A little guts here, please

You know, if the Democrats let themselves be rolled over again and allow this maniac to go to war with Iran, they deserve to be dumped on the ashheap of history once and for all.

President Bush’s national security advisers have ordered a delay in publication of evidence intended to support Washington’s contention that Iran supplies lethal technology and other aid to militias in Iraq, senior administration officials said Thursday.

The decision was described by officials who were struggling to explain why American officials in Baghdad have twice canceled plans to present the evidence, delays that have raised questions about the quality of the intelligence.

Some administration officials said there was a continuing debate about how well the information proved the Bush administration’s case.

Well, no kidding. When has there ever been intelligence this Administration used that wasn't flawed and meant only to press its case, rather than be used to accurately assess threats?

And this is priceless:

“We don’t want to create the impression that we are steaming toward confrontation,” said one senior State Department official familiar with the debate. “Some people are worried about how quickly the rhetoric has ratcheted up.”

Once again, it seems the State Department isn't on the same page as the White House. The latter wants a confrontation, just like four years ago. Condi, your boys just aren't with the program.

Good grief. Can we survive two more years with these lunatics in charge?

It is unfortunate that, having lost much credibility in its use of intelligence, the body politic ( and the MSM) may choose to ignore what likely is the real threay in that region.

We are indeed in a proxy war with the mullahs in Iran. Should we just leave and give them free reign?

Perhaps . . . .

Some people are worried about how quickly the rhetoric has ratcheted up.

As Mad Magazine's iconic character once said, with a nuclear mushroom in the background:

"What, me worry?"
