Laura Rozen has some comments on the Warren Strobel and John Walcott article for McClatchy. So does TPM, here. While Laura focuses on the Ghorbanifar "cut out" angle, TPM keys into the one line that has me most concerned:

The leader of a Persian Gulf country who visited Washington recently came away without receiving assurances he sought that the military option was off the table, said a person with direct knowledge of the meetings.

Here's another quote from the piece that ought to give us all pause:

Current and former officials said the Pentagon's Iranian directorate has been headed by Abram Shulsky. Shulsky also was the head of the now-defunct Office of Special Plans, whose role in allegedly manipulating Iraq intelligence is under investigation by the Pentagon's inspector general.

Some officials say they fear the office, whose existence was first reported by the Los Angeles Times, is being used to funnel intelligence from Ghorbanifar, the arms dealer, and an Iranian exile group known as the Mujahedeen Khalq.

Just insert INC for Mujahedeen Khalq and Iran for Iraq and it's looking like the same play as before. Krauthammer's ready to invade and many are sensing a feeling of inevitability.

We are ruled by fools.
