Everything that I read
There's an article in Friday's New York Times about Senator Jay Rockefeller's (Democrat - West Viriginia) negative response to the Bush administration's rhetorical buildup against Iran. Here are some of the highlights:Mr. Rockefeller was biting in his criticism of how President Bush has dealt with the threat of Islamic radicalism since the Sept. 11 attacks, saying he believed that the campaign against international terrorism was "still a mystery" to the president.Does anybody disagree with this sentiment, any more? One of the good ways to have access to "reality" is to read about it, but since "reality has a well-known liberal bias," perhaps it's best to avoid reading altogether. Unless it's the "good" book.
"I don't think he understands the world," Mr. Rockefeller said. "I don’t think he's particularly curious about the world. I don't think he reads like he says he does."
He added, "Every time he's read something he tells you about it, I think."
Gordon D. Johndroe, a White House spokesman, said in response to Senator Rockefeller's comments that Iran was taking provocative actions both inside Iraq and elsewhere, and that American allies were united in efforts to end what intelligence officials believe is a covert nuclear weapons program inside the country.Yellowcake. Cylinders. Mobile Labs. Centrifuges. Act two.
"It has been clear for some time that Iran has been meddling in Iraq, and the Iraqis have made the concerns known to the Iranians," Mr. Johndroe said.Let there be no mistake: we (i.e. the Bush administration) really respect the concerns of the Iraqis and we don't like the idea that somebody (*cough* else *cough*) might "meddle" in that country.
He noted that the administration has said it would be willing to begin direct talks with Iran — which have not occurred since 1979 — if Iran agreed to suspend its uranium enrichment and reprocessing activities.We stopped talking to them when they stormed our embassy and held our people hostage for 444 days. But we figure it might be time to set those differences aside . . . nah, we just busted up their consulate in Iraq. Booya!
