I wrote two weeks ago about the President’s decision to name the Iranian Republican Guard — one of the major branches of their military — a “global terrorist organization” and the implications that had for a potential military strike against Iran.
Then I read this today, an article at DailyKos giving the perspective of a Marine aboard a carrier in the Persian Gulf.
And I wonder.
Just how close are we to the edge?
Because if that article is true, it’s chilling.
I don’t know what I think yet. Except that it worries me.
Iraq is already a catastrofuck. Iran would be far worse.
Because, yes, I do think President Bush is that insane.
