Bushco Prepares For WWIII

Another must-read from Sy Hersh in The New Yorker this week (alerted by HuffPo, though they pulled the link), including this excerpt…

The Bush Administration, however, was closely involved in the planning of Israel’s retaliatory attacks (note: retaliation for the capture of the two Israeli soldiers, though The Existentialist Cowboy reports that the soldiers were in Lebanon, not Israel). President Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney were convinced, current and former intelligence and diplomatic officials told me, that a successful Israeli Air Force bombing campaign against Hezbollah’s heavily fortified underground-missile and command-and-control complexes in Lebanon could ease Israel’s security concerns and also serve as a prelude to a potential American preëmptive attack to destroy Iran’s nuclear installations, some of which are also buried deep underground.

I’ll read Hersh’s entire article as soon as I can.

We are truly living under the rule of monsters.

Update 8/16: As Trudy Rubin of the Inquirer explains here (registration required), they're stupidly incompetent monsters also.
