pretext building has been ongoing--for example last week a report surfaced somewhere (in a newspaper, but i cant remember which) that the bush people wanted to declare elements within the iranian military a "terrorist organization"...
this is a horrible idea. i keep hoping that the political support the bush people are able to pretend they maintain is collapsing so fast and so thoroughly that an action against iran is ruled out. but then i think: uh...there is little reason to expect that the bush people and reason ever enter the same room.
so i dunno: the possibility is certainly there and has been for some time.
whether the "decider" undertakes an action that'll make the war in iraq look like a session in a sauna or not is still hard to say.
but i agree with the last night of af's post above absolutely.
