Let someone else start the fight

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is at her mushroom-cloud hyperbolic best, and this time Iran is the target.What does her boss say - no the real boss- Uncle Dick...
Her claim last week that "the policies of Iran constitute perhaps the single greatest challenge to American security interests in the Middle East and around the world" is simply too much of a stretch.
"Given the fact that Iran has a stated policy that their objective is the destruction of Israel, the Israelis might decide to act first, and let the rest of the world worry about cleaning up the diplomatic mess afterwards."That's the plan. Let someone else start it - Israel, Turkey, hell even Iceland. We'll then step in as the savior and "clean up" afterwards.
Why this path? It's clear that too many are failing to believe the WMD/threat/fear pattern that was so successfully used to beat the drums for the Iraq war.
