These Are the People Running Our Country?

Chilling stuff. Read it. But, basically, as I understand it, we might or might not attack Iran (Because it's not like we don't have enough wars going on already) and the State Department and DoD are squabbling about it. And, suprisingly enough, the diplomatic approach of State is the one Mr. Bush seems inclined towards. However, there's talk that the DoD side of the argument is contemplating an “end run” around the President. by inciting another nation, Israel, to attack or at least ratchet up the tensions with Iran. Which would tie the President's hands and lead our country into war.

Stunning.

Unthinkable.

Downright treasonous.

But, you know, I can believe it. Because the head of the DoD/Intelligence officials pushing for such a conflict? The Vice-President.

It's Mr. Cheney who, if you'll remember, holds to a singularly bizarre belief in an independent, extra-legal, imperial vice-presidential office.
