What choice do we have?  The goddamn liberals let the terrorists go unchecked
for 8 years, and now when we're trying to do something about it, we've got them
trying to trip us up at every turn.  Doing it the way you want to isn't going
to work because it isn't pro-active.  It gives them too much chance to screw
things up.

Do you really think Israel is going to sit back and let Iran get itself into
the position where they can take out Israel?  No, they'll take care of things
before it gets to the point where they can be hurt.  And now that Syria says
its going to form a Syrian branch of Hezbollah, that crunch point will come
sooner than later.

And we've got nobody to blame for that but ourselves.
