It's a shame that some people still subscribe enthusiastically to more of the neocon 'remaking the middle east wars' when we're already overextended in Iraq and Afghanistan and Al Queda is still safe in Pakistan.

On Thursday’s Hardball Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) talked with Chris Matthews about the strong push from Dick Cheney and some members of the Senate — namely Kyl and Lieberman — to move closer to invading Iran. Matthews gets it, by passing amendments condemning Iran, they’re tying to get other legislators on the record so they can come back later and use it to make the case for war.




Very insightful piece of video. It sounds like those war hawks sure know how to maneuver so they could come up with some manipulative sound bites afterwards.

Thank God for Jim Webb. Can you imagine if George Allen had gotten re-elected? Instead of one more administration puppet pushing for war with Iran we have a former Navy man who has a particular interest in the Middle East (his son) who really cares about the repercussions our actions may have in that region of the world. The Democrats, playing checkers (badly) while Cheney is playing chess, may not have gotten our troops out of Iraq yet, but then I think about George Allen and Rick Santorum and then sigh with relief.

So who's up for another war?
