via Weekly Standard, Lieberman, Kyl and Bayh, “Whatever it takes … crippling sanctions.” I dunno, I can think of other measures that might be more effectively crippling. Whatever …

Ralph Peters, NYPost, cruelly: “Appease-y does it for weak Prez on the road to a Mideast apocalypse.”

Greenwald, Should any Iraq lessons be applied to Iran? I can think of a few quick applicable Iraq lessons off the top of my head. Whack one tyrant, the rest notice. Also, whacking tyrants effectively neutralizes their ability to cause trouble. Also, follow-on is important, don’t let the Euros weasel out of it, and ignore the Dems and the anti-war American left.

Hey, that's my line..."grow a set!"

Having spent most of his adult life under the influence of ones such as Rev. Wright..and now being placed in a position to DEFEND American policies and interests...he's at a complete loss. America, in his opinion, has always been wrong and/or on the wrong side. Now he has the *responsibility* (not to mention the pressure) to defend the United States. I think he is convoluted because it is so contrary to his learned world-view. The simplistic answers that sounded so pious and well-intentioned while campaigning just do not work on the REAL world stage.

Hey, that's my line...

pop times 1000---loved this.
