what is with condi and iran?
Some news stories say Condi is pushing a diplomatic solution to Iran. The Sunday Telegraph says she is going to roll over for Cheney. Of course she is.
Now, when has Condi ever done anything that showed a propensity to do the right thing? Her testimony on the August 6 PDB, that the information was all historical, will be her epitaph.
The problem with arguing that Condi is pushing a diplomatic solution to the Iran problem is that the Iran problem is wholly manufactured by the Bush administration. They are manufacturing the problem because they are a bunch of vicious warmongers in the throes of a quasireligious hallucination. There is no diplomacy in the usual sense of the term that could change that. Now if Condi wants to negotiate with her boss to talk him out of war, that would be the only diplomacy that could be worth a salt, but that is not what people usually mean by diplomacy.
If she is serious about stopping the war, she needs to go public. Tell congress what is going on. Resign. Go on 60 minutes and Oprah and tell us what's up. Otherwise, she is just the Rudolf Hess of the Bush administration, coming to her senses too late to make a difference.

And what did you end up with? Not an argument, but yet another anti-Bush rant, only this time with Condi.
Two words: Jesus wept.
I can do reasoned argument, too. Try Would It Be Worse? for an example.
Anyway, the only line that qualifies as rant in the post at hand is "They are manufacturing the problem because they are a bunch of vicious warmongers in the throes of a quasireligious hallucination".
Two more words: Psalm 140.
