46. Last try.
First, you are the one who boiled down Clark's plan to "hoping for Iran's help". Why am I not surprised by your need to oversimplify? I concede that "hoping for Iran's help" can be said with four words, and that the sentance is clear, though wildly misleading in it's over simplicity.

Second. You haven't answered any of my questions to you thoroughly, it gets annoying to come onto your thread for seemingly the sole purpose of getting grilled by you in a one way only exchange.

Third. Are you really so naive as to not have any understanding whatsoever of the concept of and need for contengency planning? If what you are looking for is a President who is so absolutely confident that their first plan can not conceivably fail, under any circumstances, that they refuse to even consider any other possible outcome, than take a look in the White House now, I think you'll find him there.

Fourth. Clark has a plan and he's talked freely and openly about his plan. He's written Op-Eds, he's gone on the radio, he's been interviewed by newspapers. There is nothing secret about Clark's plan for Christ's sake. If you are already all bent out of shape about a plan that can't be wrapped up simply in 100 words, I can't imagine how you would react to anyone trying to present "a plan" that laid out in advance, step by step, how every possible variation for the results of taking each step in the initial plan would play out in the next updated scenario. The hypothetical scenarios we can dream up to talk about here are all two dimensional, we will never nail down all of the real variables in play, and how they might interact with each other. That is why human beings make command decisions in our government rather than the computer on Star Ship Enterprise.

I'll tell you one thing, if Denis Kucinich is ever elected President I promis you he will not make the Presidency into a reality TV broadcast with a live 24 hour internet feed for all of his private deliberations, to be broadcast not only to the American voters, but to public and private citizens in Russia, China, Syria, Iran, India and Pakistan also.
