The Drumbeat Against Iran

The media seems to keep telling us that, regarding Condi Rice's latest saber rattling toward Iran, we don't have to worry about going in there because we don't have the troops to do so.

I find that rather cold comfort, and I doubt for a moment that lack of military preparedness will stop us if we decide to go after Iran. We had similar warnings before Afghanistan and Iraq and we're still there.

And handed out last week as an almost parenthetical statement, given no attention or emphasis, is a new projection that Iraq - the war we were told would more than pay for itself - will cost us at least 2-3 trillion.

TRILLION

Uh huh.
