A September rollout for Iran war? Two "hawkish" priorities: Sustain "surge" well into next year and rally American behind an attack on Iran

From UPI, here
"...The chronological juxtaposition of the Surge panel Sept. 6 and the rollout of Ledeen’s book Sept. 10 underlines the balance that AEI and other hawks (including the vice president’s office) are trying to achieve between their two top priorities at the moment -- sustaining the surge well into next year and rallying Congress and the public behind an attack on Iran before the end of Bush’s term..."

you're obssessed with an attack on Iran, man. I read (a lot of) the news daily here in America (I'm not sure where you are from) and I hardly see all this stuff. I understand the UPI and The New Yorker are American but still... I hardly ever see it.

also, if this is true i really think it is a flawed plan. because THE PEOPLE IN America want less war not more. and if they roll out this big plan in September then the presidential candidates will have no choice but to start addressing it. and then that will be the end of that. let the candidates run on "bomb Iran" and see how many votes they get.
