(1 post)While I understand the difference between 3.5 and 20% enrichment as it relates to the making of a nuclear bomb, as clearly the Fox hosts and general public do not, this technical detail is not really required to understand what is at play here from the republican side. All we need remember is that when Clinton attempted to take out Bin Laden during the Lewinsky "affair" all we heard was "wag the dog wag the dog" from the right. What we now know is Clinton was clearly working in our national interests, and likely should have done more, but was constrained by the Lewinsky mess of his own making. Fast forward, we now have an Obamacare website roll out mess, temporary as I believe it to be it is still much of the President's own making, and now that the President is pushing toward what could be a landmark agreement with an adversary that was ready to stand with us after 9/11 lest we forget, what we hear from the right-wing Chicken Hawks is "wag the dog wag the dog". As Yogi Berra once said, "It is deja vu all over again."
