Carl Levin – neocon?? Well not really. He’s just right!

Democrat Senator Carl Levin seems to have had an epiphany. During the recent armed services committee hearing, he said: “I think we ought to take action on all fronts including Syria and any other source of weapons coming in, obviously Iran is the focus – but it shouldn’t be the sole focus.”

I’m mostly going to keep [...]
