Well, its Monday and I am back in the swing of things again. Another week is in front of me. Anyways what is in the news?

Seymour M. Hersh | The Coming Wars

When I heard this I was honestly surprised. At this point in our current affairs, I really didn't think we would possibly be planning an attack on Iran. I don't know if this is true, but if it is, then it brings our foreign policy to a whole new dimension. Listen to this quote from the article.

"George W. Bush’s reelection was not his only victory last fall. The President and his national-security advisers have consolidated control over the military and intelligence communities’ strategic analyses and covert operations to a degree unmatched since the rise of the post-Second World War national-security state. Bush has an aggressive and ambitious agenda for using that control-against the mullahs in Iran and against targets in the ongoing war on terrorism—during his second term. The C.I.A. will continue to be downgraded, and the agency will increasingly serve, as one government consultant with close ties to the Pentagon put it, as 'facilitators' of policy emanating from President Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney. This process is well under way."

Wow! What to even say! This is exactly what my fears have been for the past 4 years. And maybe I am just some crazy liberal overreacting, and maybe Seymour M. Hersh is too. But folks we need to think about the possibility that this IS happening.

Consolidation of power is a bad thing for a democracy, and I really do believe that that is what this administration wants. Ok now back onto Iran; if this is more than just planning, and I will admit that I did not read this full article (its damn long! I will try to read it tomorrow), then I question whether this would pull our country just too thin.

I don't know, I really don't think this administration knows what it is doing, and I am truly scared for our country.
