You might be on to something here....

The left has painted us into a corner....selling the need to be proactive against Iran will be very difficult...especially given that few Americans really understand what is going on and the consequences of doing nothing.

Honestly, the President has to tell the citizenry that we are going to act to deter a possible WMD threat from a nation that hasn't directly used force outside its borders. Why is that more of a threat than what Iraq posed?

Most on this board understand the reality of a nuclear Iran....However, most Americans don't (and won't), and given the flaming that has occurred over Iraq, will find it difficult to justify unilateral US aggression.

All thanks to the DNC....

Precisely. Now that there is a VERY CREDIBLE NUCLEAR threat that is going to require immediate, protracted, and possibly bloody action to take place, the Democrats have made it impossible for Bush to make a case for military action on Iran with WMD as the basis for invasion.

The further irony is that it is INTELLIGENCE that is leading everyone worldwide to this conclusion that Iran must be stopped, and now even the Democrats, even if they stood by Bush and made the case to the American people that it had to be done, the reason why it had to be done is going to be based on intelligence, and that won't do anymore - thanks to the seditious bastards across the aisle.
