Iranian Revolutionary guard as opposed to nuclear sites. Ending by saying it would be a 20 year war with involvement including Pakistan and other countries. No link up yet. I'll post the transcript when it comes up.

Said the navy would play a larger role hence the change in Joint chiefs to a Naval Officer. Said the navy is already there flying practice missions in Iraq, all they would have to do is change directions on command.

1. heard him last night on KO-- and also perino's nasty little comment about him

10. Thanks for the link. The Far Right is completely in charge...
and there is no opposition. They know it, we know it; in fact, they would be remiss in NOT attacking Iran in order to better carry out the first of the Right's long-term goals: entrenched and indefinite military presence in the Mid-East. (The other goal is to consolidate and centralize military and local police powers in this country.)

Progressives, forever fascinated with the "power" of the Internet, may now discover how community-destroying it has been so far. They are going to get a lesson in how much smarter, better organized, energetic and aggressive the Far Right is when they attack Iran, then hussle in front of progressives and ask: "Watcha gonna do 'bout it, wimp?"

That's why the Far Right doesn't give a rat's ass about transitory electoral problems the GOP might have.

4. This Iran talk is starting to piss me off.
busholini wants to start WW III. It is all fear and war mongering. Iran has had updated notices about where/how the US plans to bomb. Does Dear Leader think that they have not planned for it. Does he think they have not planned a reaction or counterattack.

I guess that is what he wants.

5. The grand plan seems to be working well.
First you get the Congress to formally call the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization, then you go after the terrorists. Why are we all so convinced Shrub is stupid? He seems to be getting what he wants pretty easily.

6. You know * will use the Kyl Lieberman vote for justification regardless if it is not binding

Hersh talked about how after the summer the WH has tried to blame IEDs and other weapons used on our troops on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard (despite Rumsfeld et al's earlier arming of Iraq under Saddam).

9. Just a quick correction
It's actually IED's. Although I'd imagine hardcore Islam isn't too found of IUD's either.

11. Thank you, thank you! The "stupidity" charge is a lefty cultural sneer, nothing more.

16. Everytime time I think the public is finally waking up,
they keep chewing their cud. Their narcoleptic tendencies amaze me.

Fox news is running special reports on Iran and terrorism this week. Fox gets it's orders directly from the White House, no joke (see Roger Ailes). So their intentions are to go to war. They just haven't figured out the excuse yet.
