6. What Hersh describes is different...
... than the contingency plans that have always been drawn up beforehand. He's talking about an effort to develop actual war plans, which, to his knowledge right now, only include air strikes. The original post suggests something a great deal more than just that, which isn't corroborated elsewhere.

As for the tar and feathers, when Hersh has been giving talks lately, he always mentions the joke that's going around Washington offices now: Condi Rice runs into Bush's office, yelling, "they're at the barricades, they're storming the walls! They're almost inside the White House compound!"

Bush says, "So? Call out the 82nd."

Rice moans, "They are the 82nd."

Cheers.
