I have blogged about the Three Day Plan to bomb Iran. I have mentioned that the Republican pundits keep talking about Iran as if it is the most dangerous adversary we have, even though the whole world has turned against us and the nuclear club is growing weekly.
And now, even though I had almost convinced myself that it would not happen, the Iran invasion plan is once again a hot issue on the Internet.
You can see the newest scuttlebutt here.
It seems that Bush has a new Iran "expert" who is willing to tell him what he wants to believe about Iran. Here is a sample of how tortured his logic is:
Lopez: So does bin Laden and crew work for Iran? Have they always?
Ledeen: I don’t know about “always.” Certainly they have worked closely with Iran for quite a while. I think the Iranian domination of al Qaeda started when we destroyed al Qaeda in Afghanistan. The key leaders ran to Iran and have mostly been there ever since.
Lopez: Was Iran involved in 9/11?
Ledeen: I don’t know. It’s possible, but certainly unproven. The most tantalizing factoid is the story of Ramzi bin al Shibh, the logistics officer for the 9/11 operation. He went to Iran for a month in late December, 2000, and then he returned to Iran less than a week before 9/11.
Does that sound familiar? Do any of you remember Curveball, and his disastrous information that led the Bush administration to believe that Saddam Hussein had WMD's hidden in the desert?
The question for all of us is are we going to allow it to happen again? If your answer is NO, then you can call the Capitol switchboard at 202-225-3121 and tell your representative that we are not asleep this time and we do not support going to war with Iran.
P.S. Here is more from Fox News. They are laying the blame on Germany for not supporitng sanctions against Iran.
