There is no Plan “B”

I don’t know what the answer to Iran’s nuclear ambitions is, but the Democratic ticket’s flippant and facile "plan" to address the problem is worse than irresponsible. From the WashPost “Edwards Says Kerry Plans to Confront Iran on Weapons”:

He said that, if elected, Kerry would ensure that European allies were prepared to join the United States in levying heavy sanctions if Iran rejected the proposal. "If we are engaging with Iranians in an effort to reach this great bargain and if in fact this is a bluff that they are trying to develop nuclear weapons capability, then we know that our European friends will stand with us," Edwards said.
They “know” it! To Kerry/Edwards it’s an indisputable fact that the Europeans will be swayed to the U.S. point of view if we only speak to them slowly and make significant hand gestures to convey our deep concern. No other outcome is conceivable.

I have not got around to posting about it, though i have mentioned the role Iraq can play it in a few post of mine.

"There is no Plan “B”"
"I don’t know what the answer to Iran’s nuclear ambitions is"

I think that the answer might be staring the world in the face, and they just don't realize it yet.

The answer was "Iran’s nuclear ambitions" was taking over Iraq.
