As of yesterday, a full 24 hours after the 12th Imam was to return and the evil Ahmadinejad was to wreak armageddon-like havoc on the world ... we're still not dead yet. ...Not that that's deterring the intrepid Glenn Beck from predicting unimaginable horrors to come if we don't get moving with that war on Iran...
Meanwhile, if you haven't read the James Bamford piece in Rolling Stone about the selling of the "next war" by the same Armageddon-threatening clods who sold us the last war ... you should. And then read Michael Ledeen's response ... and Bamford's counter-response, which ends with this zinger:
All of this could be looked at as simply a silly sideshow were it not for the fact that the last time this circus came to town, we ended up in a deadly blood-drenched quagmire in Iraq. In the next war I think we should leave the troops home and send in the clowns.
