Casus belli in Iran, pointless chatter in the Senate
As dust tries in vain to settle upon the latest fiasco in Bush’s War (?) and peacemaking terrorists gather garlands from grateful Iraqis, this story looks like the invitation so anxiously awaited by the Likud to go ahead with long anticipated airstrikes on Natanz:
Iran has begun the installation of 6,000 advanced centrifuges in its Natanz uranium enrichment facility, according to state media reports quoting the president.
The announcement on Tuesday marks Iran’s “national day of nuclear technology”, commemorating the day in 2006 when Iran first produced uranium sufficiently enriched to make atomic fuel.
Hard to imagine how even the spoofsters at Psy Ops Mossad could have come up with a more provocative script.
What’s that cheshire cat got up his sleeve?
A response in kind?
Meanwhile Martin & Lewis, err, Rowan & Martin, err, Petraeus & Crocker were treated to polite applause and a few catcalls in the Senate, but jolly jowls were absent on both sides of the aisle.
Neither McCain nor Hillary said anything to stir the typesetters. (If Obama was there I missed him in the bathroom.) Bush-Cheney & Co have contrived to make Iraq one big Improvised Explosive Device and nobody on the Hill wants to touch it in the run up to the November sweeps.
Yet it has never been more clear, as poor Maliki totters, that Pottery Barn Rules rule.
And yet … even the White House seems to have gone dark. Perhaps as the script gets rewritten to make room for the shocking victor in the GOPher beauty pageant.
(Then again, Little Jimmy Grimaldi sez don’t put it past the Dark Side to slip some sugar into McCain’s Gulfstream gas tank. Romney the Robot is the Real Raygun and if Israel got permission from Cheney to Go and Big John goes down in fame and flames, Mitt’s the Man, a shoe-in come November.)
