It seems Paul Krugman has jumped on your bandwagon too In NYT OP=Ed pages on April 10, 2006. So far it still reads more like speculation than confirmation of an actual policy decision.

Nevertheless, at your request, I continue with my never ending, obviously biased (is there any other kind?) political limericks.

It’s becoming much clearer each day,
Good King George thinks he can bomb away,
Iraqi concerns,
Election returns,
Building empire’s not easy, they say.

Hersch addressed this issue today on CNN. He’s done his research, including the theological aspects of Dominion Theology. So far the man has been ‘right on’. I’ll read the full story later, but knowing the history of this administration, I tend to believe Hersch. His credibility far outweights anyone else in Washington’s Axis of Evil (Bush and the gang.) Cheers!

THE IRAN PLANS
by SEYMOUR M. HERSH
Would President Bush go to war to stop Tehran from getting the bomb?

The only relavent questions is:

Should (fill in the blank) go to war to stop Tehran from getting the bomb.

One little spelling change from a “W” to an “S”………..

M-A, it’s possible the administration are betting that duplicating the construct they built for the war in Iraq is just a way to bluff the Iranians into thinking Bush is crazier than the Ayatollahs are, but does anyone actually need proof at this point? My take is that people in the administration and the military are talking this up because they think Bush is really considering the notion and they want to short-circuit the loop the way they didn’t do with Iraq.

flyrcsw: The theory that killing large numbers of people will cause them to embrace you hasn’t proved out real well in Iraq, even without nuclear weapons. And the UN will never, ever sanction an invasion of Iran, nor are any of our allies prepared to contribute to an invasion force, nor do we have the resources to mount an invasion; hence all the talk of bombing.

Dr. Majid: I’m not justifying the Islamic regime, and neither do I hate Bush; I just think he’s a dangerous maniac, and whether or not he could win an election in Iran, I wouldn’t wish him on that country, most especially if they’re anywhere near developing nuclear weapons.
