Hersh: ‘Bush And Cheney’s Wet Dream Is Hitting Iran’
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.” Listen to Hersh’s remarks here:


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.’”

1. jr is insane. He should be removed and provided housing where he can not hurt himself or others.
Or at least sent to Gen Pop with a roommate named Jesus.

3. Yep. Just like Churchill.
Nobody really appreciated him until the 1970s.

4. Well he has a point...
...in 20 or 30 years, we'll *really* "appreciate" (as in "understand") what he and his cronies have done to this once-great Republic.
