Report: US steps up plans for possible Iran attack

[Terry Hanushek]

Over the weekend, the Washington Post and noted investigative reporter Seymour Hirsch have written about administration plans to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities if Itan continues its program.

The U.S. administration is stepping up plans for a possible air strike on Iran, despite publicly pushing for a diplomatic solution to a dispute over its nuclear ambitions, according to a report by influential investigative journalist Seymour Hersh.

Hersh's story in the April 17 issue of the New Yorker magazine, mostly citing unidentified current and former officials, says President George W. Bush views Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a "potential Adolf Hitler," and sees "regime change" in Tehran as the ultimate goal.

"This White House believes that the only way to solve the problem is to change the power structure in Iran, and that means war," Hersh quotes an unidentified senior Pentagon adviser on the war on terror as saying.
The White House, without denying the report, reiterated that it was pursuing a diplomatic solution.

If there is a shread of truth in this report, you have to wonder if these bozos have learned anything in the last three years.

Terry this country is being run by a lunatic fringe, and you cannot ascertain normal thinking to this bunch. I don't doubt for one minute they learned nothing, because afterall they do nothing wrong, and perfectly well think this will be an easy conquest, and more importantly a way to remain in power.
