The appropriate response to Iranian nukes requires EITHER a united international alliance OR a resolved and united nation determined to act without international support. (Both together wouldn't hurt.)
The treacherous MSM are working HARD, persistently, unstoppingly against BOTH, and mostly against unity and determination on the part of the US.
Bush, IMHO, cannot act resolutely without 60 senators and a good majority of congresscritters behind him. Elections are coming up. And the treacherous newsies are doing whatever they can to deprive Bush of the support he needs.
I'm not saying things are all hunky-dory. I AM saying that credit and blame should be laid where they belong. Bush cannot lead if Congress won't follow. It's a matter, at least, of resources. That dope of a judge who ruled against the wire-tapping ruled FOR diverting gov't time and resources away from the WOT toward shepherding that case through the courts. SINCE (not if) The Dims (and, shamefully, some Republicans) will take the Supremes decision about Git'mo and turn it into a recrimination-filled log-rolling festival in which they offer to trade the nation's survival for the 203rd waste-water treatment plant in Osceola named after some one-term DemocRAT congressdude.
And every Dim rant about Bush acting like a cowboy when he attempts something effective will e amplified by repetition in the MSM until both houses of Congress get the heebie-jeebies and start thinking that if they don't bribe their constituents with words of pablum and gifts of pork they'll never see the sun rise over DC again.
Bush is indeed wavering. He may indeed have a knee on the canvas. But it's the MSM that is delivering the punches.
I'm going to talk to the bosslady aboyt dropping the WaPo because even the funnies, and not just the predictable and now hackneyed Doonesbury are actively campaigning against the nation and for the Democrats.
If instead of Goliath, David had had to fight the many-headed Hydra, one well-slung stone would not have won the fight, and that would have not been because of any lack of resolution on David's part.
