Sometimes, what DOESN'T happen can be just as sigificant (or moreso) as what DOES happen.
I refer to Richard Perle's speech where he stated that France is no longer an ally." In my comment, I had indicated that the State Department had yet to be heard from, and that silence could be considered agreement with Mr. Perle.
Two days have passed, and there's not been a word from State to modify, soften, or distance the USA from Perle's speech. Even Pravda has had time to evaluate the speech and comment upon it.
Like Sherlock Holmes' famous observation about what "The Hounds of the Baskervilles" did in the nighttime (Watson: "The Dogs did nothing in the nighttime." Holmes: "THAT was the curious incident."), I take the silence of State as significant.
I may be wrong and they may have said something. Anybody else heard anything from State about this? |
