Seymour Hersh,

as everybody knows, has a new piece out in this week's New Yorker about the Middle East mess.

Of course our dictator is aiding and abetting terraism with his antics. However, in his interview with Wolf Blitzer this morning, Hersh didn't think much could be done about our dictator's intentions regarding Iran because, after all, he is the president [sic].

It's a mess, and whoever inherits the job if and when George and Dick decide to leave has a thankless job trying to clean it up.

Snip:

“We are not planning for a war with Iran,” Robert Gates, the new Defense Secretary, announced on February 2nd, and yet the atmosphere of confrontation has deepened. According to current and former American intelligence and military officials, secret operations in Lebanon have been accompanied by clandestine operations targeting Iran. American military and special-operations teams have escalated their activities in Iran to gather intelligence and, according to a Pentagon consultant on terrorism and the former senior intelligence official, have also crossed the border in pursuit of Iranian operatives from Iraq.
