Big Dick redux
A news release from AFP informs us that the upcoming New Yorker issue has a new article from Seymour Hersh. This time he informs the public that the CIA has produced an analysis that finds "no firm evidence of a secret drive by
Iran to develop nuclear weapons, as alleged by the White House". In a normal world, this, on top of the Democratic victory, would put further consideration of the military option on indefinite hold. That is where the wondrous Big Dick comes into the picture.

Iran to develop nuclear weapons, as alleged by the White House". In a normal world, this, on top of the Democratic victory, would put further consideration of the military option on indefinite hold. That is where the wondrous Big Dick comes into the picture.
"If the Democrats won on November 7th, the vice president said, that victory would not stop the administration from pursuing a military option with Iran," Hersh wrote, citing a source familiar with the discussion.This would be unequivocally impeachable and might even rise to the level of treason. Such actions as Big Dick may be comtemplating would truly give "aid and comfort" to the external enemies of this country, and a few internal ones, too.
Cheney said the White House would circumvent any legislative restrictions "and thus stop Congress from getting in its way," he said...
....Cheney and his aides had discounted the assessment, the official said.
"They're not looking for a smoking gun," the official was quoted as saying, referring to specific intelligence about Iranian nuclear planning.
"They're looking for the degree of comfort level they think they need to accomplish the mission."
