#1 An almost eerie comparison to a prewar Hitler apologist.

#2 "I think it's simplistic to regard Iran as a bogeyman," Straw said.

Oooh dear. I knew the man has a labotomy, but didnt realise he was blind too.

#3 Straw. That is what is inside his head. Rotting straw at that.

#5 "I think it's simplistic to regard Iran as a bogeyman," Straw said.

In the search for nuance and compromise, the simple truth is oftentimes denied. Not a great deal new here.

#7 I really don't think it matters what a blathering former UK pol says. I suspect a limited scope strike against Iran, with a stronger backchannel warning to follow, will soon be forthcoming. The 12-24 hour ball will then be squarely in their court. If they retaliate, all hell will break loose. The next few weeks should be quite interesting.

#8 I seem to recall Debka or some similar source reporting Israeli predictions that the Iranian nuke program would reach a critical mass (so to speak) by Feb 2010 if it weren't stopped. Looks like they were right, given the recent announcement of higher concentration uranium processing.

Straw was one of the pooh-poohers of that prediction, a man who treasures his stripped morning suit and the formal occasions on which he is able to wear them.
