Apparently, nothing succeeds like success. In the twisted thinking going on in the US government these days, BushCo's lies about Iraq's "weapons programs" were successful.
So, we find them repeating exactly the same pattern with respect to Iran. Not only is the US ranting on about Iran "pursuing nuclear weapons" (and if they are, so what?), just reinforce their position, a senate subcommittee report that insinuates that the IAEA is in cahoots with Tehran to cover things up. This is exactly the same tactic that BushCo used in the leadup to invading Iraq - they tried to discredit the IAEA to bolster their argument.
Given the outright lies that were told repeatedly about Iraq, I think the world would do well to treat the latest rantings by BushCo with more than a little skepticism.
A progressive voice shining light into the darkness of regressive politics. Pretty much anything will be fair game, and little will be held sacred.
