Iranian Deja Vu

I've got to admit, I don't have much this evening. We've been rushing around to get everything done before we're off to New York in the morning for a late-summer-weekend getaway. I don't want to leave you with nothing, though, so I'll crib a couple of posts from Joe at AMERICAblog. The House Intelligence Committee has come out with a report revealing that we're notably lacking in intelligence on Iran. That may not come as too much of a surprise when we remember that this was reportedly Valerie Plame's area of expertise. Joe first cites a fairly straightforward report from Reuters. But his next post takes a bit of a different angle on the information. A New York Times article reports that the Bushies are quite annoyed by this situation. Why aren't the intelligence agencies providing them with fixed information to back up their preconceptions? It worked before. Surely the American people are spoiling for another war now that Iraq isn't going our way quite as easily as we were assured it would. Are the neocons going to keep starting wars until they find the one that fulfills all their dreams? From the looks of things, the answer to that question just might be yes.
