Stovepipe



Chris Floyd points out that The New York Pravda has Judith Miller's partner in fellation, Micheal Gordon, stovepiping Dear Leader's drive to Get His Iran On.

He also points to Barnett Rubin's report that he...

...received a message from a friend who has excellent connections in Washington and whose information has often been prescient. According to this report, as in 2002, the rollout will start after Labor Day, with a big kickoff on September 11. My friend had spoken to someone in one of the leading neo-conservative institutions. He summarized what he was told this way:

'They [the source's institution] have "instructions" (yes, that was the word used) from the Office of the Vice-President to roll out a campaign for war with Iran in the week after Labor Day; it will be coordinated with the American Enterprise Institute, the Wall Street Journal, the Weekly Standard, Commentary, Fox, and the usual suspects. It will be heavy sustained assault on the airwaves, designed to knock public sentiment into a position from which a war can be maintained. Evidently they don't think they'll ever get majority support for this — they want something like 35-40 percent support, which in their book is "plenty." '


So, there it is. The only question if the size of the bang when this gets kicked off, and whether where another Operation Northwoods is planned to get the ball rolling.

Once the ball starts rolling, it'll be interesting to see if the main$tream abandons their wits for another Warga$m.

Anyone remember this?



Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... uh, won't get fooled again.
