WaPo brings us this disturbing news:

The nation's top military officer said yesterday that the Pentagon is planning for "potential military courses of action" as one of several options against Iran, criticizing what he called the Tehran government's "increasingly lethal and malign influence" in Iraq.


Jesus Christ. You know, I'll be honest with you. I thought all the finger-pointing-blame-game bullshit from the Pentagon on Iran was silly, but I never really thought it would lead to another war. I mean, someone in the Administration has basic math skills right? You don't have to go to MIT to be able to count how many Soldiers we've got and how many are already deployed and discern that the scales aren't balanced.

Consequences such as bankrupting the country are just fine with them because the resulting turmoil with be a matrix from which their envisioned new world order with rise like the Phoenix.

Nothing else matters to them.
