Neocon Agonistes: Which Iranian Result Most Likely To Get Us A War?

By M.J. Rosenberg - June 19, 2009, 8:27AM

It's not easy being a neocon right now.

How to decide what will make it more likely that President Obama will allow Israel to bomb Iran?

Initially, in the weeks running up to the Iran election, there was near unity in support for Ahmadinejad's re-election. Speaking for the whole gang, Daniel Pipes said: "I would vote for Ahmadinejad."

Martin Peretz chimed in that it wouldn't matter who won. They were all the same. (Once one make distinctions among Iranians, it is harder to bomb them).

Anyway, before the election, the neocons were all Ahmadinejad, all the time.

But then their man stole the election in a blatant way and they realized that they could use this to justify bombing the anti-democratic slugs and hit Obama for not speaking out loudly for Moussavi.
