This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. 

The passing of Dr. Michael Ledeen at any time would be a terrible loss for our country. His myriad brilliant books and countless essays on foreign policy amounted to a national treasure.

Surpassingly invaluable were his analyses of the regime that has misruled the people of Iran and threatened ours for over four decades. He tirelessly argued against negotiating with, and thereby legitimizing and even propping up, the mullahs in favor of helping long-suffering Iranians remove them from power, often exhorting that we do so “faster.”

Such counsel is especially needed now as the Trump team actively pursues yet-another “deal” with the ayatollahs. Michael would likely urge Israel to exercise the only option that can actually keep them from getting the Bomb: namely, disrupting the regime’s security apparatus, enabling the Iranian people to liberate themselves, and do it faster.  

So should we.
