I say this is all part of the 06 campaign stratergery.

I know that I am one sick twisted individual, full of tinfoilyness, heck my fillings speak to me, but I claim that the latest phase of WWIII is a wag the dog event concocted for the political benefit of the 06 campaign here and I presume also in Israel.

From the shelling of the Gaza beach to right here and now, this has all smelled of deliberate attempts to get something started. But why? How does a big fat war in the Middle East help the rovian mission to salvage 06? At a minimum it divides the Democratic Party, as we have seen right here on DU, between the Israel Can Do No Wrong camp, and us critics of Israeli policy. It also brings back the good old War President theme. Naturally if this leads, as it very well may, to a broader conflict with Iran and Syria, the hope is not only to complete the PNAC plan for the Middle East but also to retain both houses by running a rally round the flag campaign against us Hezbollah loving cheese eating gay atheist flag burning abortionists.
