Quite interesting and enlightening - highly recommend going to the link and reading the whole thing.
Hanson thinks, that one of the things that emboldened Iran and Syria, is that they think that the US POPULATION is not ready for another war.
We can thank the Dems and the traitorous MSM for encouraging our enemies and make them think that they can get away with attacks.

I think Hanson has it wrong, that the US will back down. High oil prices are more of an incentive to weaken Iran than to cow toe. Cowboy diplomacy is not dead. Furthermore, the nuke issue will not go away -- but increase, if America backs down. America has more to gain with the collapse of Syria's ruling family... which leaves only Iran left in the house of cards.
To: Blind Eye Jones
Read it again -- Hanson didn't say that the US will back down, he said that Iran and Syria think so. He is responding to Gibson's question:" "So the Iranians and the Syrians seem to be transparently behind this and seem to feel they can get away with it. Why? "
And the Dems and the media were the ones who let Iran and Syria think they can get away with it, and that's why they started the conflict.
Of course we are not going to let them get away with it, but if we had a united front IN the US, they may not have become so emboldened to start the conflict in the first place.

Correction:
The US Media -- our enemies best friend, spies & leaker's of our classified information to the enemy.
Now there, that sounds better.
Remember my friend, the NYTslimes.

Just great.
Now we have "news reader types" like Gibson grilling experts like Hanson and posing kindergarden queries that lead to almost zero enlightenment or goofball retalliatory "quasi-opinions" from self-appointed sidewalk superintendents boldly spewing away without engaging the old "headbone".
The MSM is bankrupt and lethally crippled as a source of intelligible information...resembling nothing more than street theatre.

Excellent discussion, and just further supports the idea that Israel should take this to the heart of the beast - Ahmadinejad and Teheran.

The first thing Hanson and others in the media should start doing is stop referring to "Hizbollah" and "Hamas" and start referring to them as "Iranian and Syrian military forces". That is exactly what they are with no spin attached.
