Could it be any clearer that Bush is just looking for some reason, any reason, to get into an all-out war with Iran? First we move a second carrier group into the gulf. Then we raid an Iranian embassy. Bush and his cronies are out in the streets beating the war drums against Iran.
Now the Pentagon is saying that a recent attack was carried out by Iranians. Oh, really? I wouldn't trust these guys as far as I could throw them. And I think they know that 70% of Americans share that position.
What I find most galling is that they don't even seem to give a shit that we all know it's another 'Gulf of Tonkin' incident. (Actually, it's not even that good. It's just a joke.) Clearly the staging for the Iraq war was complete bullshit. But they got away with that. These guys know that they can use the right wing spin machine to throw up enough dust to keep the opposition occupied while they try and bring about a third world war in the Middle East. Joy.
