| Idol threats? |
| Looks like Dick Cheney's editing the president's remarks again ... George W. Bush is talking tough once again, this time aiming his sharp, cowboy rhetoric at Iran. Bush commented on Israeli television that "we've used force in the recent past" and it remains on the table if Iran doesn't come to heel on its nuclear program. At least one writer at the Guardian believes Bush and pal Tony Blair will likely go for it, with air strikes alone, in part to shore up Bush's and the GOP's support during the mid-term elections. But other analysts, including uber-Mideast analyst Fareed Zakaria beg to differ, indicating that with our forces stretched to the breaking point in Iraq, Mr. Bush's threats may be as hollow as his presidential resume. Althought Bush's comments were helpful to Germany's Helmust Schroeder, who is running for reelection again, and could definitely use some Bush gaffes to slam. |
