Iran Gets Its Own Archive Category
Jim Henley has a masterful post on our ongoing shenanigans in Iran. Go read it right now. To whet your appetites:
Here’s where my impulse is to say, “passing lightly over the utter moral bankruptcy of using terrorists to conduct ‘operations’ in Iraq[sic],” but let’s not. Let’s dwell for a second. The Bush Administration has nothing against terrorism per se. You may, but they don’t. The high-sounding rhetoric they pump us up with means nothing to them in practice. I don’t know if they actually snigger behind our backs or if they just dissociate. It doesn’t really matter.
Key factoid: looks like the Vice President and Rumsfeld have once again brought in veteran intriguer Manucher Ghorbanifar to help us out with the Iranians. Laugh or cry, as you will.
