In the most horrifying instance, Iranian cleric Alireza Forghani–who, there is reason to believe, spoke with the approval of Iran’s rulers–vowed that in case of an attack on Assad:More here at Powerline. Apparently Obama wants to spread the wealth of possible murders around to Republicans and those who approved the strike.
