George W. Bush’s appointee to the US Institute of Peace, Daniel Pipes, says Obama could and should improve his poll numbers by bombing the crap out of Iran (hey, it could be his 9/11 — awesome). What a sad, desperate cry for attention from yet another unemployed, bloodthirsty cretin.
Just as 9/11 caused voters to forget George W. Bush’s meandering early months, a strike on Iranian facilities would dispatch Obama’s feckless first year down the memory hole and transform the domestic political scene. It would sideline health care, prompt Republicans to work with Democrats, and make the netroots squeal, independents reconsider, and conservatives swoon.
