We can defeat the Persians militarily, nobody denies that. The problem comes when we go back in to clean up and rebuild. So just attack them, and let them clean up the mess themselves.

"In many nations, Clarke would have been imprisoned and possibly executed for his incompetence..."

How about air drop leaflets to Iranian military forces. Photos of Helen Thomas, Rosanne Barr and Madeline Halfbright in thong underwear...as just three of the beautiful virgins waiting for then when they give their life in jihad.

Clarke:More doom and gloom from a proven loser.The tone of the article would lead the(uninformed)reader to think military action against Iran would cost us more than it's worth.More MSM disinformation.

"Our enemies see this and think we are weak...and won't fight."

And in the case of Richard Clarke, Sandy Berger, Bill Clinton, and many other Democrats, our enemies are absolutely correct.

Why don't we just STFU and do it?

This crap should have stopped in 1978!

***A U.S. conflict with Iran could be even more damaging to America's interests than the war with Iraq***

And Iran with a Nuclear bomb wouldnt be damaging???

Who? What? - Richard Clarke? - ROFL!

Thats like Bill Clinton lecturing on the virtuousness of abstinence and marital fidelity.

Or, for that matter, Hillary lecturing on the positive aspects of Conservative values.

A true Clockwork Orange.

Something mechanical masquerading as something organic and real.

I don't think it's credibility he's overflowing with.

Clarke is salivating over a nuclear-armed Iran.

I have no doubt that you are correct, but that is one of the craziest things I can think of. The man is literally out of his mind.

Liberals would rather score political points than keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of terrorists. What's a few million dead when there are political points to be made? The ironic thing is, if terrorists do sneak a nuke into one of our cities, it will kill mainly big city Liberals.

And the fact that these liberals would be among the first to be beheaded as infidel nonbelievers.

Good point. And Clarke's answer to the problem of a nuclear Iran is?

We are not weak. But I have my doubts about our leaders. This Iran thing just seems to be heading in a bad direction and The US is appearing to fumble around, using the same play book from Iraq ... years of UN BS with nothing done until we are struck by a catastrophe.

This from the idiot who has been wrong about terrorism from the beginning.

Exactly right - R. Clarke is a complete fool. The man never provided one piece of actionable Intel in his whole damn career (and that is what his job was!).

He is a chicken little...always was, always will be (which is exactly why the dying MSM love him).

How terrorists did Osama put through his camps while we were tied up flying 300,000 flights over Iraq during the 90's?
