Now with respect to Iran, they can plainly see our vulnerability today and they can plainly see the opportunity we provided them to press ahead with their plans to build nuclear weapons -- we handed them this opportunity on a silver platter the day we invaded Iraq. Sanctions won't work on Iran, and they will have their bomb unless we take military action. We are in no position to do more than bomb them. Will bombing them do the job? And at what cost? We shot ourselves in the foot in Iraq and now we can't make a credible threat to take action against Iran. We could go nuclear on them -- one hell of a frightening prospect for all concerned and a tragic option forced by the stupidity of premature and misguided commitment to a low-level threat from Iraq.
