I listened to what I could stand of the President’s presser yesterday. His stance that sanctions on Iran will dissuade them from pursuing a nuclear weapon is more than naive. The challenge to the GOP primary challengers to state the case for war is a straw man, as if there were no choices other than capitulation or war. Most infuriating though is this willingness to wait until Iran has a weapon to do anything about it. How do they think they will know the magic moment when Iran has a working prototype? When they test it? And, where do you think Iran will test this weapon? In a bunker underground in Iran or on the streets of Tel Aviv? Waiting for Iran to have a nuclear weapon, even a “dirty bomb”, before dealing with it is like a doctor waiting to treat a patient until he has died. Obamacare meets foreign policy.
