Straw Out Of The Bag
Edited on Sun Apr-09-06 11:24 AM by bigtree

This is a direct result of Sy Hersh standing up to the WH and Pentagon with his report about contingency plans to nuke Iran:

Straw:

He told BBC television Sunday that the international community was right to view the Islamic republic's nuclear program with "high suspicion" but "there is no smoking gun, there is no 'casus belli' (justification for war)".

"We can't be certain about Iran's intentions and that is therefore not a basis for which anybody would gain authority to go to military action," he said.

1. Umm, Straw is a grade A liar
He used to be a lawyer and he's been an MP for a long time, so he and President Tony are more clever liars than Shrubco

2. Straw also said, "The idea of attacking Iran with nuclear weapons is NUTS"
Take it...embrace it. We need all the help we can get. Someone needs to stop these psychos.

5. Yeah, but who gets the short straw?
They will keep picking until Iran gets the short straw.

The only thing holding them back is their miserable performance we've seen in Iraq.
