Bush's Iraq speech - and the implications for an Iran attack

Vanity Fair's Craig Unger has a troubling report on the Neoconservatives' twisted plans for provoking - and then attacking Iran. Is this even possible given the disastrous consequences of the continued quagmire in Iraq, or is this just more crazy talk from the fundamentalists that have heretofore had Bush and Cheney's ear regarding their War on Terror?

This article delves deep into Bush's January 10th speech on the war in Iraq and finds ominous tidings for our future plans for Iran. But one can never tell with Bush - is he just bluffing in an attempt to get the Mullahs to back down and agree to cease their nuclear program and cease supporting attacks against coalition troops in Iraq? Or is he serious - saying what he means and meaning what he says.

Regardless of what you believe to be the answer to this question, Unger's piece has some great original reporting in it and is worth the time to read.
