Iran NIE a game-changer... NOT! (part 6, I believe)

When the U.S. Intelligence community released its latest assessment of Iran back in late November 2007, it was hailed as a "game-changer", providing no basis for W and his minions to continue to spout bellicose threats against Iran.

At the time I observed:

Change the game? Come on folks, this is the W Administration! Let's not be too quick to forget their history!

Noting that W had treated the Baker-Hamilton Iraq Study Group report as a quaint, historical document the day it was released, I assumed - correctly, as it turns out - that W would be equally dismissive of the Iran NIE.

The past several weeks have seen W's anti-Iran rhetoric ramping up. Even Iran's constructive intervention in brokering the recent Basra cease-fire is interpreted simply as "interference" in Iraq.

W has proclaimed Iran to be one of the two great threats facing this country in this new century.

Ambassador Crocker has cited Iran's continuing interference in Iraq as a continuing destabilizing force.

If we've not attacked Iran by Oct 2008, I'll be truly surprised!

Stop the madness!
