According to this Daily Beat piece by Michael Tomasky the ostensible reason Coons is down on diplomacy because it doesn’t solve all problems in the middle east tomorrow. That’s some transparent bullshit, because nobody ever said that this deal was supposed to solve all middle eastern problems (or even the ones caused by George Bush) with the stroke of a pen.
But I think we all know the real reasons. 1) AIPAC says so. and 2) He thinks there is some political/career gain from building up this image as some kind of Dem hawk. I don’t get #2, but his track record is pretty clear.
