At least Johnson had the U.S.S.R. to contend with,comparatively a non-nuclear Iran is a paper tiger. Obama has no excuse for letting Iran's nuclear program progress to this point. I just don't think it's fair to compare Johnson to Obama.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067977173951690762.post-27110858948401364082012-10-24T11:35:49.946-07:002012-10-24T11:35:49.946-07:00All of Israel's war games "indicated that...All of Israel's war games "indicated that Israel would win the war"?

BBC is notorious for antisemitism, but obviously the fact that Thompson ran the place appealed to the NYT crowd.
