Moveon.org Without a Clue

Here is another reason these guys really need to get a life. McCain has that completely right.
The liberal group MoveOn.org is launching an ad against Republican John McCain and his joke about bombing Iran, arguing that the nation "can't afford another reckless president."

The group plans to spend about $100,000 to air a commercial on network and some cable television stations in Iowa and New Hampshire, states that hold early contests in the presidential nomination process, spokesman Alex Howe said Friday.

Not sure who they think they are going to convince, since I think the Middle ground gets the fact that it was a joke. Well, good luck to them in convincing there supporters, who are already convinced.

You gotta love it.

Can someone explain to me how you can possibly achieve any kind of diplomatic agreement with someone who wants to kill you simply because you exist? What agreement can you come to with Iran, who just wants to wipe Israel (and eventually, us) off the map? Especially if they absolutely believe that we will never, under any circumstances, bomb them? Somehow I don't think that "Okay, we'll let you wipe only HALF of Israel off the map. Any more than that, and we'll use harsh language on you!" is terribly desirable or effective. Any diplomatic solution will ONLY work if they think we're going to back it up with action.

Personally, this makes me like McCain more, not less. Let the Iranians think our Pres is whack-nut crazy. They won't be capturing OUR sailors and parading them around on TV anytime soon. How nervous do you think the Dems make them? Not.
