yeah, he pulled it off pretty easily. But did he bomb Iran? no, he
couldn't get a sufficient political coalition behind that, even though
the pro-Likud (neo-con) folks were all in favor. The U.S. President
can do a lot of evil, but he or she can't attain all goals. (Bushie
wanted to screw up social security. Did he succeed?)
