Here We Go Again

The Guardian reports that the US is planning air attacks on Iran and that the US could be ready to attack by the spring. This is contrary to what Secretary of Defense Gates said earlier this month when he said the United States is “not planning for a war with Iran.” The air attacks are being promoted by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), the same group that brought us the current surge in Iraq. Nearly everyone in the US opposes military action against Iran, but with our current military buildup in the region, it would appear the AEI is again having their way. Gary Younge thinks once Bush gets a bad idea he hangs on to it. Those appear to be the only ideas our President gets.
