Bush hasn’t the wisdom, the prudence, the strategic sense to do what must be done. But what he’s most lacking is the nerve, the simple manhood.

Of course none of this would be necessary, had this administration the sense to heed Professor Ledeen’s advice years ago, when he laid out a strategy that would have forestalled the need to unleash and unload on the Iranians.

But now it’s all too damn late!

So the sitrep is we won’t do it, {because we’ve a wimp where a man should be…}.

And despite all the signal sending, The Israelis won’t do it because we won’t green-light them, but even were we to sign off on it, they still can’t do it, for they lack an Air Force capable of carrying out a sustained air operation so far from their frontiers.

Which leaves the Israelis staring long and hard at the nuclear option, {a pre-emptive nuclear strike}.

If I were in charge of Israel, I would tell Bush: “Either you go in with your Air Force, your Naval Air, and thoroughly take out that regime, their terror, their Manhattan Project, or we’re left with no choice but nuking them, ——————- and I’m going to issue that order in about 4 weeks.”

If you leave Washington a choice, they’ll do their level best to squalidly scramble out of it.

And if you leave Washington much time, they’ll leak your plans and try to media pre-empt your military pre-emption. So of course you would have to throw in the addendum that as soon as word leaks in the media, the nuclear tipped missles will fly as of that moment, regardless of the hour, and with no subsequent warning.

I feel like the late Albert Wolhstetter here, charting out nuclear strategy.

However, to turn to some good news, I’ve recently made a small contribution to Ledeen, Inc., for I’ve just purchased his book: The War Against the Terror Masters!

It’s an exceptional read, with all kinds of information.

Professor, have you ever spoken with former CIA operative, Robert Baer?

If so, what can you tell us about him, and what did you talk about?
