Hersh: ‘Bush And Cheney’s Wet Dream Is Hitting Iran’


In February, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh wrote a piece in The New Yorker revealing that the Bush administration was setting its sights heavily on Iran, planning for a “possible bombing attack“:

Still, the Pentagon is continuing intensive planning for a possible bombing attack on Iran, a process that began last year, at the direction of the President. In recent months, the former intelligence official told me, a special planning group has been established in the offices of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, charged with creating a contingency bombing plan for Iran that can be implemented, upon orders from the President, within twenty-four hours.

Yesterday, Hersh spoke more on the Bush administration’s focus on Iran at the Campus Progress National Conference. He said that President Bush and Vice President Cheney are ignoring the actual intelligence on Iran. The “intelligence community keeps on saying, ‘There’s no bomb there.’ And Cheney keeps on saying to the young briefing officers, ‘Thank you son, I don’t buy that.’” Hersh added, “George Bush’s and Dick Cheney’s wet dream is hitting Iran.”

Hersh also stated that Bush likes to compare himself to Winston Churchill. Sources close to the President have heard him “say things like, ‘It’ll be 20 years before they appreciate me. … Yes, I may be at 30 percent in the polls, but in 20 or 30 years, they’ll appreciate what I’ve done.’”

:scared:
:puke:

But what's worse, a president and VP who are crazy, stupid criminals, or a congress that refuses to do anything about it?

(since he's rendered impotent) so he has to settle for starting World Wars to get his rocks off now.

and the attack was supposed to happen in June 2006.

I do believe Cheney is pushing for attacking Iran, but I don't think Hersch has any more credible insight into it than attentive DU'ers. It's not that I don't like Hersch, but "Wolf!" just doesn't mean anything anymore.

realized they were in trouble. An attack would have made things worse for the GOP. I never thought that if they were going to invade Iran, it would be before the election. I believe now they won't because the military is restless. They know we would get handed our asses if we moved against Iran. Our Army is hollow, it is crippled, it is broken.

we have these madmen in the admin bent on attacking Iran to possibly begin WW III and Speaker Pelosi and senator Reid with impeachment off the table who are ignoring the constitution in doing so .

All we have are the pages not yet torn out of the constitution and pissed on and a stacked supreme court . Perfect .

New sign on the Presidential limo, WWIII or Bust.
