Sleepwalking to disaster in Iran - Scott Ritter

Late last year, in the aftermath of the 2004 Presidential election, I was contacted by someone close to the Bush administration about the situation in Iraq.

There was a growing concern inside the Bush administration, this source said, about the direction the occupation was
going.

The Bush administration was keen on achieving some semblance of stability in Iraq before June 2005, I was told.

1. On Tuesday, Sy Hersh said that Iran was "teed up."

Which coincides with Ritter's essay....

4. i have a feeling that if they try to use nukes, bush and his pals will

be out of office so fast their heads will spin.

a lot of republicans have had it with bush but are too p*ssy (as most republicans tend to be) to stand up to him.

but the use of nuclear weapons crosses a mighty big line. and i think if he were to try something like that, old-time republicans, big money, and republicans who just enjoy tough talk will turn on him and his neo-con bunch in a heartbeat. not to mention those of us on this side of the aisle who would probably storm the white house with pitchforks.

maybe i'm naive, but i believe if bush did something like that, what the people of italy did to mussolini would be nothing.
