Madmen in the White House?

From Sic Semper Tyrannis

ARNAUD DE BORCHGRAVE, UPI Editor at Large:

A prominent "neocon," still in good odor at the White House and OSD (Office of the Secretary of Defense), speaking privately, assured us that by the time president Bush leaves office in January 2009, Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions would be history.

Assuming tough sanctions -- draconian or otherwise -- don't bring Iran's mullahs to heel, we inquired, trying not to sound too wimpish, what would be Mr. Bush's next step?

"B-2s," this prominent armchair strategist replied. "Two of them could do the job in a single strike against multiple targets." With a crew of two per bomber, only four American lives would be at risk, an all-time record in the history of warfare.

I am afraid that they are going to do it. Of course it will take more than a couple of B-2s, and the consequences will be catastrophic, but what of it as long as Bush is having fun.
