Talk About Strategery

I'm still not entirely sure what Mr.s Krauthammer and Kondracke want President Obama to do in terms of Iran/that particular country's quest for nuclear weaponry. I mean, yes, I know that they talk (bellow, actually) a lot about sanctions and stuff. But even these fellows are quick to admit, absent participation by Russia and China, sanctions would in fact be ineffectual...............................................................................................Then, of course, there's that whole "we really need to support the resistance" strategy of theirs. As if it were a simple matter, I'm saying. It's like, what, what do you mean? Are you saying that we should rhetorically back them (speak from our moral authority, in other words)? Or, OR, are you saying that we should support them militarily. I mean, yes, you really do need to be prepared for that. This, in that (yes, back in 1991) the first President Bush told Iraqi's Shiites that, "Yeah, yeah, we support you" (basically inciting them to revolt, mind you) - only to stand idly by while they basically got slaughtered...............................................................................................And, really, how absolutely certain is it that this new Iranian regime would be any better? I mean, think about it here. The Palestinians - how in the hell did that little election work out? Yeah, huh?

Mike, he seems to be saying that you're more of a side-kick than a leading man. Don't worry about it, though. One of my all-time favorite actors was Lee J. Cobb and he was never a leading man. There are far, Far, FAR, more important things in life.

This post was not meant to diminish the seriousness of the problem. Nuclear attainment by Iran is indeed a serious issue. I'm just not so sure that any of our options are all that attractive here. I certainly see it as a much more complicated issue than Krauthammer and Kondracke do. That is FO SHO.
