Too clever by half? Meh …

Actually, I think the truth is simply we’ve got a mule-headed leader (thank God) who just flat tuned out the criticism and did what he thought was right and got pretty much what he hoped for.

Took longer than it needed to, but, like Lincoln, when he finally got the right general in place, good things happened.

If BHO doesn’t give it all away, we just might see Iran (like the Soviet Union before it) collapse under the weight of its’ own contradictions.
