Yesterday it was Sy Hersh explaining that the Bush administration is funneling money to radical Sunni groups to combat Iranian Shiite influence as the DoD draws up a 24-hour rapid attack strategy.
"The Saudis and some in the Administration have been arguing that the biggest threat is Iran and the Sunni radicals are the lesser enemies. This is a victory for the Saudi line."
Today it's news that Pakistan has dismissed the ideaof doing any more to catch bin Laden or rein in terrorists within their borders while test firing a ballistic missilewith a 1,200 mile range. The missile is nuclear capable.
So the nation with no nukes that had nothing to do with 9/11 is in our American crosshairs, and the nation with oodles of nukes harboring Osama bin Laden gets a soft-mouthed visit from Dick Cheney.
This is wrong. Very, very wrong.
Our elected Democratic representatives have a responsibility to get the Bush administration on a leash before they release the hounds of war on Iran. Without some overt cock blocking, the neocon nightmare will metastisize as we sit counting our first hundred days.
