Perhaps Mr. Ledeen can muster the Democrats, extra divisions and international support required for a direct assault on the Iranian and Syrian regimes.
If not, I suggest he restrict his prescriptions to the possible. That includes moral, diplomatic, economic, and perhaps covert support of the counter-revolutionaries.
Bush never said the B-52's were warmed up and ready for the signal.
Nope, IIRC, he said "The idea that we are going to attack Iran is ridiculous. That said, all options are on the table."
If there's one thing I've learned in this WOT is is that things never happen fast enough for me but when they do they happen with astonishing rapidity.
I totally understand the frustration of the students in Iran. The people of Lebanon may feel the same frustration soon. I have faith that Dubya Booosh will not leave them hanging, even if it takes too long for my liking.
Mr. Ledeen's various paragraphs are very much at odds with each other. In some places he refers to "very large scale demonstrations," and later he describes "hundreds of Iranians" out for a night of partying.
And, of course, it's all a setup for the inevitable Ledeen Bush-bash.
