I ask the rhetorical question, where is the sanctions and inspection crowd today? You know who you are - you lovers of El Baradei, you bootlickers of Scott Ritter. Whatever your prior status, you may come out of your holes and find common cause with those of a more red-blooded American sort by bleating your tooters towards the Iranian regime.
The first Democrat candidate to call for a tightening regime of nuclear inspections and sanctions on Iran gets props from this side. Who will it be?
Matthew Levitt leads my charge:
The latest U.S. National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iran's nuclear intentions and capabilities has been the subject of much analysis, most of which has been off point. The new estimate opens with the startling judgment that Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program in the fall of 2003, which has led some to conclude sanctions are no longer necessary. They are. Indeed, the estimate's more significant conclusion is that the most likely tool to successfully alter Iran's nuclear calculus is targeted political and economic pressure, not military action.
