The latest Florida poll spells trouble for Rudy!'s grand strategy of bailing out everywhere else and putting all of his oranges into the Sunshine State. He's at 19%, with Willard and McCain at 28% and 25% respectively.
This is a good thing. A very good thing.
Because while the world wavers, key Rudy! foreign policy advisor, old school neocon, and verifiable lunatic Norman Podhoretz is shouting from the top of the WSJ editorial pages to bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran (NIEs be damned):
as between bombing Iran to prevent it from getting the bomb and letting Iran get the bomb, there is simply no contest.
...The upshot is that if Iran is to be prevented from becoming a nuclear power, it is the United States that will have to do the preventing, to do it by means of a bombing campaign, and (because "if we wait for threats to fully materialize, we will have waited too long") to do it soon.
...In 1938, as Winston Churchill later said, Hitler could still have been stopped at a relatively low price and many millions of lives could have been saved if England and France had not deceived themselves about the realities of their situation. Mutatis mutandis, it is the same in 2008, when Iran can still be stopped from getting the bomb and even more millions of lives can be saved--but only provided that we summon up the courage to see what is staring us in the face and then act on what we see.
Given Rudy!'s anger management issues and Podhoretz' active fantasy life, I'd say we just might have something to thank Florida for, eight years on from the 2000 disaster.
