I remember Netanyahu telling us that if we get rid of Saddam that Iran would immediately collapse and peace would come to the region.
Not taking anything he predicts as gospel.
After all, how could Nancy Pelosi be wrong?
Please find a quote where he said Iran would immediately collapse and post it here. He said there was a possibility that there would be an implosion in Iran. He felt that the Iranian middle class would have the strength to fight the government if Iraq were taken out. He explictly said there were no guarantees.
Well then, a nuclear Iran with long range missile capabilities is really cool. Nothing like terrorist loving muslims strong arming the globe...even more.
By capitulating, you are pretty much telling Iran do what you want.
In a parochial sort of way it’s like arming all criminals in the US with a lifetime supply of guns and ammo so they can be better equipped at murder and mayhem.
