Ackerman highlights this paragraph from Gen. McChrystal's remarks in London:
Iran, of course, being, you know, in such proximity to Afghanistan and having significant influence inside Afghanistan, is a big player. They, in my view, they have a lot of very positive influence inside Afghanistan, some of it cultural, some of it financial, just things that any neighbor would have to try to build the stability. I think that if Iran takes a very mature look at a stable Afghanistan and support the government of Afghanistan, then we’ll be — we’ll be in good shape. If they were to choose not to do that, and they were to choose to support insurgents, I think that would be a significant miscalculation.
Ackerman swipes:
I can’t wait for the braying conservative outcry against McChrystal’s craven appeasement of the butchers of Tehran or whatever.
