Bobolicious

Ah, the banality of the inanity:

We don’t understand the Iranians because the Iranians don’t understand themselves. The regime isn’t sure whether it is an ideological movement championing global jihad or whether it is merely regional power seeking Middle East hegemony. Until the Iranians resolve this internal ambiguity, you can talk to them all you want, but they won’t be able to make a strategic shift or follow a more amenable path.


Well, it seems clear enough to McCain -- he's a uniter, so bomb 'em.

But the really important thing to Bobo is that we absolve Bush:

There are a hundred things they could have done differently, but the primary fault for the failure to contain Iran does not lie in Washington.

It lies first with the feckless international community


Yes, the UN is at fault for the Bush Administration toppling Tehran's major enemy in the region and allowing it to fill the vacuum and dominate the internal politics of the place it was at war with so recently.

But it isn't Bush's fault.

Uh-huh.
