"President Obama has said that he is determined to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons. If you're determined to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons, it means you'll act before they get nuclear weapons."Red lines, anyone? Because you and I both know that Iran's plowing ahead - a fact admitted even by the IAEA. And Obama's policy is incoherent about Iranian nukes.
As for Netanyahu's appearance, I watched it and was struck again by his ability to communicate with both clarity and substance (remember this?) especially as compared to the endless and increasingly obvious BS-spinning of all the other talking heads. It was a nice touch later when he used a sports analogy to describe Iran's nuclear ambitions, as football season has just kicked off:
"You know, they're in the last 20 yards. And you can't let them cross that goal line. You can't let them score a touchdown. Because that would have unbelievable consequences, grievous consequences, for the peace and security of us all, of the world, really."

I wonder how many balance-of-power realists are telling Obama that a nuclear-armed Iran will be a rational actor that will bring a new order to the Middle East that will relieve the burden on the US.
God help us all, because I've heard this argument about "containment." A nuclear Iran isn't like a nuclear USSR.
Same folks are okay with Chinese domination of the Pacific.
