Known Leftist Seymour Hersh writes in todays New Yorker that the Bush Administration is conducting covert, behind-the-scenes exercises aimed at fine tuning a strategy to attack Iran. As usual, his goal is to set off as many alarms as possible while peppering his paragraphs with the typical liberal word play. No need to read the thing though. I can digest it for you right here.
1. Bush is trying to pull an “Iraq” again.
2. He must be stopped.
3. Iran isn’t evil. George W. Bush is.
For most liberals, it’s really that simple. Pre-emptive planning in case we have to go to war with yet another crazed dictator is mean, hurtful, and wrong. Pacifism is where it’s at. But if you have to get tough, you go to the U.N. Period.
The U.S. must do everything in its power to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. If we sit this one out and let the U.N., the French, the Germans and Russians deal with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Israel is doomed, radical islamism will once again start its ugly spread, and the U.S. will be the target of constant terrorist attacks.
This is why I’ll support President Bush if he decides that Ahmadinejad must go.
“If we sit this one out…”
Strawman much?
If the mullahs tried to nuke Israel, it’d be the end of them entirely. They’re not gonna try.
All that notwithstanding, I don’t see how we have the moral upper hand by insisting that we be the first to kill thousands of citizens unprovoked.
You Bushian nutjobs have gotta get out of power. Beyond being childish, your plans will ruin this country. You may hate America enough to do that, but our fine citizens won’t let you. I have confidence in that.
The fact is that either we choose to allow the Islamic Republic of Iran to develop the nuclear system that would allow for nuclear weapons or we don’t. Bring on the apocalyptic rhetoric.:)
“You Bushian nutjobs have gotta get out of power. ”
If the democrats would stop having abortions, you could breed your own voters with your ‘morals’ just like like we do. Though, the Dems plan B is nice, offer amnesty to illegals (in which Bush and other Cons are hedging their bets.)
The only way for Dems to get back to power is if you could find an anti abortion, anti gay marriage, pro judeo-christian Democrat, most likely Southern.
The REALLY funny thing is that used to describe…
Al Gore B.B. (before Bubba.)
