What ever happened to America being the land of the free and home of the brave?
You and Obamadinejad can go ahead and coddle tyrants with your despicable softer touch all you want. America is done with that.
Mr Khamenei, tear down this regime!
Yes, in the convoluted, through-the-looking glass world of Iran, yes it does.
In Iran, America is the Great Satan. That’s state religion, much as in N. Korea.
So if we give too much support and verbal boosting to a candidate, he becomes a “zionist conspirator with the Great Satan” in Iranian domestic politics. So we should sit back and be a bit more subtle in this, probably working the situation through our assets in Iraq, which is right next door.
We’re going to “coddle” whatever tyrant Iran puts up. You can call Morty and make book on it. We’re simply not going to invade Iran. We don’t have the force structure to deal with Iran and have our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan now. We’re simply stretched too thinly, and (to not put too fine a point on it) we’re broke. Never mind that we have the Democrats in control of foreign policy, which is a whole ‘nother discussion.
