...handle Iran by diplomacy, much to the chagrin of those who wanted to turn it into a sheet of glass. But he is putting boots on the ground in Syria. Syria is on that list. And there is always plenty being said about N. Korea, which they seem to be saving for last, since it's going to be a whole other animal in a whole other theater.
