So.....what is it? Are we supposed to build coalitions or go it alone? Also, the resources are already there on both sides of Iran. This type of "leadership" from the Dems is one reason I'm not worried about the November elections.

Reid is full of s*** when he says the U.S. has no military option in Iran because of the war in Iraq. That's just a flat-out false statement if you ask me. Iran's military is strong enough that the casualties from an invasion would be unacceptable in any event. So our military option is to take out their nuclear facilities with airstrikes. We have more than enough air power available in that region to conduct airstrikes on Iran if necessary, and I would bet that Reid knows this. He's just taking another cheap political shot at the President and undermining our negotiations with Iran. (BTW Harry, we are negotiating with Iran in a very real sense. There's a lot of communication between the US and Iran behind the scenes, but we're just not giving them the big propaganda venue that you foolishly want to give them through direct talks.)

Reid's statement that we have no military option is obviously false and is merely a cheap, low-class, unpatriotic political attack on our President at a critical time when we need strong congressional support in our ongoing negotiations with Iran.

"The Bush administration is relying too heavily on other countries in the international effort to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons, according to Sen. Harry Reid."

The hypocrisy is both profuse and profound here! I hardly know where to begin so I wont. Simply... What an ASS!

When we went into Iraq, Reid criticized Bush for taking "unilateral action."

Now Bush is trying to build political support in Europe, Reid criticizes that.

You just can't please these bustards whatever you do.

Well another back door criticism of the military from a high level RAT, I see.

Hey Reid. Think there's no military option for Iran? Stand back and watch how real men take care of a dangerous situation.

And he said the U.S. has no military option in Iran. "We don't have the resources to do it" because of the ongoing war in Iraq," he said.

What an ignoramus.

Tell that to the Greeks under Alexander....."No option against Iran, Alex....we're fighting elsewhere."

We COULD defeat Iran in short order. However, there's no reason to do so. All we want to accomplish is the destruction of a limited number of sites.

We must be getting ready to do something. Reid is trying to turn the country against preventative action already.
