Adding Insult to Injury

Iran's little friend gassed hundreds of Syrians. So we are debating what minimum retaliation we have to do to salvage our reputation after warning Assad not to cross that "red line." Perhaps the Iranians will give lessons.

Did the Iranians warn us against intervention in Syria using this language on purpose to be insulting?

The semi-official Fars news agency, which has close ties to Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard, quotes Gen. Masoud Jazayeri as warning that "trespassing over the red line in Syria will have severe consequences for the White House."

We'll see if Iran is better at watching red lines than we are.
