>> Why steam around the middle east with a boatload of fire power and then tell Iran it is not in our interest to put them back in the 7th century?
Speaking of boatloads... the more I think about this whole boatload of crap from Gates and Condi, the more I conclude that it’s a suck-up to the G-8. W wants to polish up his “legacy”, so he’s soothing everyone’s fears just in time for the summit (at the expense of Israel, and possibly our own safety and well-being).
Yep, Israel is going to have to lead the way on Iran. We will have to join in afterwards. Bush has no political capital. None. Nada. His approval is going to match that of Olmert if he continues to bash the conservatives on immigration. Olmerts approval is like 7%.
