Wednesday, August 17, 2005 Seymour Hersh on The Daily Show Damn you Sy Hersh!... you always scare the living shit out of me w/your deadly accurate predictions that always seem to come true. His appearance w/Jon was what I expected: SCARY. Sy's summary:1) The insurgency is prepping their own version of the Tet offensive. 2)They may be about to strike the Green Zone itself in an attempt to retake Baghdad flat-out from under us. 3) Bush & Co knows this is coming, is scared shitless about it (as well as the tide turning here at home), and is now putting all of its' efforts into nothing but A) Pinning everything on the Iraqi govt that is crumbling as we speak and B) Getting the hell out of there before the '06 elections so they can dig their nails in and keep the GOP seats advantage. Compare Hersh's comments w/this article on Iran taking advantage of the focus being on Iraq to build up their power to see how carelessly Bush has driven us over the cliff. |
