    "Say, hypothetically, that we obtain definitive proof that Iran is aiding AlQaeda, with funding and training. And I mean definitive proof, whatever it may be, that leaves no doubt about it. What do we do? Have the UN impose sanctions? Go in there? What do you all think?"

    I think the world would, rightly, laugh in our faces. We shot our collective credibility by lying about Iraq. Furthermore, we ain't got the troops to do shit to Iran. Sure, we can bomb them a few times and they can make Iraq more of a living hell than it already is, for the next 100 years.
