The Pirates of Persia – A Mullah’s World
The guy I hope gets into the Republican Presidential race has his first post up at Red State. If you read it, you can understand why I like the guy. He pulls no punches, says what he means, and isn’t worried about speaking the truth. Here’s the conclusion to Fred Thompson’s post.
If we retreat precipitously, the price for that betrayal will be paid first in blood and freedom by the Iranian people, the Kurds, the Afghanis, the secular Lebanese, the moderates in Pakistan and the Iraqis themselves. And America’s word may never be trusted again.
Right now, the pirate Ahmadinejad is clearly more confident about the outcome of the Global War on Terror than we are. That ought to give us pause.
It should give us pause. The only people in the world who are worried about offending people is the United States. It is high time we take seriously the dangerous world we live in. It would be nice to have a President who’s more worried about the results, than how it will affect his future in politics or what his domestic opponents would say.
Draft Fred Thompson!
Now go read the rest over at Red State. (HT Captain Ed)
