Whistling through the Iranian graveyard

As Jamie Fly points out in the Weekly Standard, the Obama administration seems to think that if we ignore Iran it will just go away. The talk of additional sanctions in conjunction with the same mealy-mouthed rhetoric about keeping the door open and the lack of at least verbal support for the opposition may be part of a brilliant scheme to keep the mullahs off balance, but somehow I suspect it's the same foreign-policy fecklessness that has stamped this presidency with the indelible mark of bumbling incompetence (and, unfortunately, W didn't leave a road map behind on how to deal with this problem, as he did with Iraq).


"Hey, Joe, does this look send the right signal of tough love to the Iranians?"

    Obama's just worried that he will upset more of his base which is, of course, comprised of southside Chicago thugs and Marxists.

    The "Pretty in Pink" Storm Trooper seems to be a good analogy for younger women given the nod to "Hello Kitty". My favorite is still Malificent of "Sleeping Beauty" fame, who always seemed to be a pretty good analogy for women.
