A Period of Consequences | The Weekly Standard.
Bill Kristol and Jamie Fly invoke Churchill to argue that Obama is a poor leader because he won’t attack Iran when told to by the editorial board of the Weekly Standard. They also argue that Iran won’t dare retaliate with a nuclear weapon. Isn’t that enough reason to stop going all breathless over Iranian nukes?
You can’t have it both way boys, either they’re crazy and will use a nuke to preemptively wipe out Israel or they’re too afraid of a US conventional attack to retaliate to a direct attack on their nation with a nuke. If you won’t use them when you get invaded, you won’t use them at all, I’d argue. Why does anyone pay any attention to Kristol anyway? He’s been consistently wrong about everything regarding the Middle East.
