The Conventional Wisdom on the Left is that a war with Iran is imminent. The one source who has almost single-handedly created this CW over the last few years is Seymour Hersh. The next time a moonbat makes this assertion, demand a link. You can bet the farm that the moonbat will link you up to Seymour. Like the Little Shop of Horrors, the Little Shop of Soros cries, "Feed me Seymour!" and Seymour delivers the goodies.
Recently, though, Seymour gave the moonbats at HuffPo a little indigestion with this morsel:I recently spoke with Hersh, whose new piece, "Target Iran," is featured in The New Yorker this week.
When I asked Hersh who wants to bomb Iran, he said, "Ironically there is a lot of pressure coming from Democrats. Hillary Clinton, Obama, and Edwards have all said we cannot have a nuclear-armed Iran. Clearly the pressure from Democrats is a reflection of - we might as well say it - Israeli and Jewish input." He added the obvious: "a lot of money comes to the Democratic campaigns" from Jewish contributors. Ignore the anti-semitism. That’s just become a conventional feature of the discourse in the nutroots. The cognitive dissonance will come from the new claim that it’s the Dems who are pushing for this, along with Chimpy McHitler and Darth Cheney. |

My experience in dealing with these groups (contract work) over the last few years is this:
- they are more interested in fighting turf wars than the enemy
- these place are staffed at the senior levels by lifers (people who have climbed up to the top by sheer violation of the peter principle).
- they have a wide variety of mutually incompatible software systems
- companies with pet politicians (Murtha and his district for example) win contracts and deliver technology that never was going to work
So no surprise for me that this happens. |

I’ve often wondered about the usefulness and even loyalty of the CIA bureaucracy.
I wouldn’t be shocked either if they some elements of the Administration possibly including or excluding Bush himself that do not want this intel to come to light because it makes the agreement with North Korea less than a stellar success. |

I’ll say it again- any new President- especially one coming in from a differing party than the previous guy- should basically clean house at CIA and State immediately.
Besides getting rid of the malcontent infighters, you also get rid of the cream of the cr*p that usually rises to the top in our permanent bureaucracies |

Isn’t satellite intel coming from NSA and others, who are supposed to be better than the CIA?
Also, let’s keep in mind that Israel can focus pretty exclusively on their neighbors and specialization breeds excellence. While I would prefer we find all this stuff out by ourselves, its not unreasonable to think Israel would be beating us in the field.
And I actually think its a good result if North Korea is shipping their entire program abroad in the sense that we can probably strike it better in Syria than in North Korea itself. If they are having a fire sale or not is the question, and regardless, we’re going to be very careful with our deal with the Norks. |

Basically the ball was dropped on us not knowing North Korea transfered their equipment to Syria. If we can’t detect that, how can we detect the spread of technology to other nations and groups? It makes it more imperative we stop Iran from acquiring nuclear technology. |

I was reading this and it sounds way more interesting than what I have read so far anywhere else.That was confirmed to The Spectator by a very senior British ministerial source: ‘If people had known how close we came to world war three that day there’d have been mass panic. Never mind the floods or foot-and-mouth — Gordon really would have been dealing with the bloody Book of Revelation and Armageddon.’ I am surprised at how silent the usual suspects have been on this. I guess George Soros has not issued an important action alert yet. |

Basically the ball was dropped on us not knowing North Korea transfered their equipment to Syria. If America can’t detect that, how can America detect the spread of technology to other parts of North Korea? If N. Korea can set up a nuclear facility on the other side of the planet in relative secrecy, how hard can it be to set up secret alternative facilities in N. Korea? |
