I’m disappointed by Obama’s convention speech. I think he should have used the time he had with a big audience to better effect. I was looking for more specifics here.

DoD Sec Robert Gates on the military option in Iran

Defense Secretary Robert Gates said today on a CNN interview:
“The reality is, there is no military option that does anything more than buy time. The estimates are one to three years or so. And the only way you end up not having a nuclear-capable Iran is for the Iranian government to decide that their security is diminished by having those weapons, as opposed to strengthened.”
