According to Steven C. Clemons of The Washington Note (via Matthew Yglesias), Dick Cheney is becoming increasingly frustrated with the Bush administration's attempts to engage in diplomacy with Iran and is developing a plan to induce an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities.
This White House official has stated to several Washington insiders that Cheney is planning to deploy an "end run strategy" around the President if he and his team lose the policy argument. The thinking on Cheney's team is to collude with Israel, nudging Israel at some key moment in the ongoing standoff between Iran's nuclear activities and international frustration over this to mount a small-scale conventional strike against Natanz using cruise missiles (i.e., not ballistic missiles).
I'm not sure how reputable a writer Clemons is or how valid his sources are. But the idea of Dick Cheney orchestrating his own war against Iran did remind me that I've always wanted to rewrite Phil Collins' "One More Night." With apologies to Mr. Collins.
One More War
One more war, one more war
Ive been trying ooh so long to bomb them
Let you know how I feel
And if I should have a heart attack just help me back
So I can make you see
Please give me one more war, give me one more war
One more war cos I cant wait forever
Give me just one more war, oh just one more war
My heart can't go on forever
Ive been sitting here oh so long
Waiting to bomb them in Tehran
And I was wondering should I call you
So you'll bomb Tehran too
Please give me one more war, give me just one more war
Oh one more war, cos I cant wait forever
Please give me one more war, ooh just one more war
Oh one more war, cos I cant wait forever
Give me one more war, give me just one more war
Ooh one more war, cos I cant wait forever
If you nuke their nurseries
I will always be with you
bomb their colleges and universities
I will follow you
Give me one more war, give me just one more war
Oh one more war, cos I cant wait forever
I know you're asking why fight Iran
Guess you've got much to learn
But if you change your mind you know that Ill be here
And we'll make their oil fields burn
Give me just one more war, give me just one more war
Ooh one more war, cos I cant wait forever
Give me just one more war, give me just one more war
Ooh one more war, cos I cant wait forever
