Absurd. If America comes to believe this, then all is lost. There is that chance---very remote, imho--only because of the complicit Old Media, who are generally equal to libs on my POS scale.
Kondracke's comments about Kerry's strategy was perfect - "what is Kerry going to do, get permission from France and Germany before he is able to make a credible threat for use of force against Iran or North Korea?"
Wouldn't you think that even the old media would have a pause, just for a millisecond, and think about it. Think about more attacks, their wives in burkas, their money all gone, their mansions inhabited by terrorists, their sons beheaded, their daughters raped. You might think that would give them pause.
