We wanted to have a military option also. thats what i was referring to in that article and the same principal applyies today in the case of the negotiations with the iranians. we obviously prefer negotiated outcome but we have to protect ourselves. >> in the past day the supreme leader of iran said hes not optimistic there would be a deal and he wouldnt allow inspections. in the blue print that the united states provided those would have been a part of this deal. how big of a blow is that for y...
