Once again, I figured I'd take a stab at trying to read one of the more popular left-wing bloggers without getting my blood pressure up.

So much for that...

Pentagon/Israel Spying Case Expands - Fomenting a War on Iran

It is an echo of the one-two punch secretly planned by the pro-Likud faction in the Department of Defense. First, Iraq would be taken out by the United States, and then Iran. David Wurmser, a key member of the group, also wanted Syria included. These pro-Likud intellectuals concluded that 9/11 would give them carte blanche to use the Pentagon as Israel's Gurkha regiment, fighting elective wars on behalf of Tel Aviv (not wars that really needed to be fought, but wars that the Likud coalition thought it would be nice to see fought so as to increase Israel's ability to annex land and act aggressively, especially if someone else's boys did the dying).

Thanks, Juan Cole for reminding me why I need to vote for Bush/Cheney. I feel sick to my stomach that the vast majority of my co-religinists want to put the people in power who will give voice to opinion makers like this. People like Pat Buchanan, as much as he thinks the same, was never so direct and has been practically stripped of any power in the Republican party.
