If I were stuck in Iran right about now, I'd be stockpiling food, water and firearms. Not that invasion is necessarily eminent, although Condi's sabre-rattling is not a good sign. It's because the Bushco Godsquad has taken it in the chops the past couple of days. With Jerry's post on stem cell adoption and the disarming (although temporary) of the nucular option, the good folks on the side of the Lord have gotten a whuppin' from those secular folks to whom liberty, principles and consensus politics matter.

So now it's Rove Diversion Time (RDT). Let's see, the Cuss in Chief's poll numbers are hovering around 43%. Big Dog Frist screwed the pooch for Doc Dobson while his comrades' approval ratings are sliding south of 35%. What's a protege of Lee Atwater to do? Boy Howdy, go kick some Iranian butt and scare the crap out of America. Condi and Rummy'll crank up that fake WMD smoke machine, feign outrage, phony up stories of international cooperation-- create another coalition of the willing and the bombs will drop on Tehran no later than July 15. Any bets? posted by Leftcoast 10:37 PM Comment (1)
