Ha. Ha. Ha. Your Kung-Fu is Weak.

By podcasts@redstate.com (Redstate Network) on Foreign Affairs

From The Scotsman we learn that Prime Minister Tony Blair is set to up the ante in Britain's confrontation with Iran. After a series of dramatic behind-the-scenes telephone calls, Blair is set to assemble the COBRA Team.

Finally, a bunch of old men wearing suits will have a meeting. And this on the heels of Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett's declaration that she is "extremely disturbed" by events. In addition to these tough displays of restraint, the Blair government intends to raise the diplomatic temperature; seek a public denunciation of Iran from important undersecretaries in Brussels, Belgium; and issue a no-nonsense demand that Iran relent.

Presumably, the old guys in suits — meeting deep below 10 Downing in a maximum-security bunker — will formulate a plan to hold a meeting to draft a statement. After which, extremely serious words will be spoken, followed by increasing pressure, additionally upped antes, and even stronger demonstrations of restraint.
