Jake,
You are right. We should be more generic, like giving all our allies in the region all the means they need to defend themselves against any Iranian provocation, threat or attack.
If you want to talk now about BDS I am up. You could call at either 202-549-4454 or 202-549-5776.
Thanks and best wishes,
Stu

Stu - I would characterize the terms of the deal a bit differently from how you have, but my bottom line is the same as yours. My only question about your six points at the bottom is whether we should go there on bunker busters.
