Harry Reid: No Good Military Options in Iran


Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has joined the long list of national security officials, Iran experts, and others who argue that no good military options exist in Iran. (Read the full list HERE.http://thinkprogress.org/iran-military-option)

Reid, D-Nev., said the administration should be taking the lead, but instead is relying on Germany, France and Great Britain to convince Iran to end its uranium enrichment program. “It is hard to comprehend,” Reid said Tuesday in Reno. “We should be involved at trying to arrive at a diplomatic solution. … Not just these three countries.” …

“Our not being involved diplomatically in trying to solve the situation in Iran shows the Bush failure in foreign policy there and elsewhere.” And he said the U.S. has no military option in Iran. “We don’t have the resources to do it” because of the ongoing war in Iraq,” he said. The right wing is already on the attack.

That's the difference between the dems and repukes, they know how to do it diplomatically. This should be an election issue

1. Can you imagine any current administration official attempting diplomacy?
They are better when away from the table.
