Telegraph 9/16: "Bush setting America up for war with Iran"

Oh, lovely.  A rare look inside the gut-wrenchingly Soviet manipulations of the Bush administration today, as we find that "Senior American intelligence and defence officials believe that President George W Bush and his inner circle are taking steps to place America on the path to war with Iran".

What?  Is this even America any more?  Parts of the government don't know what the people in power will do about taking us to war or not?  This is sad commentary on the ruination of a great nation, isn't it?  It is exactly the same as if, in the 80's, we had read something like, "Senior Kremlin officials belive that Premier Gorbachev and his inner circle are taking steps to place the Soviet Union on the path to war with Iran."  And we would have marvelled at the corruption that allows a communist and authoritarian nation to override the interests of its people so...

And then there's this: "Now it has emerged that Condoleezza Rice, the secretary of state, who has been pushing for a diplomatic solution, is prepared to settle her differences with Vice-President Dick Cheney and sanction military action."

The Secretary of State of the United States of America is prepared to settle her differences with the Vice-President in order to -- effectively -- declare war on a sovereign nation without the involvement of Congress at all.  Why do I say this?  Because they've already laid the groundwork with Senator Liebermann's little bill last month, and they've established it as (manufactured) fact that Iran is all that's stopping us from succeeding in our Glorious War in Iraq.  Clever little bastards.

That's enough to allow them to bomb Iran.  And Iran will then surely greet us with flowers, just like Iraq!

Oh, there's more I could say about this article, lots and lots more.  But I have a deadline tomorrow.  If the Spirit moves, I'll update it or something.  Good night and good luck.
