More of the Illogical

Is this referring to the situation vis-a-vis Iran?

...the administration’s options for intervening remain limited by what its officials have described as a simple calculus: It would make the conflict even worse.

No. The reference is to Syria.

So ask yourselves: if this is the situation, or if this is the viewpoint being foisted on Obama via the NYTimes, what can Israel expect in terms of US support?

After all, it's always, relatively, worse after a war. In the sort term. But can Israel expect anything good from Iran, in the sort or long-term?
