CNN: I spy Israel

From a report on P5+1/Iran negotiations:

The current talks involve delegations from Iran and the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council -- the United States, Russia, China, Great Britain and France -- plus Germany in what is known as the P5+1. Israel is also participating in the talks.
Yeah, and the Israeli delegation is all the rage recently in Tehran. The excited crowds can't seem to be able to stop throwing rice, flowers and candy at the Zionist En State delegation members...

The logic at the time was that Saddam could be knocked off relatively easily whereas the mullahs were more solidly entrenched, and the ouster of Saddam might incourage anti-ayatollah Iranians to rise up, which they did try to do not long after the invasion and again in 2009.

Right as you are, the logic of blaming that "previous administration" started to get up my nose quite some time ago.
