Leader of Socialist Terror Group Accuses West of "Appeasement" Policy Toward Tehran; Congress Applauds

Because I always wanted to be a headline writer.  Story here.

Snark aside, the story does break some news:

Stephen Hadley, national security adviser, commissioned 10 briefing papers exploring various options [about what to do with Iran]. A National Security Council meeting was cancelled this month after one of the papers, which proposed expanding diplomatic contacts with Iran, was leaked to the Wall Street Journal. Some officials suspect that someone senior wanted to sabotage the idea.

Diplomats and two US officials said the latest review was prompted by the conclusion reached by Condoleezza Rice, secretary of state, and others that an effective sanctions option did not exist, and that they had been misled by the predictions of neoconservatives who saw the Iranian regime ripe for overthrow by a restless populace.
