First let me stipulate that Hersh is a leftie dumbsquat.
On the other hand, he may be serving a useful purpose for the Bush administration in throwing a scare into the mullahs in Iran.
Yep an attack is a high possibility; anyone looking at the situation with their illegal clandestine nuclear development can't possibly help but think that either the Israelis or the US will, sooner or later, take care of business.
So why leak bluff and bluster? Perhaps this is timed to help increase the anti-theocratic students and population in Iran that want a democratic revolution. We are told on several Iranian websites that the population is fed up sith the mullahs and is ripe for revolution. Indeed, pitched battles between the government and students with democracy seeking citizens at their side have taken place.
Perhaps, just perhaps, Hersh is unwittingly helping bring about a democratic Iran.
I'm not placing bets, but Seymore Hersh could be a useful idiot. It's not a big step from being an idiot to start with!
Useful idiot?
Heck, let's celebrate the big promotion, then.
He was always a useless idiot before. About time he paid his share of the freight.
