So Now Iran Looks Like The *Big Winner*... In... Iraq.

I caught a bit of General Wesley Clark's interview on the Ed Schultz Show... seems that, according to officials "in the know" (those are the ones that analyze data, rather than spin it, FYI), Iran(!) has the best shot at controlling the region, the way things are going now. Oh, joy!

No text, so I give you a podcast linky to the .mp3 clip

This is why you don't lie your way into wars, kiddies. Especially the intractable wars that your own father wouldn't tackle. Oh, and that nearly every military scholar noted as the second-worst idea in the history of warfare... right up there with fighting a land battle in Asia.



Hmm.
