Norquist: Bush’s Advisers Telling Him ‘Invade Iran. Then Everyone Will See How Smart We Are’.

From the Wonderful Folks Who Brought You Iraq.

In April, Seymour Hersh reported in The New Yorker that U.S. troops were
already on the ground in Iran, negotiating alliances with the Azerbaijanis in
the North, the Kurds in the Northeast, and the Baluchis in the Southeast. In
September, Time reported that a U.S. campaign to wipe out Iran's nuclear program
could entail bombing up to 1,500 targets. More recently, Paul Craig Roberts, a
former assistant secretary of the Treasury under Ronald Reagan, asserted in the
Baltimore Chronicle that Bush "will attack Iran with tactical nuclear weapons,
because it is the only way the neocons believe they can rescue their goal of
U.S. (and Israeli) hegemony in the Middle East." Adds former C.I.A. officer
Philip Giraldi, "I've heard from sources at the Pentagon that their impression is that the White House has made a decision that war is going to happen."
