Dick Cheney
Cheney And Iran

Remember that report from Steve Clemons last week about how Dick
Cheney is hoping to get Israel to attack Iran in order to provoke a
shooting war that will suck in the United States?
Today in the New York Times,

Helene Cooper confirms it:
"In interviews, people who have spoken with Mr. Cheney's staff have
confirmed the broad outlines of the report, and said that some of
the hawkish statements to outsiders were made by David Wurmser, a
former Pentagon official who is now the principal deputy assistant
to Mr. Cheney for national security affairs."
Good 'ol David Wurmser. A neocon's neocon. Co-author in 1996 of "A
Clean Break," the infamous document that proposed giving up on
peace in the Middle East in favor of armed attacks on Syria, Iran,
Lebanon, and, while we're at it, Iraq too. The man who proposed
attacking South America in retaliation for 9/11. The guy who keeps
Cheney bucked up when things look bad.
Unsurprisingly, this news didn't go over well with non-crazy people:
During an interview with BBC Radio that was broadcast today,
Mohamed ElBaradei, the director-general of the International Atomic
Energy Agency, said he did not want to see another war like the one
still raging in Iraq five years after the American-led invasion there.
"You do not want to give additional argument to new crazies who
say, 'let's go and bomb Iran,'" Mr. ElBaradei said, in his
strongest warning yet against the use of force in Iran.
....Several Western European officials also echoed his concern, and
said privately that they are worried that Mr. Cheney's "red lines"
— the point at which he believes that Iran is on the brink of
acquiring a nuclear weapon and a military strike is necessary — may
be coming up soon. "We fully believe that Foggy Bottom is committed
to the diplomatic track," one European official said Wednesday.
"But there's some concern about the vice president's office."
And the White House's response?
An unnamed senior official didn't actually deny that Wurmser's
account of Cheney's views was accurate, instead saying only that
"the vice president is not necessarily responsible for every single
thing that comes out of the mouth of every single member of his
staff."
Roger that. I'm sure Wurmser will be fired any day now. And Condi
Rice says the whole thing is ridiculous.
Of course Cheney is on board with the diplomatic track. Why on
earth would anyone think differently?
