Glen, if Iran has the means–do they? Is the means the combination of their atom bomb and the tardis they’re going to steal from Galifrey, or is it those eeeevil super terrorists that Republicans can’t catch?–the motive, and the opportunity–why, it’s perfect! Nobody’s paying any attention to them at all!–and they have not committed the crime, then hmmm, maybe–just maybe, they’re not guilty–of whatever.

Apparently he's got nothing on Glenn Beck. Beck's reasoning is that because Iran has means, motive, and opportunity, they are guilty. Before they've even done anything. Therefore, we must destroy them. Of course, we have the means, motive, and opportunity to destroy Iraq. Or, for that matter, just about any country in the Middle East. Did Beck explain how we differ from Iran? I thought Rush Limbaugh was the one on drugs. Apparently he’s got nothing on Glenn Beck.
