Speaking on Iran - sensible as always

- Afghanistan - nice comments - he is saying the same thing as in the op-ed. Making a nice case that the strategy has to be equal to the sacrifice.


- and climate change. (This is the MSNBC comment referred to in the other thread.

(slightly over 5 minutes) He really had a busy day between climate change and the Finance committee. We really can't complain that he is being left out of anything.

5. What a great op-ed

He really does have a way of laying out the facts clearly and making strong cases for what could be done.

One thing that could create additional trouble going after Qom militarily is that Qom is a holy city for Shiites and it is near Tehran.

Today, Qom is counted as one of the focal centers of the Shi'a both in Iran and around the globe. Its theological center and the Fatima al-Masumeh Shrine are prominent features of the provincial capital of Qom province. Another religious site of pilgrimage is outside the city of Qom and is called Jamkaran.

Qom's proximity to Tehran, Iran's capital, has allowed the clerical establishment easy access to monitor the affairs and decisions of state. Many grand ayatollahs hold offices in both Tehran and Qom; many people simply commute between the two cities as they are only 100 km apart.
