As with McCain’s impetuous response to the Georgia crisis last summer, his first reaction to the events in Iran is condemnation and a call to “act.” By contrast, the Obama administration seems to understand that knowing when not to act is just as strategically important as knowing when to do so, and that the most productive thing the United States can do for Iran’s reform movement — and human rights — at the moment is to keep itself, to the extent possible, out of the equation.



I thank my lucky stars he's sitting on the sidelines and not tasked with making any tough decisions.

1. He'd be in good company here at DU.

[JayMusgrove]

2. He's looking dumber than Palin, these days!

I can't understand how this man got out of high school with his brains.

[monmouth]

3. He and the other righties are edging toward dangerousness...(Is that a word?)..n/t

[Sebass1271]

4. this is dangerous folks.. this is what what rethugs always

wanted to begin with.. to take on iran. wow, i am begining to think this was all a set up!

[pattmarty]

5. "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb bomb Iran"

[katanalori]

6. Is he singing his song again?

bommmmmb bommmmb bommmmb, bommmmb bommmmb Iran. What a hot-headed, reactionary idiot. And Palin, who gets "deeply offended" by a late-night comic. What if World leaders "offended" her? Those two would have made chaos of the entire planet in their first 100 days.

7. Damn, that was quicker than I thought.

I am on the edge of my seat waiting for Graham to release his statement now:

8. What a hypocrite

We have fraud elections here, do we need sanctions on our gas too? Simply amazing. Good thing Magoo isn't in charge.

[Sydnie]

11. Funny how it was gas that he named as the commodity to slap with sanctions

not sure who he is trying to help here with that tactic ... won't his oil buddies be talking him down from that position pretty quickly?

[jimshoes]

9. He still seems to be sending Morse code

with his eyelids. Can anyone make out what he's saying? Thankfully we don't have to endure McCain news conferences very often seeing that he lost the election.

10. Blood-thirsty old fart cant wait to send more americans to die

in wars we could avoid with a little diplomacy and tact.
I am glad he is not president.

[Hulk]

12. He's too old and f*cked up to go to war.....but,

...he'd sure like his son to get a shot to see if he can "out-fuck-up" dad.

Little chance.
