I said WISH!
But speaking of "Siding with Al Queda," have you read the latest Hersh
piece in the New Yorker? Talk about scary? Heres' the gist as stated
on Josh Marshall's "Talking Points Memo" blog:
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/
In the Hersh piece in The New Yorker we learn that the US has
essentially decided to get out of the al Qaeda/Sunni-jihadist fighting
business and redirect our efforts toward fighting the Iranian peril.
The real war we're in the midst of now, it turns out, is the
trans-Middle Eastern Sunni-Shi'a civil war. And we're going to side
with the Saudis, who will in turn enlist a bunch of al Qaeda type
groups to work on our behalf against Iran.
Now, you may be worried that this sounds rather like how we got into
this mess in the first place. But don't worry. As Hersh writes, the
Saudis are assuring the White House, that "they will keep a very close
eye on the religious fundamentalists. Their message to us was 'We've
created this movement, and we can control it.'"
Okay, for the sake of argument, let's say we're convinced. Back to
teaming up with the Sunni jihadists it is ...
But wait ... Only a short time ago we were told that Cheney and his
crew at the White House wanted to take the side of the Shi'as in
Iraq's burgeoning civil war. In other words, for all the attention to
who we're going to attack and how and how many soldiers we need to do
it, there appears to be a basic debate (to be generous) or confusion
(to be less generous) within the administration over which side we're
even on.
