Will The Dems DO Anything? Ray McGovern: Bush League War Drums Beating Louder on Iran
http://www.buzzflash.com/articles/contributors/1251

A BUZZFLASH GUEST CONTRIBUTION
by Ray McGovern

It is as though I'm back as an analyst at the CIA, trying to estimate the chances of an attack on Iran. The putative attacker, though, happens to be our own president.

It is precisely the kind of work we analysts used to do. And, while it is still a bit jarring to be turning our analytical tools on the U.S. leadership, it is by no means entirely new. For, of necessity, we Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) have been doing that for almost six years now -- ever since 9/11, when "everything changed."

1. Have they done anything about Iraq? Katrina? Warrantless spying?
The answers are becoming clear.

3. Expect the Dems to sign up to attack Iran
and later say they were duped.

Read FAILED STATES if you are still naive enough to believe the politicians in your country have any intentions of paying any attention whatever to "the will of the people".

5. The Democrats are far less ruthless
and some are sincere.
