I didn't read the rest of this dribble, but does he go through hypothetical events that could take place if we didn't strike?

The 1970's reasoning of the Carter crowd is, that if we just wait long enough, Iran will see the error of its ways, and everyone will join hands and live in peace. That's a beguiling idea, but I'm not so sure the World works that way. I see all kinds of evidence of people doing awful and atrocious things, but I don't see evidence of a natural proclivity to sit around a campfire singing Kumbaya.
I think most of us would prefer to avoid an armed conflict. Iran's leadership seems hell-bent on one. Their philosophy seems to be, Please attack us so that the Mahdi will come and we will subdue the World. Not much pacifist thinking there.

We can't attack Iran. After all, it mught hurt the regime Carter helped put in power.

There are always plenty of good excuses for a lazy coward to do nothing; but, a reasonable person would conclude that this argument means that we must be nuked first before we can act, and that is a wholly unacceptable premise.

The left has been in a tizzy for years to protect Syria and Iran. Your guess why is as good as mine. Because those two countries are the most active in pushing for the elimination of Israel?

LOLOL Pretty well sums it up ;)

Syria will probably be destroyed by an errant missile. The Israel missile defense is exceptional but not full proof.
Lots of folks should have worries. The Palestinians especially. They number 3 to 1 vs the Israelies. Guess who is most likely to be hit with the "super accurate" Iranian missiles?

Darn. We might make them mad. They might sponsor acts of terrorism. Ooops. Too late. This analysis completely ignores the cooperation between North Korea and technology transfers from A. Q. Khan in Pakistan. The analysis ignores the recent missile tests.

War with Iran is going to be big, bloody, and protracted.
There is NO REASON not to seek a Declaration of War against the Islamic Republic prior to commencement of hostilities.
The rest of Zbig's points are absurd blather - but even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

if undertaken without the sanction of the UN Security Council either alone by the United States or in complicity with Israel, it would stamp the perpetrator(s) as an international outlawBFD.

The genius from the Jimmah Cahtah White House.
To: Crackingham
Why the heck do all of these geniuses keep telling us that Iran is "several years away" from development of a bomb?
Russia had one in 1950, just 5 years after we did. And that was using technology that is now considered stone-age. France, UK, Israel, China, Pakistan, and India likewise quickly developed bombs once they got the know-how.
What makes Iran so different? If we listen to these fools, we are going to wake up to a nuclear test in the Persian desert, only to be told by Zbig & Company that "it's too late now to do anything."
Send in the freaking cruise missiles, dammit.
