It was very frightening listening to this guy. He is even more dangerous than Ledeen as the think tank he works for has both Democrats and Republicans amongst its supporters.

I wrote a summary in my blog but comments were hijacked by an obsessive reader talking about a completely different issue…

There is only one question though: will PM Brown be any different from PM Blair?

The problem is that although I agree that he's not within 1 million light years of credible, he is considered to be credible by a sizeable number of people in the States including, I suspect, President Bush.

Perhaps it's because many of the things the Iranian regime does, treating women as lesser beings for example, are done by our "good friends" the Saudis too. Good stuff rick.

septicisle, indeed. That really puts a spanner in the works of the propaganda brigade. It would, at least, if they were in any way attached to reality.

There’s plenty to criticise about the Iranian regime but that doesn’t stop these armchair generals just making stuff up. Perhaps it’s because many of the things the Iranian regime does, treating women as lesser beings for example, are done by our “good friends” the Saudis too.

You would have thought that a President who intends "to wipe Israel off the map" might have started with his own Jewish population first.
