    I'd chalk this [interview] up to Obama conciliatory rhetoric

    But I'm curious as to what you think it means, Glenn.

    I understand your discomfort with having to swear fealty to the neocon vision of Israel. But I'm not all that surprised that Obama kowtowed a bit (disclosure: I haven't read the interview) given the "Obama's a Muslim who hates Israel" background noise.
