A god read from a trusted paper who sees a the NeoCon threat to America and the world.# Wait, maybe I'm not that fringe after all?

You might have to register, but it is worth the read.

I thought this stuff was never in the mainstream media? Given your argument this morning, how could I pass that up? Rupert Murdoch owns the Chicago Sun-Times but this is the alternative voice that Chicagoans can read if they choose.
In fact, as numerous indicators attest, the neocon group around the president is already readying for the next step: to force the U.S. to take on Iran as well as Iraq, and perhaps then Syria.
"Take on" can mean a lot of things, including multinational economic pressure of the kind already building against Iran.
This particular columnist is saying "all out war," then is so stretched for ideas he derives a rather fanciful scenario which actually requires Iran to invade Iraq and confront USA forces, rather than Americans going into Iran, all the result of an Israeli air strike.
Doesn't that make IRAN the imperialist war mongers!!??
I would also point out that American ground forces might be stretched but they would be in precisely the spot the Iranians would allegedly attack while facing the full weight of the under-utilized American air force.
There might be nothing more unifying for Iraqi's than seeing Iranians pouring over the border.
Isn't the columnist guilty of the very scare tactics the Democrats accuse the Bush administration of using in this campaign when it says America will be less safe with Kerry as President?
