Rudy's Advisor Podhoretz: It's a CIA Plot to Protect Iran


TPM:


Yep, Rudy's Mideast Advisor Norman Podhoretz says the CIA is fibbing about the Iranian nuclear program to protect the Iranians from an attack by Bush or Rudy.
I entertain an even darker suspicion. It is that the intelligence community, which has for some years now been leaking material calculated to undermine George W. Bush, is doing it again. This time the purpose is to head off the possibility that the President may order air strikes on the Iranian nuclear installations. As the intelligence community must know, if he were to do so, it would be as a last resort, only after it had become undeniable that neither negotiations nor sanctions could prevent Iran from getting the bomb, and only after being convinced that it was very close to succeeding. How better, then, to stop Bush in his tracks than by telling him and the world that such pressures have already been effective and that keeping them up could well bring about “a halt to Iran’s entire nuclear weapons program”—especially if the negotiations and sanctions were combined with a goodly dose of appeasement or, in the NIE’s own euphemistic formulation, “with opportunities for Iran to achieve its security, prestige, and goals for regional influence in other ways.”

Rudy knows he can't say a word against Bush as the Bush base is his bread and butter. Now this comment coming from a cross dressing Mob King's campaign means nothing. Bernie and Rudy's theme song is by Hootie and the Blowfish
" only wanna be with you". That's why Rudy's wife keeps calling she afraid Bernie is shagging Rudy. Just think of it. We could have a Male/Female President and a first man as the first lady. The wedding could be held in the White House and Rudy could wear a white wedding dress as this is his first time getting married as a woman. What a joy for the World to see the USA has it's first female cross dressing President.
