Vice-President Cheney is itching to attach Iran. Problem is: a highly classified assessement from the C.I.A. found no conclusive evidence that Iran is close to building a nuclear weapon. It seems that Dick Cheney has seen this top-secret report from the C.I.A. and did NOT like it. He is now dreaming up ways of deceiving and fooling the American people into believing that Iran is ready to unleash a nuclear cloud over Kansas.
Have we not been there before? I cannot believe that Cheney would try the same trick twice. Thankfully, his partner in crime, Rumsfeld, is out, replaced by Robert Gates, former director of Central Intelligence. He is unlikely to ignore reports from his former agency.
Of course, Iran’s President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is a nut-job. He loves to taunt the U.S. and the Bush Administration with the progress of his country's plutonium enrichment research program. We need to watch him like hawks. Of course Iran's ultimate goal is to posess nuclear arms. But if the C.I.A. reports that they have not managed to get very far in that process, we have time for diplomacy. Lets watch Cheney like hawks instead. He truly is a very dangerous man!
Do yourselves a favor and follow this link to the article " The Next Act" in this week's New Yorker. It is written by Seymour M. Hersh. It is excellent and you NEED to read it.
