed.

And note the strength of AfD in the German elections.

Better late than never,I wanted to note that USGLC put out a good comparison of House & Senate versions of the State-Foreign Ops bill.
