Unlike his dear daddy, David Feith is not completely full of sh*t
Young David is the the assistant op-ed editor at the Wall Street Journal. Maybe he’s the guy Dick Landes calls up when he wants to set the record straight on something.
That’s quite a job for a youngster barely out of university, but I’m sure his daddy’s connections in neocon circles have nothing to do with it.
Daddy is of course Douglas Feith, whose egregious pandering to the most extreme right-wing elements in Israeli politics eventually became too much even for the Bush II White House.
David had an interesting article in the Journal the other day, about the efficacy of the US sanctions on Iran. While there is the usual undercurrent of “oh my God we gotta nuke the Towellers before it’s too late” hysteria one expects from Feith senior, David nevertheless provides an insight into how many loopholes the US has built into the “sanctions”.
South Korea, Japan, India and China all have at least partial exemptions. Why any of those countries should have America dictate who they buy oil from in the first place isn’t a question Feith gets into, but at least he’s brought up the question of when are sanctions not really sanctions?
In the case of India, there was a story in the Hindustan Times back in June about meetings Hillary was having with the Indians about their, of all things, nuclear program! (for civilian purposes only, of course!)
So here’s the quid pro quo, folks; we go easy with the sanctions stuff, and they open wide for Westinghouse and General Electric to “participate” in their nuclear program! (for civilian purposes only…)
Sanctions? What sanctions?
