Mr.Hannity, unfortunately, parses everything he says to include only those snippets that conform to his narrow view. There is a book "The Logic of Failure" (non political) that examines decision making. It concludes that only two types of people make decisions; those with very limited information (thus not muddying up their predisposition) and those with all the facts (which is rare indeed). A statement in the book states that this is the reason there are so few engineers and scientists in elected positions; situations are more complex that most people can handle. Elected officials, for the most part, like Hannity, parse the available nformation and make decisions based on inadequate factual data. This is not to say they are always wrong, simply that some people enter into the decision making process with their minds already made up. And, BTW..as for the Muddle East, I have been there. Much of the problems there are self-made.
