Tuesday morning warmongering....

I realize that from time to time, the absurdity of the Bush administration borders on the comic, but we need to keep in mind that the stakes are incredibly high, and that young men and women are dying for no good reason. Further, these folks are not only committed to keeping this madness going until school is out and they can replenish the old coffers, but they are committed to extending their discredited neo con agenda into Iran.

There is a special place in hell for bloodthirsty old men like Norman Podhoretz. As Atrios says:

I know it's impossible for any of our elite press to actually consider news events from an alternative perspective, but it'd be nice to think for a few minutes about how Iranians - and their leaders - react when "is the US about to bomb the shit out of Iran" is a fairly regular topic of conversation in our media.

and those nuclear warheads that were mistakenly flown across the United States last month, landing at the take off point for B52 missions to the middle east? Larry Johnson calls bullshit on the notion that this could have been a simple screw up.
