Sy Hersh On Countdown: Bush Moving The Goal Posts On Iran - Again
By Logan Murphy Sunday Sep 30, 2007 9:15pm
On tonight's Countdown, Keith Olbermann talks with Sy Hersh of The New Yorker Magazine about the intensifying sabre rattling from the Bush administration toward Iran. Hersh claims his sources are telling him that Bush is not only changing targets in Iran, but also the reasons for attacking. Hersh also asserts the intelligence community is very concerned about the threat of asymmetrical warfare in the aftermath of any sort of strategic strike within Iran, and that the Bush administration has been made aware of those concerns.

Keith touches on today's White House press briefing where Press Secretary Dana Perino smugly dismisses Hersch's latest claims, repeatedly stating the president's desire to pursue diplomatic options with Iran. You can see the full video of that presser below.

Q This weekend the New Yorker magazine came out with an article claiming that this summer the President, or at least the White House in general, asked the Joint Chiefs to redraw plans to attack Iran. Is that true?
MS. PERINO: Look, you know, I'm glad you brought it up. Every two months or so, Sy Hersh writes an article in The New Yorker magazine, and CNN provides him a forum in which to talk about his article and all the anonymous sources that are quoted in it. Read more of the transcript...
Note the non-denial denial, all questioning Hersh and not the content of his story. It's deja vu, all over again.

what does it take?
what do we have to do to quit our jobs, to leave our homes, to stand up for what is right?
i am ashamed i havent yet
can't we just remove booosh for being insane....there has to be a clause in there somewhere that says we can remove any particular person or persons for reason of mental incapcity......and that would be boosh and chainy.
oh....and who are you going to believe?.......
"How dare you commit journalism."
A bumper sticker of hope for these times.
Can we say "pathological madman" yet?
when it comes to war, bush must believe the third time is a charm.
So why didn't the "questioner" insist Ms. Perino answer the question? why did the press corps accept this non-denial denial? Why aren't they doing their frakkin' jobs?!
I saw a sign tonight that America, well at least here in Conservative Central PA has turned. I stopped into a local bar/restaurant for a cold one. 2 of their TV's has always been reserved for Faux News unless someone has requested a NASCAR race. What a pleasant surprise tonight to see MSNBC and Keith Olberman on both of those TV's doing a Falafel boy Fatwa update.
The beer there never tasted so good.
Cheers
mudshark @ 3:
Actually, there is indeed a clause under which a president may be removed by reason of being "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office." It's Amendment XXV, Section 4.
And under that section, the Vice President and a majority of the cabinet members have to sign something attesting to the incapacity. Naturally, that ain't gonna happen. However, also under that section, Congress could appoint a body to investigate and determine such incapacity as well.
i fired someone last week for incompetence it was a great relief. yes indeed, work has been way better since..
i think sy works for the cia,, anyone else? dont get me wrong, i like him. but isn't he just helping create the meme?
I wonder if the president define winning from the same dictionary as he define diplomatic solution?
What is winning the Iraq war? and what is diplomatic solution while refusing to talk to the enemy?
And every couple months Perino, your boss comes up with a different excuse for invading Iran and it's because the other excuses don't hold oil . . . I mean water.
I keep having flashbacks to Leiberman asking Patreus if he needs the authority to pursue the terrorists in Iran...
*Drum beat steadily getting louder*
Fukc you morans! Remeber 911? Bitter we fight them over there then over here! Busch rocks!
Actually this isn't funny at all. It scares the hell out of me.
the survival of the dollar (if that is now possible) depends on it remaining the world's reserve currency. the threats to iran have nothing to do with its nuclear capabilities. the iranians are challenging western hegemony. the terrorists are not who you think they are.
Question Blog @ 1:
The answer is yes.Only when we have 10-20 million march to Washington to demand to be heard will anything happen.We need to demand that crimes of this administration be properly investigated,and appropriate action taken.We must also make sure there are 15 million Port-Lets because we need to stay till something is done.Failing to do that,we can pack it in and forget it.Watch football.Buy stuff.Grab the backs of our thighs,bend over and kiss our ass goodbye.America is kaput. This administration is power mad.They`re criminal.Most Americans are so burnt out on the lies and corruption that we don`t know what to do,BUT WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING..
Congress won`t do anything.We the people have to.It`s either shit or get off the porta-let.
Peace to all,and to all a good night
Today Russia Government has evacuated all it's staff from Iran's Nuke facilities

I agree . . . we need to all collectively shut this place down (peacefully) . . . monkey wrench the war machine that is.

ski @ 19:
It was, and yes, we'll have it up tomorrow. :)
Remember, those who are seniors now, when we were kids and we were terrified of Russia? We are doing the things in the name of freedom and democracy to all of these countries. Those of us who can clearly see what is happening are unfortunately too few to accomplish anything it seems. We write letters, we protest, we complain to the news that they have a responsibility to report the news rather than be megaphones for this administration and it all falls on deaf ears. People don't want to be bothered, such news is upsetting to them and they don't want to deal with it. If the rest of the world comes down on this country, which incidentally, I would not blame them, many of us will die because the rest were too lazy to pay attention. They will also die for their ignorance. If we can't stop these idiots in control, somebody has to even if it means an attack on the USA. I don't like the idea, but lets face it, looks like that may be the only way anything is done to remove these criminals from office. I would actually gladly give my life to see them pay for all the deaths they caused because of their greed.
Question Blog @ 1:
We need the same sort of spinal fortitude they had in 1776:
"governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed... Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness." --Thomas Jefferson: Declaration of Independence, 1776
Powerful and apt words then and now.
Bush is certainly still rolling on the floor of the red room laughing at the idiots in congress for unwittingly allowing him to go to war... again!
Meanwhile Cheney has accidentally gotten himself entangled in the silk drapery, while tickling his extensive nipples with the deliciously hand made Empire style, gold scroll woven Jacquard decorative tape.

