Burns’ power is said to be increasing under Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice who, like her predecessor, has delegated much authority for policymaking to career bureaucrats.

So what does that make her? A figurehead? But she's a woman, and a minority. That makes her a lousy figurehead in the viciously racist and misogynistic middle east.

I hope that's not true. One of the most important things is for them to be pressing how Hezbollah is contected with Syria and Iran.

>>Bush White House won't cite evidence of Iran backing for Hizbullah<<

Maybe the information is classified or would expose methods or sources.

It would force the Bush Administration to actually do something about Iran.

So Bush whips up the nation on the "Axis of Evil" and then decides to downshift gears and let "diplomacy" handle a nation that wants to destroy a democratic nation. Some poll by Rove must have just come in hot off the press.

this is utterly....pathetic.

Bush has NOT been downplaying Iran's role one bit in his very public statements. This is a disingenous article.

Don't want to piss off one of Iran's best business partners now would we.

This war on terror is a loss if we keep giving time to Syria and Iran.

F' the French, F' the Russians and F' the press. It is time we go all in before Iran develops nuclear capabilities and really cause a lot of damage in the Middle East.

I'm sure the NY Times has it, but won't print it in our lifetime.

Why would the White House want to divulge classified intelligence information just to prove what common sense shows?

This is insanity. Perhaps the terrorists have already used mind-numbing chemical weapons in DC. I don't think there's a sane politician left. God help us all.

Makes sense to me. Unless we're ready for an invasion of Iran right now there's nothing tobe gained from it. And in fact if Israel wins linking Iran to Hezbollah could damage possible future support for an invasion of Iran, as people against the war will be able to say Israel "took care of the problem". Can't just think about today, also have to consider all possible tomorrows.

President Bush need not show his cards so liberals, Euro-trash and others can make excuses and cover all bases with false witnesses.

Could be good reasons... does it reveal a source, a technological capability, or put an weak ally in harm's way?

Or it could be GWB showing a jelly-spine again, like on the borders issue. =^/

So, how much difference would it make if someone spoke up and said The Emperor Has No Clothes?

Everyone knows the truth about Hezbollah.

Will anything change because the White House speaks the words in public?

Doesn't seem likely.

Robert morton who apparently runs this newsletter has been pushing a confrontation with Iran for year - this sounds like what he used to say about President Clinton.

I'd like another source before I condemn President Bush.

Here is some of Morton's older writing on the subject

http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/m-7.html

He tells how he got so involved with Iran - I'm not saying he doesn't have a point about the threat from Iran - just that I'd like another source before I go condemning the Preisdent.

>>Visiting Tehran in late 1978 as an American correspondent left indelible memories of a society in radical transformation Writing stories by candlelight in a hotel stricken by the nightly power outages is one image that comes to mind as is having a camera stripped of its film by Iranian troops guarding the American embassy.<<

A lot of dumb responses on this thread.

One of the prime rules of information, is that it is difficult to disclose information without ALSO disclosing how you GOT the information.

I don't think we want Iran knowing HOW we get proof of their activities.

Think, people.

That's probably because all weapons roads will eventually lead to Russia/Red China.

I'm a little confused by the reaction to this. We freak out when the NYT leaks information the Administration is trying to keep secret, but when it comes out they're trying not to talk about a situation they're in the middle of, it's what, a cover-up by Bush?
