Today on the Dish we discovered that Iran has been hiding a not-so-secret facility. Andrew interpreted Obama's revelation as part of a masterful strategy to isolate Ahmadi. (And Russia seemed to bite already.) Mark Lynch and a Dish reader had some good follow-up. Meanwhile, Kristol and Co. embarrassed themselves, and a reader kicked them for good measure.
Rounding out foreign policy, Gary Sick assessed the upcoming negotiations with Iran, Tom Ricks gauged Petraeus on Iraq, and Haaretz and Juan Cole punctured Bibi's speech to the UN. Andrew critically recommended Brooks' latest on Afghanistan and put two cents on the public option. In conservatism death watch, Damon Linker digested the new book by Tanenhaus, Frum went another round with Horowitz, a reader offered a smart assessment of race and culture, and the Birther right crawled to late night.
Rounding out the wrap, Friedersdorf and Will Wilson tussled over loyalty, Ed Schultz auditioned to become the liberal Beck, and Michael Leeden lost it. Oh, and this ad was pretty cool.
