I understand your point. Last thing on earth we need is another war. Except maybe a nuclear Iran.

Bush dithered with Iran. Yes, his hands were full, already. obama has done worse. Resupply of Israel should they act should be a foregone conclusion. As of now, it isn’t. The longer we (the rest of the world) have waited the worse a set of bad choices have gotten.

Step one on the path to recovery, whatever that winds up being, is replacing obama. God willing, that first step will be taken this November/next January.

Bush didn't "dither on Iran" at all. He simply recognized what a lot of us knew ourselves ... that the U.S. didn't have the resources or the political will to engage in a third military campaign in the Middle East after the first two ended up as they did.

Bush's biggest problem was that his administration was filled with @ssholes who spent a good chunk of their careers making ludicrous claims that a war in Iraq would be a "cakewalk," and that Iraqis would welcome U.S. soldiers with open arms as liberators. The U.S. also hitched its wagon in Iraq to a guy (Ahmed Chalabi) who may very well have been an Iranian and/or Shi'ite mole, for all intents and purposes.
