And I wrote a riddle to you, Nim, and he stole my FUCKING THUNDER.
Bad, bad Atrios.
Except that faulty claims about Iran's war machinations are kind of a huge deal.

Oh good:
"Adding to the unease, Rumsfeld's office earlier this year set up a new Iranian directorate, reported to be under the leadership of neoconservatives who played a role in planning the Iraq war."

Bushboy/Cheneychins/Rumdum are the "asses of evil."
They are the political equivalent of a defective computer that constantly has "garbage in." So there should be no surprise when you constantly get "garbage out!"

Bush won't go any higher than 40. Of this I am sure. And I will eat my words and do other nasty things if I'm wrong.

Don't worry gang, the neocon magical pixie dust will emanate from our tactical nukes will make the Iranians so happy that they'll overthrow the Ayatollahs, right? Right?

Let's liberate them.

I think Bushboy & Cheneychins are truly fearful that a Democratic win of the House (Senate less likely) could lead to impeachment and war crime charges.
The best thing that could happen to the USA is to have these two war criminals being marched out of the WH in handcuffs, doing the perp walk.

Later today, I shall add a cockeyed twist to my Eschaton posts.
My friend has a wild rooster, well, roosting on a perch outside her front door, and I'm going to try to capture photos. Sadly, he needs to be trapped and given to the local zoo, which has a good farm animals exhibit.
He's been threatened by predators in the neighborhood, such as coons and the like.
Anyway, I want to capture him in photo before he's gone.

Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice....Foolmeh....Won't get fooled again! Heh-heh-heh-uh-huh-huh...
Stinky
Sorry for a pedantic moment, but folks misquote that last bit, unintentionally having Bush make almost make sense.
Bush actually said, "A fool me can't get fooled again."
Clearly Bush was fed that line, and he desperately concentrated on the first part too much and couldn't get past it.
"What was the part in the middle?"

Is it just me or is it weird that the McClatchy article TPMcafe links to ends w/ a quote by . . . Bill Murray?
Bill Murray, a retired CIA station chief in Paris who met with a Ghorbanifar associate and found his claims about Iran to be bogus, called the office's establishment "a big bell ringer." "That is outright manipulation of information to suggest a predetermined policy," Murray said.
OK, not that Bill Murray. Or . . . . ?

Maybe this will present an opportunity to revisit the Iran-Contra treason.
There's still time to dig up Reagan's corpse and put it in prison for 50 years.

In the 1980s, Ghorbanifar's principal American contacts were National Security Council agents Oliver North and Michael Ledeen.
...
Ghorbanifar's suspected duplicity during the Iran-Contra deal led CIA Director William Casey to order three separate lie-detector tests, all of which he failed. Iranian officials also suspected Ghorbanifar of passing them forged American documents. The CIA issued a burn notice (or "Fabricator Notice") on Ghorbanifar in 1984, meaning he was regarded as an unreliable source of intelligence. A 1987 congressional report on Iran-Contra cites the CIA warning that Ghorbanifar "should be regarded as an intelligence fabricator and a nuisance".
...
In December 2001 Michael Ledeen organized a three-day meeting in Rome, Italy between Manucher Ghorbanifar and Defense Intelligence Agency officials...
CIA leaks mean one thing...it is meant to be leaked 'cause who is giving a fuck anyway and it takes the sting away later, as in, wasn't my damn fault no how pointing to Tenet.

Hang Ollie North! The bastard is on FAUX News - hosting American Heroes!!!!!
Maybe they'll give Bob Ney a slot, since he was trying to sell airplane parts to Iran.
