In my interviews, I was repeatedly told that the next strategic target was Iran. “Everyone is saying, ‘You can’t be serious about targeting Iran. Look at Iraq,’” the former intelligence official told me. “But they say, ‘We’ve got some lessons learned—not militarily, but how we did it politically. We’re not going to rely on agency pissants.’ No loose ends, and that’s why the C.I.A. is out of there.”
For anyone who caught the interview on The Daily Show some nights ago,
here is the New Yorker article summarizing some rather interesting "interviews" done with people in the Pentagon.
"The only solution is to bomb."
Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?
