Most of this article is nothing but an attempt to divide the base(us). We all know that the State Department has a bunch of entrenched left wing cronies and clinton holdovers.....wake up..the only reason that the Washington Compost printed Perles 'tantrum' was in the hope that we will all get mad about it.
Get real..we need to be on the side of our troops right now..like our President. Our troops don't need to 'open' Iran right now..especially when we can nuke them if push comes to shove!
Most on this forum know that, but the average American looks at the State Department with something like reverance, and in this case ignorance isn't bliss.
