Reid's Read on Iran

By Jed Babbin on 4.20.06 @ 10:29AM

Thanks to Harry Reid - speaking for the party of Cynthia McKinney - we now know that the United States lacks a military option on Iran because we're too tied up in Iraq. Funny. No one I know among the nation's senior military leaders would say that. Maybe Harry wouldn't listen to his senior military advisors. Oh, sorry. I forgot. That's not the province of Dems who brought us Blackhawk Down, US soldiers wearing UN berets and so forth. That, according to the Dems, is the province of Don Rumsfeld.

Why, oh why, does anybody take Reid seriously about anything, especially national defense? Thanks, Harry babe, for proving to the world that the Iranians are entirely free to pursue nuclear weapons if they can outwait GWB.
