attacking Iran makes "good sense??" To Whom?

Former UN Ambassador John Bolton:
I think their calculation has to be they want the support — at least after-the-fact — from the United States, and therefore, I think doing it during President Bush’s term makes a lot of sense. I don’t think they’ll do it before our election because you can’t calculate what the impact would be, and of course after the election, they’ll know who will be President — and that would factor into their decision as well.

Cheney:
HERSH: If Israel goes — I’ll tell you what Cheney’s says privately, and whether or not you, how I know this is, — what he says privately is, “we can’t let Israel go because, first of all, they don’t have the firepower, we do. We have much more firepower. And secondly, if they go, we’ll be blamed anyway.”

In sum, while the Bush regime claims the Iranians are behind attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq, (an assertion fraught with what the New York Times delicately termed “significant uncertainties,”) there is no longer any question Bush and a compliant Congress are doing just that inside Iran; that Vice President Dick Cheney is looking for a cause to start a war; and that the White House will fire any flag officer who dare stand in its way.
