Closemouthed Condi, the Sphinx of the Potomac, is now touring Europe assuring our allies that invading Iran is not “on the agenda at this point”. Love that passive-aggressive qualifier, “at this point” so quintessentially Condi in all her gruff impotence. Given the Secretary of State’s inability to head off a bad idea and her general air of utter craven spinelessness, London and Paris are well advised to take her pronouncements with a grain of salt.
What else can anyone do? This Administration routinely lies about its intentions with a sneering brazenness. Quite literally if they are saying “we have no plans to invade” you can assume they’ve already penciled in Rick Santorum as Caliph of Tehran.
Think of it, an empire built on the specious notion that democracy can literally impregnate a region, all enacted by a crew of embittered illiberal intellectuals-unheroic and unforgiving, yet animated but a messianic sense of destiny. And ghod help us, Condi is their willing tool, mouthpiece, henchwoman.
Is it too late to move to the Baja?
