#1 Don't bet on it. I think we are getting a cassi belli against Iran for taking out their nukes, their air force and some senior leaders.

Hopefully....

#2 The assertions have been met with skepticism by some lawmakers still fuming over intelligence reports used by the administration to propel the country to war with Iraq in 2003. In fact, a report this week by the Pentagon's internal watchdog criticized prewar assertions by the Defense Department about al-Qaida's connections to Iraq

THAT is BS. The report this week cited Carl Levin's , D-Michiganistan, conclusions, based on comments by Carl Levin, D-Michiganistan, justifying comments made by Carl Levin, D-..., for the last three years. The WaPost got caught

#4 "Don't bet on it. I think we are getting a cassi belli against Iran for taking out their nukes, their air force and some senior leaders."

Other than Joe Lieberman, do you really think ANY Democrat in Congress is going to acknowledge that the evidence-- no matter how much of it is offered, or how incontrovertible-- means what we all know it means?

I certainly don't.

No matter what the evidence is, it isn't going to be acknowledged by any Donk as a cassus belli against Iran-- it'll just become another cassus Bushbashus. And they will do ANYTHING to keep Bush from attacking Iran.

#5 Frank, one of the things Bill Clinton taught the Democratic Party is that there is no such thing as "truth" anymore, nor any need for shame: if you're a Democrat and you get caught in a lie, then just stand your ground, NEVER acknowledge your deceit, and keep right on lying.

Bastards...

#6 The New York Times has a report on it. via Drudge, so many of those who don't actually read the NYT will see it.
Lucianne.com linked to an article in the Washington Times on the evidence Secretary Gates is presenting to those at the big security conference in Berlin. And then Brett's article is in Newsday, even if their subscribers likely number more doctor's/dentist's offices than individuals these days.

But I agree that a great many won't be pursuaded by any evidence short of their own, personal annihilation, and possibly not even then.

#7 And even if they are convinced they will insist on using Diplomacy and Talks and references to the UN INsecurity council until a major american city glows.

Then they will blame Bush for not taking care of it.
