On the Radio Today With Dave From First State Politics and Muqtedar Khan

Dr. Muqtedar Khan is a middle east expert and an assistant professor at the University of Delaware and a non-resident fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington. In a recent editorial he wrote:

"Iran, thanks to America's foolhardy adventure in Iraq, is rapidly emerging as a regional power. It is protecting itself from America's pressure on the nuclear issue by creating a dangerous diversion."

So here is my question for Dr. Khan

Israel, out of necessity, has a very robust intelligence operation. Why did the Israeli leadership decide to allow George Bush to invade Iraq knowing that the intelligence pointing to an Iraq WMD program was dubious at best and completely bogus at worst?

Follow-up

In a way, do you believe that they are now paying a price for making that decision?

UPDATE:Kahn's best line came after we went off the air.

Dace said something ike, "What we need is another JFK type President to make oil a second class energy by having a sort of apollo program for hydrogen, or fuel cells."


Prof. Kahn said, "I agree 100% We need another Democratic President like JFK."

Comments:
I'd be curious to hear the answer to the first question, alas I can't get WILM in my office. Can you give us a summation of his response?
 
I've read some of Khan's dreck before. And it's pretty much all garbage.
 
hmm, JFK cut taxes and was a HAWK on defense... doesn't sound like any dem running today or in 08.
 
Mike M got any links? is his "dreck" online?
 
I think you used anti-semetic when you meant anti-Israel.

Anyway, I found him to be very rational and a strong supporter of Israeli's right to live happy, unmolested lives within the 1967 bounderies.
 
Nope...I know the distinction between the two. Others may not, but I do.
 
Very pretty design! Keep up the good work. Thanks.
