NATO Secretary General says military option still on table viz Syria - are these people idiots? Are the West's strategic interests now in the hands of absolute fools? Forget the reasons why Putin has effectively taken the military option off the table or at the very least made it a much, much more perilous thing should Obama choose to roll those dice for utterly specious reasons - let's just concentrate on fact that Obama has exchanged letters with Rouhani, has put bilateral negotiations on the table with Iran over its nuke ambitions and in general has indicated he's more than willing to be beguiled by Rouhani's sales pitch and therefore expect these 'negotiations' when they happen to drag on for many months with understanding that a strike on Syria puts an end to all that pretty hope and change - therefore, obviously, stating the military option is still on the table within this context is mindless bluster - negotiations with Iran and a strike on Syria are mutually exclusive, you can have one or the other but not both, and indeed that would be one of the main reasons if not the sole reason why Rouhani would seek out and welcome negotiations! So again I ask: are the West's strategic interests now in the hands of absolute fools? Sure seems that way.
