Two interesting stories..

This one is one of the more obvious propaganda efforts by the Cheney/Luti/Abrams/Addison wing of the Bush Administration to plant stories in the press that seek to demonize Iran enough to make war with that country seem desirable.  According to this tale, Iran, AQ and the Taliban are all just one big happy Muslim family...  Any "takers" on that one?  pl

And then there is this one, from Ignatius, the generals' favorite columnist.  This is clearly another "plant."   In this case it is from the other side of the fence, from the generals and admirals.  The "onliest" way that Ignatius could know this is to be told it "authoritatively" for the purpose of floating a trial balloon in the Post.  That would be done by the "starmen" and their thinkers to see if there is any receptivity on the part of the "commander guy," who, after all, remains the Commander in Chief.  Good luck, fellahs!  pl

Interesting when one considers that AQ and like minded ultra-right wing Salafists hate the Shi'a more than they hate the USA.
