Instead of empowering Iran we should have taken them up the escalation tree long ago.

Bush should have dealt with them years ago.
They've become formidable.

Tin foil hat time..
Iran is itching for the US to shoot at their boats.
They have a couple DE subs laying on the bottom with a large capital ship in their sights, maybe a carrier.
And coastal anti-ship missiles.

“Bush should have dealt with them years ago.

I believe Dubya would have dealt with them, except for the unforeseen, incredibly demonization of himself and the American military by the fifth column of American Media.

They would have demanded, and likely got, his impeachment over it.
