Seymour Hersh's article in this week's New Yorker notes that the Bush Administration's plan for an attack on Iran has already been discussed with several GOP Members of congress "And at least one democrat".
As is always the case with articles like this, exact names are not forthcoming.
I wonder if that sole democrat might just be a certain senator from a New England State that shares a border with New York?
He being just exactly the very man the Bush Administration needs to sell operations like this.
Someone with experience backing up Bush to an increasingly sycophantic degree.
I just wonder who that person could be??
Hmmmmmmm...

The article itself discusses air strike possibilities at length, right up to and including the use of tactical nuclear weapons. Hersh reports little in the way of plans to deploy the infantry, therefore I'm guessing this notional attack on Iran is a sort of "super Osiraq" massive air strike scenario.
But I could be wrong.
From the sounds of things, Bush has already made up his mind for war and needs but a pretext and a calendar date. We will find out about his use of nukes when our geiger counters go off or something.
How much you wanna bet that Bush has October 28th 2006 already circled in red on his desk planner?
Another October Surprise this time with mushroom clouds and oil hitting $110 per barrel.
And then there is the spike in terrorism that we are so well prepared for in this country.
Y'know what folks, we've had a nice run, it has been a great civilization, especially the last hundred years or so. But if we cannot manage problems like this without the leadership of louts like Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld then maybe we deserve whatever apocalypse we get.
