The public doesn’t want to bomb bomb Iran and even the liberal AIPAC gave Obama an standing ovation. So Obama’s right to call the Republicans’ bluff:
“This is not a game,” Mr. Obama said during a news conference at the White House timed to coincide with Super Tuesday voting in the Republican primaries in a number of crucial states. Mr. Obama gave a staunch defense of his administration’s actions to rein in Iran’s nuclear ambitions and said tough sanctions put in place by the United States and Europe were starting to work and were part of the reason Iran had returned to the negotiation table.
“The one thing we have not done is we have not launched a war,” Mr. Obama said. “If some of these folks think we should launch a war, let them say so, and explain to the American people.”
I’d call these idiots war-mongers but in a way that’s giving them too much credit: they’re not even trying to affect policy. Tebow gave them a rumored nuclear program, they’re just trying to make rumored-nuclear-programade. I have to admit that George Will put it best:
They want to bomb Iran, but they’re afraid of Rush Limbaugh.
