| Build a better neocon: Nuke-em Joe |
Joe Klein has been slowly but surely sliding off into lunatic territory. He sides with the administration on so many issues, it seems inappropriate at this stage to refer to him as a Democrat. Klein's latest neoconesque revery: he thinks we should go ahead and consider nuking Iran. From "This Week," via Crooks and Liars:
Klein: We should not take any option including the use of nuclear, tactical nuclear weapons off the table...
Stephanopoulos: Keep that on the table?-That's insane...
One of the main points of Sy Hersh's article is that the inclusion of nukes in an attack plan against Iran has the military leaders freaked out and they are demanding it be pulled or they will quit. It seems that Klein doesn't share those views.
To add more right wing spin into his arguments today, Klein proclaimed that if Francine Busby wins the San Diego election-it'll be "over reported" in the media. Even George Will suggested that it was a win-win situation for the Democrats-and if she won it would be like an earthquake. So who is the liberal and who is the right winger? More on Klein's musings on nuclear murder-suicide from RawStory.
