Hugh Hewitt interviewed retired USAF Vice-Chief of Staff, General Thomas McInerney, on how the US could eliminate Iran's nuclear threat. On the way, he demolishes one of the chicken-doves favorite arguments:

HH: General, one of the objections from political columnists is that Iran's regime won't be toppled by (a quick strike option), and that they will strike back using Hezbollah around the globe, and specifically against our forces in Iraq. Your response?

TM: Yes, remember that what they were going to do when we went into Iraq? The Arab street was going to rise up?

HH: Exactly.

TM: Look, this is bull hockey.
