C' est tres mignon. Gee, I can really get used to this place.
ReplyDeleteOnly one little wrinkle. I would prefer calling the tin-pot from Tehran Almandine-Jihad instead of using his real name, the way Brits used to refer to “nazzies” instead of the commonly pronounced “Nazis.”
ReplyDeleteNotwithstanding my attempt at poking phonic fun, the Iran-Proxy-War argument may turn out to be as much fiction as the WMD argument that started this Iraq disaster. Consider this article posted at AlterNet:
Pentagon, State Department Debunk Bush Fabrications on Iran
The charge that Iran is using the Quds Force to fight a proxy war is an effort to raise tensions with Iran by suggesting a potential reason for a US attack against that country. Similarly, the pressure for targeting the Quds Force in Iraq late last year came from senior officials in the Bush administration who wished to demonstrate US resolve to confront Iran, according to an in-depth account of the origins of the plan by the Washington Post's Dafna Linzer published on February 26.
That policy was regarded with "skepticism" by the intelligence community, the State Department and the Defense Department when it was proposed, Linzer wrote, because of the fear it would contribute to an escalation of conflict with Iran.
"This has little to do with Iraq," a senior intelligence officer told Linzer. "It's all about pushing Iran's buttons. It's purely political."
