Two former high-ranking policy experts from the Bush Administration say the U.S. has been gearing up for a war with Iran for years, despite claiming otherwise. It'll be Iraq all over again.
Rudy!

josh marshall must have found his i heart gore/lieberman pin this morning and pined for the days when he would have fellated gores 2000 presidential campaign handlers given half the chance. as i vividly recall, gore ran shrieking away from his "liberal" environmentalism, not on it. and there was that thing about not winning his home state and refusing to embrace the successes and the aid of his predecessor during the campaign. which is not to say nader hasnt lost his luster in the intervening years but to continually blame him for gores failings, and the media heathers who lambasted him at every turn, is tiresome.

Comment of the Day
During WWII, the Maqui (French Freedom Fighters) would set charges under the tracks of the trains carrying war material. They'd set the charges and watch. The train would round a bend, the charges would ignite. The train, too late to stop, would hit that damage. Momentum would carry it forward, spilling cargo and people, the line of cars falling off the tracks would crash into the preceding car. Accordionlike the entire lie would eventually be a smoldering pile of debris.
