I agree to an extent:

1. Next time we definitely need to declare war,; it will make it harder for Democrats to pull out if they can’t deny that it’s a legitimate war.

2. From now until bombing day we need to make it very clear to the Iranian people that if they don’t take down their own government we’ll wage war on their country. People are responsible for the government they have to an extent - even in dictatorships. We fought for our own freedom without waiting on a foreign power to help us; they should at least initiate a rebellion.

3. We should avoid civilian casualties to the extent that it doesn't impede our path to victory.

4. No more MSM embedding with the troops.

5. Let’s have a real surprise attack this time.

There is not enough time for Bush to get this done. It took 15 mo to go into Iraq with all the back and forth to the UN and 2 congressional resolutions.

I think W knows this is a life and death matter for our way of life, he talks that way for sure, but his deeds haven't been draconian enough for me.

We should avoid civilian casualties, but we must not go to the lengths we have in the past, and certainly not to the lengths the IDF goes to. Mahmoud is not dumb, he will have 5 civilans srrounding every tank and SAM he has.
