Next stop: Iran
When I wrote in late 2004 about Iran being the next country we'd invade, I was... well, at least half-joking.
Now it's not so funny. The you-should-switch-your-attention-to-Iran PR effort is being ratcheted up a bit each day. Today Bush is, more loudly, blaming Iran for the roadside bombs that killing our soldiers in Iraq.
So, to sum up: Iraq was to blame for what was really happening in Afghanistan. Now Iran is to blame for what's happening in Iraq.
He really must think we're all mentally challenged. Or he's actually going to stoop so low as to try to rescue his dying presidency by opening up a new "front" -- which would probably push the country's deficit to nearly irreparable levels.
