Michael Ledeen walks us out of the circus tent and away from the spectacle for a moment:
I know all the political addicts are od'ing in Boston, but has anyone asked any top Dem what about Iran? You probably aren't permitted to read the news up there, but Iran has resumed production on a gas for the centrifuges that make enriched uranium, and has also broken the seals the IAEA placed on some of the equipment.The Dems are demanding that the administration adopt the recommendations of the 9/11 commission. But the commission report speaks of close working relations between Iran and al Qaeda. So do the Dems accept those parts too? Or only the parts that want even more intel bureaucracy?
Why don't you ask them?
I know it's only the survival of the nation, but surely there are five spare minutes in the day...
Bush and his host had better gird their loins for some honest Republican National Convention talk about solid plans for an endgame with Iran — otherwise the Democrats have nothing to be measured against, sacrificing an issue for the administration and consigning the world to watch from the upper deck as Tehran goes nuclear.
