Well, I tried to read it. It didn't "Wow" me.

I've been saying for years America has been surrounding Iran.

It's two borders are Afghanistan and Iraq, where I assume we'll have permanent bases.

We've surrounded them.

Did we have to lie to the general public about what we're doing? Sure. I don't think announcing this strategy to the world would have gone over any better than the WMD thing.

So there you have it.

There are about 15 different factors that led to all this.

You need to look at them all. It's pretty complex.

If you want to summarize the article for me, and discuss that particularly, I'm game.
