an accurate diagnosis from a dubious source

Some Al Qaeda leader said in a videotape that de facto President George W. "Iraq then Iran" Bush is addicted to "lying and gambling."

Occasionally even bloodthirsty lunatic dirtbags get things right. This is one example. If there is anything Bush is, it is an inveterate gambler. And he is about to go double or nothing on his Middle East bet by bombing Iran.

I doubt it will work any better than the invasion of Iraq has. All it will do is revive the flagging support in Iran for Ahmedinejad's regime and revive ebbing anti-Americanism in that country. Oh, and probably get some more Americans killed, in Iraq and elsewhere.
