Re: Watch out for the media selling an Iran war, the coming weeks
LOL - funny joke.
WSJ will get on board of course because it's now a Murdoch owned company, amongst other things.
I read the article a couple weeks ago, but rather then put my faith in things like those rumors, I take note of things like an extra 50 billion requested for defense the war on terror that Gates is left out of the loop about, the 2nd aircraft carrier that went to the gulf months ago (allowing 7x24 ops) as well as some rumors from folks on those carriers.
That and the imminent departure of some of Dubya's closest advisers suggests that in the struggle for the heart and soul of GWB that Cheney has won. Cheney wants Iran hit hard and has been the biggest pusher for it.
the Iranians are generally pro-American - they just have an idiot for a leader right now - one sympathizes. But like 9/11, a hit on Iran will solidify them behind their idiot democratically elected leaders.
I would NOT want to be a soldier in Iraq when this goes down.
