Default Seymour Hersh on Iran

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/0...happening-now/

The man has been saying this for quite sometime.

His latest article for The New Yorker, “Preparing the Battlefield“

HERSH: I think this is another example of putting an awful lot of pressure on the Iranian government. There’s been a dramatic increase in kinetic events and chaos inside of Iran. Almost every other day, there’s another story in the Iranian press — I write about this in the article, too — about things blowing up, et cetera, et cetera. It looks like things are falling apart, a little bit. And the central government certainly has more trouble.

And I think the goal of this operation, this incredible operation, with all this money — and, by the way, it’s the Democrats in Congress who basically looked the other way and said, take the money and run. They did not stop this money, the leadership that I’m talking about, the Democratic leadership.

So, basically, my guess is that — I don’t think we can safely say that any military action is off the table, no matter what happens. And that’s — as I say, I wish I’m going to be wrong about all that, but this is really, sort of, an amazing development.

Should have done the work and posted it from the New Yorker rather than Crooks and liars.. would have more credibility..

The Lefty Media has been pretty quiet about Iran lately, we all know what that means, "we're winning"

Yea much better than the Crooks and Liars blog, as far as A paul goes he is quick to criticize me when I demean a comparable rw blog.. but when I call someone on using a left wing blog.. he defends the poster.. some call that oppositional behavior.. some call it idiotic..

No, GJAJ. My problem has always been that you dismiss 'facts' simply because of where they came from. If the story was from the New Yorker (big whoop) and was reposted at rawstory.com (or wherever he saw it), it's still the same work.

Just like if a news piece is published in the NY Times and WaPo and gets picked up by Little Green Footballs. The fact that the link might be from LGF isn't reason to dismiss it out of hand.

That's what I'm getting at.

Information is to be gathered and weighed. Dismissing it simply because you think newsmax or lgf are bad sites is sloppy thinking, and I know you're smarter than that.
