Countdown to war with Iran

[mburbank]

So they start up their nuclear program and on the very same day Rumsfeld holds a press conference stating that bombs recovered in Iraq are 'clearly, unambiguosly' from Iran.

The most dangerous aspect of this, is he may be right. maybe the Iranians ARE dliberately destabalizing Iraq (if you can destabalize a situation that isn't stable). But Mr. Rumsfeld has zero credability about things he publicly states are clear and unambigous. Why, especilly in the absence of any proof, would anyone believe anything he has to say about known knowns?

This is the gift that keeps on giving aspect of the Iraq debacle. Even if we give Rummy the benefit of the doubt (and why would anyone) why would we think that his intelligence sources are right? Why would he for that matter, seeing as how this administration blames our crap inteligence and not themsleves for us being wrong about Iraqs WMD "Weapons related program activities"?

Rummy should have been shown the door months ago. Instead, this inept, untrustworthy hack is still the public voice of American foreign policy and at a time when we (and the rest of the world) despeartely need a figure we can at very least give the benefit of the doubt, we are forced to once more go to war with the secretary we've got.
