Inqy bashing
K:
Headline in this morning's Inquirer: U.S.: Iran hikes militia support. Shit we're used to hearing, albeit with modifications. Used to be "Iran supports Muqtada al-Sadr," and now al-Sayyid himself is beyond reproach, but Iran is still -- doing what exactly, funding? training? arming? feeding? -- supporting special groups. Conventional wisdom: Iran is the problem. I mean, despite the fact that SIIC -- formerly the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iran -- is Maliki's party, their militia the Badr is without any dispute trained in Iran; Iran brokered the Basra ceasefire; the last thing they want is for the Maliki government to fall, etc.
Nevermind. The new conventional wisdom is heightened support. Right under the AP's scaremongering set-up, "Iran's role has been one of the complicating factors," the secdef says:
New Inquirer headline: SecDef: "Wait, Whose House Is This?"
Some historical matter. Clearly war with Iran will solve all our problems. Clean up human rights abuses, fix the border, protect unborn Christian babies, etc.:

"I think that there is some sense of an increased level of supply of weapons andSome sense, but I just don't know...like the drunk everybody believes, because listening to him is harmless; just let the man prattle on. Here's another. Take it easy. Anyway, it's a lot easier than listening to Rick Santorum. Gates is the guy who wakes up on your porch the next day talking to himself in a puddle of piss.

- "Bob Casey is aiding and abetting terrorism and genocide."
- Holy shit he lost the election and he's still at it.
- "Terrorists, trying to enter our country, yet Casey comes out for amnesty for illegal aliens."
And I remember the "Democrats Will Not Protect You From Osama Bin Laden" flyers from 2004 getting trotted out for 2006...but I don't have an image yet...
Anyway, I thought this shit was old hat. I mean, Sy Hersh hasn't written a piece on impending war with Iran since, what last April?
