You can’t expect too much from a presidential debate of course, as everything has both to be filtered through the Beltway Consensus and be spoonfed to idiots (Or do I repeat myself), but this is disappointing nonetheless. A lot of blather about whether or not the president should meet with Iran without “pre-conditions”, but nothing from Obama that challenges the lie that Iran is developing nuclear weapons and is therefore a threat to Israel. Instead, we get Obama’s good cop, diplomacy first shtick versus McCain’s hardline “bomb, bomb, bomb Iran” bad cop act.
