Leon Panetta says it sucks, and to get ready for war.
But the notion that Barack Obama is going to do anything aggressive toward Iran is wishful thinking. Valerie Jarrett would never stand for it.

Advice to New Jersey Jews: Make an example of Cory Booker.
Also, Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Colleges are teaching young people that 911 (an event they can barely remember) was our fault. Of course, they teach them that everything bad in the world is our fault, thanks to Howard Zinn and others.
Hotels are laying off workers. Shops are empty and many will have to be closed. The city is reeling with feelings of guilt and anxiety. Guilt because one of their own murdered guests, the gravest possible offense against the ancient Arab code of hospitality, and anxiety because—what now? How will the city survive? How will all the laid-off workers earn a living with their industry on its back? Sousse without tourists is like Hollywood without movies and Detroit without automobile manufacturing.
Even Tunisia’s agriculture economy is crashing. Prices are down by 35 percent because the resorts don’t need to feed tourists anymore.
Rezgui’s ghoulish attack was spectacularly successful, wasn’t it? A single act of violence and—boom. Just like that, it’s all over.
The lights continue to go out.
Fear is contagious. So is courage.
Also, who should we trust: Officials, or ourselves?
And no, we shouldn’t extend TSA to trains. We should get rid of it on airplanes.
That data should have never been on that server. The fact that it was is solid, indisputable evidence of the commission of multiple crimes. The only question is who all committed them.
…yes, you get racist hate mongering.
What will it take to get the Jewish community to wake up?
[Afternoon update]
Israelis unite against the Iran “deal.”
Because it’s a lousy deal.
This isn’t really news — it’s been known for years, but it looks like someone’s finally seriously investigating Huma’s Muslim Brotherhood connections.
I haven’t posted much about him here (though I’ve had a lot to say over on Twitter), but yes, he would be a disastrous president.
I doubt if he’s ever even read the Constitution.

Speaking of Trump, go read Jonah Goldberg’s evisceration of him.
Even if he won’t admit it, he’s starting to realize what a fool he was in 2008, when he thought that pants creases were a good indicator of presidential material:
Wars, military or economic, are measured by whether you achieved your stated objectives. By this standard the U.S. and its allies lost the war against Iran, but we were able to negotiate terms that gave only our partial surrender, which forces Iran to at least delay its victory. There have now been three big U.S. strategic defeats over the past several decades: Vietnam, Iraq and now Iran.
And the latter two of those occurred on this president’s watch. In fact, they seem to have been his goal, right from his campaign in 2008.
