Man, what would Reagan say? Dick Cheney can’t even pull an effective Reagan, launching potentially illegal covert ops involving Iran.

Jerry Doe, the CIA operative who says he was fired because his intelligence contradicted the generally accepted doctrine that Iran and Iraq and one other country wanted to develop nukes, claims that the Iran NIE proves he was fucking right.

Once again, Dick Cheney is playing games to avoid oversight. Once again, what he’s doing without oversight seems to be backfiring, making Iran stronger.

You tell me. Is giving Saudi Arabia nuclear technology, without, in exchange, getting the Saudis to increase oil production, a reasonable deal? Because that appears to be what Bush plans on doing while he’s in Saudi Arabia.

Hillary’s Iron comments sound like they’re complete bloodthirsty war-mongering. But there’s an important kernel of sense to them that is getting missed.

The Pentagon says they never claimed Iran was responsible for the Filipino Monkey transmission. We now know they were. So why aren’t the Traditional Media reporters who know that revealing that to the American people?

Think Progress watches Fox so I don’t have to–and so bmaz can have some fun.

WTF was the SAO who leaked the story about Bush trashing the Iran NIE trying to accomplish?

In addition to trying to start a war based on the blatherings of Filipino Monkey, the Administration has reverted to its claims that the hammered ashtrays it is finding in Iraq are a sign that Iran is supplying insurgents.

Turns out our Borat voice might belong to a jokester nick-named Filipino Monkey–one the guys in the Navy who made this video ought to know about.
