Sometime early next year, Dick Cheney is planning to start his third war in the
Middle East. According to a wide range of Washington insiders — from Cheney
sympathizers to anti-war activists — the vice president is angling behind the
scenes for yet another unilateral military action, this time aimed at toppling
the clerical regime in Iran. "It's an open secret," one leading analyst of
Iranian relations tells Rolling Stone. Even though America remains bogged down
in twin conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the insiders add, Cheney still has
the clout to get President Bush to give the order — despite strong opposition
from the State Department and the Pentagon, both of which believe that attacking
Iran could have catastrophic consequences for the United States. |
