Reply #46: I thought so, too-- [View All]

Until Sy Hersh and now Ritter started writing about Bushco's plans to invade Iran. Hersh is the only real investigative reporter left (he just won a Peabody for his work on Abu Ghraib), and a lot of his sources have been talking to him for twenty years. If he says Bush plans to attack Iran, I believe him. Ritter's no slouch, either--he's been right about Bushco every time he's spoken publicly about them. The fact that they launched a major smear campaign against him only enhances his credibility, if you ask me. What Hersh says, though, is that Bush plans to bomb nuclear and military sites in Iran--he doesn't talk about a ground-force invasion. An invasion per se would require a draft, and I think that's the neocons' last resort. Let's not forget, though, that the American people sat still for the Vietnam draft for five years--it wasn't until the draft reached into the white middle class that protests began in earnest.
