No, it shouldn’t. The most prominent news item should be obama’s intent, his very DANGEROUS intent, to allow iran to go nuclear which will threaten the entire world, but hardly anyone is writing about it or paying attention to what he is doing in foreign policy while everyone is obsessed with zero care and now this senate gambit.
WE need to stop using the phrase “playing politics” because we are not. We should realize that politics is war by any other name and act accordingly.
We need wargamers led by real war consiglieres, not the sniveling, whining political leaders chosen for us by themselves.
Iran is going nuclear and there is nothing we are going to do about it. Mark my words.
Perhaps Israel will, but I don’t think so. This horse left the barn a long time ago.
What we are going to get now is some kind of agreement along the lines of what was done with North Korea in the Nineties, where Iran will get to practice taqiyya with all sincerity, and we (the USA and the rest of the world) are going to let them.
Events are rushing headlong, getting faster and faster and time is shorter and shorter. It feels like the 1930’s to me, or 1914 all over again.
