Rationale Déjà Vu

Well it looks like the Bush admin may be laying the groundwork for expanding the “war on terror”. It was reported in an issue of the German publication Der Spiegel recently that when CIA Director Porter Goss visited Turkey, he allegedly handed over four dossiers to Turkish authorities. Three of the dossiers reportedly show that Iran has been cooperating with Al-Qaeda. The fourth apparently shows the current status of Iran’s nuclear weapons programs.

Terror links and WMD…now where have I heard that before?

Let’s face it; with Bush’s approval rating as low as it is and all the flak he is getting over the NSA spying scandal, the White House needs a distraction. It wouldn’t surprise me if we attacked Iran sometime this year, probably close to the November elections. Bush’s handlers probably hope the country will “rally ‘round the President” once more, possibly helping his GOP allies maintain control of the Congress. Keeping the Legislative branch in check is Bush’s only hope of avoiding serious talks of impeachment come 2007.
