Iran, the Olestra of wars

In search of good options on Iran, I was watching Fox News. Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney USAF (ret.) was just on the Special Report with Brit Hume and contrary to much thinking on the subject says that there is a military option. It would involve 200 aircraft which will in part be contributed by, wait for it, wait for it, ... the surrounding Arab nations. Conveniently, there are also no consequences. We just do it (with our Arab friends) and then nothing happens. Shock and awe, I guess, will prevent Iran from having any response whatsoever.

Oh, and Brzezinski was highlighted as a hypocrite because he had criticized people who think a withdrawal from Iraq would result in catastrophic destabilization. He said that the same sorts of arguments were not borne out after Vietnam. Oh, tut tut tut, Mr. Brzezinski, you may have forgotten that you made the same argument against withdrawal, but Fox News and Google have not forgotten. Brzezinski said this in...1964. Yes, I will never trust a word from Brzezinski's mouth again. I feel so jaded.


CNN says the strike in Pakistan a few days ago may have killed Abu al-Masri. That would be very good news.
