McClellan said this about Iran:

. . .”But we stand very firmly with the Iranian people. What they have is a regime that is controlled by an unelected few and that does not have their best interests at heart. They have their own interests at heart, continuing to strengthen their own power within Iran. And all this regime is doing is acting in a way that further isolates Iran from the rest of the international community. And their behavior and action is unacceptable, their comments are unacceptable. That's why we are working with Europeans and others to send a very clear message to Iran that such behavior, when it comes to their nuclear program, will not be tolerated. They continue to violate safeguard obligations, and fail to comply with agreements that they previously made.”

Could we not say this about the Bush Administration?

. . .”But we stand very firmly with the American people. What they have is a regime that is controlled by an unelected few and that does not have their best interests at heart. They have their own interests at heart, continuing to strengthen their own power within The United States. And all this regime is doing is acting in a way that further isolates The United States from the rest of the international community. And their behavior and action is unacceptable, their comments are unacceptable. That's why we are working with the American people and others to send a very clear message to The United States Government that such behavior, when it comes to their full gamut of programs, must not continue to be tolerated. They continue to violate their sworn Constitutional obligations, and fail to comply with agreements that they previously made.”

Iran ELECTED their president - we might not like it but they had an election and the former mayor of Teheran won - big. Just because YOU dont like it does not mean it did not happen

3. Everything this illegal regime says, when listened to
carefully, is exactly what they, themselves, are doing. Sometimes it's funny, in a wry, gallows humor fashion, that they can make these droning pronouncements without seeing the doppelgangerish connection.

5. I have been searching through philosophy books like "The Prince"
To find a recommendation for using this tactic..

I am certain that Mr. Rove has implemented it from some source.

6. I think Rove has a sick sense of humor.
Sometimes they sail too close to the wind though and * makes a Freudian slip, like when he said:

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." -—Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004
