Don't relax. Don't let your guard down. Bush is still going to attack Iran
A clarification regarding my previous entry: the Kos diary I linked to has been removed and is believed to be a hoax regarding specific claims about military preparations.
But a hoax diary changes nothing. Bush and Cheney plan on attacking Iran, and are rolling out the war wagons just like they did in 2002. Same tactics, different country.
Barnett Rubin knows what the hell he's talking about.

So does Glenn Greenwald.

So does Seymour Hersh.

Insane? Yes. But Bush is so far down in the hole, he feels he has nothing left to lose. Attacking Iran is his one last chance to prove to the world and to history that he was Right, By God.
And god help us, I don't know how we can stop him.
ETA: Rep. Lloyd Doggett, my Rep, is one of the co-sponsors of HR 770, which would prohibit the funding of military action against Iran in the absence of an imminent threat.
