Iran Plays "Rope-a-Dope... Again
Contributed by Shane Briscoe
So Iran has finally given its answer to the UN Security Council on the incentives package it was offered to suspend its nuclear program: "We'll talk about it."
It's Muhammad Ali's old "rope-a-dope" strategy all over again. Let your opponent do all the work as you sucker him in and string him along until he is worn out and you deliver the knockout blow.
They've been leading the UN and the U.S. around like a lamb on its way to the slaughterhouse for months and months now, only Iran's slaughterhouse involves nuclear weapons and they are making progress toward a bomb fast, unless they already have one.
The time for talking is past. But with the decadent Euros unable to muster the courage to do anything about a threat that puts them in the line of fire first; and the Chinese, Russians and French playing global chess against the United States, and Israel with a timid Prime Minister who blinked when Hezbollah and its UN allies said stop the fighting, and our own President becoming increasingly timid in the face of the upcoming election with Democrats waving the white flag of surrender, I am afraid Iran will win this campaign of the War on Terror.
Everyone is simply kicking the can down the road for someone else to handle, putting all of us at extreme risk. This will end very badly for Western Civilization.
