Lieberman: Can’t We Do Iran Yet?

No, Joe.

Well, then again, maybe. Via (**cough**) Fox “News”. Get a load of the language in this article.

A recent decision by German officials to withhold support for any new sanctions against Iran has pushed a broad spectrum of officials in Washington to develop potential scenarios for a military attack on the Islamic regime, FOX News confirmed Tuesday. (snip) The Bush administration “has just about had it with Iran,” said one foreign diplomat. “They tried the diplomatic process. China is now obstructing them at the U.N.

But don’t you love it? A Broad spectrum of officials. Alternatives. Yeah, like rousing Iranian nationalism is such a terrific idea. Cheney is “gloating.” Yep, that’s Deadeye, always so very mature about invading other countries and stringing our troops out.

However, let’s get serious for a moment. They’re trying to give cover for the clusterwhack they created in Iraq. It’s so obvious. Though it’s likely Cheney just wants to do Iran for grins. It’s his phase II (and they’re running out of time) after Iraq, which they’ll dump in the Democrats’ lap, or Bush’s successor who will gladly keep it going; either way the boss is off the hook.
