“There is a desperate effort by Cheney et al. to bring military action to Iran as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the politicians are saying, ‘You can’t do it, because every Republican is going to be defeated, and we’re only one fact from going over the cliff in Iraq.’ But Cheney doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the Republican worries, and neither does the President.”

Bryan Whitman, a Pentagon spokesman, said, “The President has made it clear that the United States government remains committed to a diplomatic solution with respect to Iran. The State Department is working diligently along with the international community to address our broad range of concerns.”

"I was repeatedly cautioned, in interviews, that the President has yet to issue the “execute order” that would be required for a military operation inside Iran, and such an order may never be issued. But there has been a significant increase in the tempo of attack planning. In mid-August, senior officials told reporters that th

Could it be that the Americans are actually waking up?
I felt so good when I got my Email from MoveOn.org regarding Lieberman. All the phone calls and Emails I sent did their tiny part in effecting change.

When I read "that as a result there is not enough popular support for a major bombing campaign" I was surprised as I'd expected that he didn't take accout of public opinion.

Then I read "the politicians are saying, ‘You can’t do it, because every Republican is going to be defeated, and we’re only one fact from going over the cliff in Iraq.’ But Cheney doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the Republican worries, and neither does the President.” and so I was back on track.

He doesn't care a rat's ass about Republicans but maybe just a maybe , he may car about his place in history. That brings us to the important question. DOES HE KNOW THAT HE IS THE WORST EVER? If he has any clue then it's curtain...

They did remove his battery. It didn't work.
Seems like an election ploy. Threaten invasion, pretend to observe the wishes of the public, and withdraw the threat with a well placed leak, and suggest a reform in attitude. Stall without framing a specific policy that could be monitored by congress, or the public, and deal with Iran when they're re-elected. I have no doubt the republicans expect to be re-elected one way or another.

Screw all these TV talking heads and propaganda opinions. The next round of voting in the USA will devastate the Republican party, if not destroy them forever.

These politicians live in a bubble in DC and their world view is all distorted by cash contributions.

This war, these wars, are wrong and evil from the start and wrong and evil from A to Z and Lots of people are active and strongly against it i's just they don't get the media coverage given to the zionist and neo-con propagandist and their puppet politicians who'd like us to believe ongoing war for years and years is a grim reality. Screw them.

USA people are mainly decent and patient but the fuse, the reality is a ticking time bom...

Hersh has a pretty good track record, better than Fox News.

Are you still used those paper trail-less voting machine? If so, well don't be too sure of victory if it is anyway close. IMO, they were an important factor in 2004.
