Ever have one of those days when you think: "Nope. It can't get any sillier ..."? Well, on a day that featured proof that the White House knew there were no WMD labs when its minions claimed there were (is Scotty still waiting for that apology?), on a day that had a right wing blogger agreeing that Tom DeLay should take over at OMB, on a day when the sheer stupidity of the State Department's claim that Iran could have a bomb in 16 days sunk in, this is almost not surprising:
On Cheney's Order, U.S. Uses Terror Group For Iran Plans.
According to all three intelligence sources, military and intelligence officials alike were alarmed that instead of securing a known terrorist organization ["MEK"], which has been responsible for acts of terror against Iranian targets and individuals all over the world – including US civilian and military casualties – Rumsfeld under instructions from Cheney, began using the group on special ops missions into Iran to pave the way for a potential Iran strike.
“They are doing whatever they want, no oversight at all,” one intelligence source said.
[…] “We are already at war,” the UN official told RAW STORY.
And what's the most special about this?
“The US army secured a key MEK facility 60 miles northwest of Baghdad shortly after the 2003 invasion, but they did not secure the MEK and let them basically be because [then Deputy Defense Secretary Paul] Wolfowitz was thinking ahead to Iran.”
Darth Cheney and World Banker Wolfowitz. What's fucking next? Oh, and don't forget that James Fallows gave odds on Iran some months back - looks like he was right.

I used to use a nasty industrial solvent by the name of "MEK". It was best not to any of it any on your hands....Nuff said.

This won't surprise you either: Negroponte is trying to establish a phony cyber-connection between Saddam and 9/11.
We're so far beyond the Twilight Zone we can't even see it in the rearview mirror.

Are we paying extra in our taxes for this added layer of stupidity on everything our government does, or is that a free gift with our purchase?

T. Rex, a stupid tax? It would certainly be appropriate.

I broke my mind this morning trying to wrap it around the MEK story.

Why won't the dems do something already?!??!?!?!?!??!

Good question Helen. The Dems have no spine. They'll rubber stamp Bush's next war.

They are too afraid to take a stand, they are instead being more conservative than the reslugs, who really at this point are quite radical. You'd think with shrub's polls down the loo they would realize that people hunger for action on their part. I just do NOT understand their failing to take this opportunity to slam this administration, and get this evil cabal out of power.
