What? France's Sarkozy Floats Possibility Of Bombing Iran

Not to suggest it's a good idea, but to underscore the urgency of a diplomatic breakthrough, as bombing Iran is the only other option should diplomacy fail.

But that's a pretty amazing statement right there. The President of France is now more willing to discuss the necessity of bombing Iran than the left-liberal chattering classes and the Democratic Quislings.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Monday a diplomatic push by the world's powers to rein in Tehran's nuclear program was the only alternative to "an Iranian bomb or the bombing of Iran."

...

Sarkozy said a nuclear-armed Iran would be unacceptable and that major powers should continue their policy of incrementally increasing sanctions against Tehran while being open to talks if Iran suspended nuclear activities.

"This initiative is the only one that can enable us to escape an alternative that I say is catastrophic: the Iranian bomb or the bombing of Iran," he said, adding that it was the worst crisis currently facing the world.
