This might sound crazy, but at the moment, I'd dare to state that Mahmoud is our buddy. As long as he keep ratcheting up the rhetoric, doing long-range tests, threatening to turn Israel into radioactive dust, whatever, he is making it very difficult for 0 to dismantle our missile defenses.
The One might have no problem with tossing Poland under the bus, but I think he will find the few reasoned (I'm grading on a curve, mind you) dems out there in Congress will fight against that tooth and nail. So, yeah, while I think Achmidinijab (sp?) and good ol' Lil' Kim are truly our greatest missile threats, they're also keeping The One from realizing his fantasy socialist vision of dismantling the US military.
If the pitch black cloud has a silver lining that could be it. Dinner Jacket is becoming impossible to ignore.
