Ming was excellent on Foreign Affairs. I’m hoping he’ll offered his old job again and that he’ll be willing to accept it.

Flying Rodent, indeed. If this happens, Bush might as well adopt the “C” word as the permanent new name for the war on terror or the long war or whatever it’s called at the moment.

Let’s be honest - if the US and/or UK attack Iran, we might as well clothe the troops in white uniforms with red crosses on the front and start referring to the enemy as “the Moors”.

It’s certainly how it would be seen over there.

I’ve also been entertained by Ledeen and Co’s contention that an attack would receive support from sections of Iranian society. As a Scot, I’ve learned one lesson from studying our military history, and it’s this…

Any invasion plan including a stage in which “…the people will rise up to support us!” is going to end with our heads on sticks.

Spot on, excellent post.

Funnily, it is precisely because of the dangers that Iran poses and the history of Iraq that the Lib Dems had a long term winner in Ming - a Statesman and a safe pair of hands who actually understands foreign affairs.

Hopefully Bush & his cronies are being found out now through the constant criticism from the military.

Now to the whisky bottle …………………….
