I need a facepalm icon for this.

So while various Administration talking heads are assuring everyone that Sy Hersh's article about using the nuclear option in Iran is bunk, King George just says right out that it's still a valid option. I bet at least some part of the foreign affairs office did a collective facepalm over that.

I mean, let's be honest. It's the whole Iraq buildup all over again; I'm sure if I dug out a timeline from that I could predict with some accuracy when the airstrikes are supposed to start (barring, one hopes, a sudden airdrop of tact, reason and sanity on 1600 Penn. Ave.)

I suppose it would require the timeline to arrive at "drop bombs" before his term of office expires. That is approaching, isn't it?

We can leave the option on the table but still choose never to exercise it, right?!?!?!?!
