Jon Chait has an interesting article arguing that we shouldn't take the candidates rhetoric about forward-looking Iraq policy all that seriously -- both have incentives to try to outline crystal clear positions but, in reality, both would need to respond to some extent to events on the ground....
Republican John McCain has accused his potential White House rival Barack Obama of a "reckless" misreading of Iran's threat, but the Democrat insisted it was time to turn the page on failed diplomacy. The two senators pursued the opening shots of what will be a major foreign policy battle if they...
Loud and clear, as usual: Before I begin my prepared remarks, I want to respond briefly to a comment Senator Obama made yesterday about the threat posed to the United States by the Government of Iran. Senator Obama claimed that the threat Iran poses to our security is 'tiny' compared to ...
As Barack Obama and John McCain "debate" over how each would negotiate with Iran, the dissidents within Iran are voicing to the world an unusual message: "If the United States strikes hard and fast, we will support you." The United States has been in a State of War with Iran since 1979, thanks to...
John Edwards based his Presidential run on the “Two Americas” theme, arguing that there was one America for the rich and another America for the poor. After witnessing the failure of the “Two Americas” platform, Barack Obama has now initiated his “Two Iran’s” platform. One Iran poses no threat to...

I don't know if this Jerusalem Post story about an imminent attack on Iran is true or not. There have been dozens of these kinds of stories. But you cannot deny that Bush and Cheney have certainly been using the kind of rhetoric that presaged war with Iraq with respect to Iran. They certainly...
Obama said something really stupid the other day: Iran, Cuba, Venezuela — these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don’t pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us. … You know, Iran, they spend 1/100th of what we spend on the military. I mean, if...
I used to think it might be a good thing for Obama to continue to make egregious errors. It would allow people to see his feet of clay and to understand the dangers of his naive and uninformed views. But, as he’s made goof after goof and none of his myriad supporters—including his enablers in [...]
