The Center For Security Policy’s Frank Gaffney is often accused of being a “neocon” because he was in favor of the Iraq War, and he’s often accused of being a puppet for the Israelis.

Those assumptions take a beating in this 13-minute interview with Hugh Hewitt late last week, when Gaffney not only rejects the arguments for attacking the Assad regime in Syria – a rejection not only of Obama but also the host, who’s in favor of bombing Syria – but takes the pro-Israel lobby to task for its actions surrounding Syria and a few other issues.
