More Lebanon Winners and Losers
Fantastic article at the American Thinker on the recent Lebanese conflict. This was my favorite part:
Despite the death knell sounding on the President’s Middle Eat policy, the war had the unintended consequence of firming the Bush Administration position. As the saber rattling from DC has increased in regards to Iran, many on the American left began a policy of pre-emption against Bush’s policy of pre-emption. The argument was typically along the lines of “Bush lied to us about WMD and terrorism in Iraq, so how can we trust him on Iran?” It was a lack of credibility argument. This argument has now exploded as did the first sophisticated, Iranian provided and most likely operated anti-ship weaponry fired on the Israeli navy. The volley fire of anti-tank weapons finished this argument as it finished the Israeli tanks. It is now beyond reasonable question that Iran is a state supporter of terrorism. The “no credibility argument” has, well, lost the little credibility it had before. Bush’s position on Iran has strengthened.
Even Bush's poll numbers are up!