Iran is a problem. We are fighting them in Iraq by proxy and have been fighting them for decades. Ahmadinejad is a psychotic who thinks he is the man to usher in the Mahdi. At all costs.
"In a videotaped meeting with Ayatollah Javadi-Amoli in Tehran, Ahmadinejad discussed candidly a strange, paranormal experience he had while addressing the United Nations in New York last September.
He recounts how he found himself bathed in light throughout the speech. But this wasn't the light directed at the podium by the U.N. and television cameras. It was, he said, a light from heaven."
And you think Bush is insane??????

It has been predicted. It has been mapped out. It is right on schedule. The train is barreling down the tracks. The bridge is out but it is building steam and building speed.

I think Bush is insane . . . and Iran is not a threat . . . I believe we're the country that has 150,000 + mercenaries occupying a distant land . . . . I believe that we have created a holocaust for the Iraqi people . . . any sparking in your gaps?
If you think about it, Perino just confirmed that cheney/bush plan to start a war.She said that they are pursuing a diplomatic solution to the Iran problem. So why doesn't the diplomatic solution to the Iran problem include talking to Iran?

Sy Hersh is seldom wrong, and when he is, it's not by much. While not too long ago I thought that he MIGHT be wrong on plans for an Iranian war, I now believe this: We are going to war with Iran.
Book it.

Jenn @ 24:
Didn't our Commander in Chimp say the same thing, the only difference being he's taking his queue from Jesus?
Yes he did, look it up.
You can believe what they feed you, but you might want to step back, grab a book on the Zone diet, and use the brain cells God gave you. In Spain Bush told their president "We'll be in Baghad by March", but the media kept filling the trough with lies, and YOU bought it, not me. And now history repeats, only this time most sane people are on to him... but not some.
Alas, the media failed America, but a LOT of us were proven correct... that this administration is a lie, made war on a lie, continue to lie, and will forever lie. In the meantime women and children die, our troops die, our treasure is being wasted at a rate of 500K a fucking minute, and YOU jump on the wagon with these rat-bastards.
Have a nice ride. When you one day get to heaven tell God that you did everything you could to stop the suffering, the dying, the pain, and that you supported Bush and his henchman. The drop will be spectacular!
Ken Burns, Undersecretary of State, is being interviewed by Charlie Rose. He is making the new case for war with Iran. Dispatched to sell the new reason why we have to attack Iran, Burns makes it sound that all the weaponry to the Shia in Iraq is being supplied by Iran. I can't listen to thjis propoganda. When will all the lies and disinformation stop? Never I guess. It hasn't stopped yet. Still, Ahmadinejad convinced America that Iran is not an imminent nuclear threat, and in that sense, he achieved what he set out to do on his recent visit. Bollinger must be fuming at the fool he made of himself at Columbia.
mystic @ 40:
Ken Burns? Huh? The War dude? What? Sorry. I'm tweaked on Zin and chocolate chips while watching The War. Plus I lent the only remaining liberal brain cell to Curt and he friggin' killed it off with a bong hit. Please elaborate.
George Bush has no moral center. He has neither empathy nor compassion. He makes plans for war not with anguish in his heart, but with glee. He does not ponder whether his facts are correct, he ponders which lies sound the best.
For that reason alone he should be stopped but there are so many more.
Jenn @ 24:
well they do say vd will eat your brains if not treated janey, maby bush didnt see the doc in time
Thank you, Tyree, for bring the conversation back to a serious discussion. :)
"Hersch also asserts the intelligence community is very concerned about the threat of asymmetrical warfare in the aftermath of any sort of strategic strike within Iran, and that the Bush administration has been made aware of those concerns."
Why is "asymmetrical warfare" the terrible thing that the other guys always do, rather than us using our military that costs more than the rest of the world's militaries combined? I want out troops to be safe, but having so much more power and capability than everyone else seems to be the type of thing that inspires the unconventional attacks we're all afraid of.

Everyone knows that a car bomb is used to target civilians while cruise missles target everything.
I keep thinking about the comment that Keith made about how Bush and Cheney want very much to bomb Iran and that they don't give a rat's *ss about what it might do to the Republican party...
So what would be the objective? Total world domination? or just money making?
I'm not sure, but I can't get the picture of Mike Meyers' Dr. Evil out of my head when I think of Cheney.

No Tyree, that was something else. Try "hard" to remember.
im thinking !im thinking!
Bush and Cheney certainly 'don't give a rats ass about the Republican party'. They have flushed away all the core principles of that party in the quest to acrue more power-They played the gullable and naive religious right like violins so as to get their votes- and shockingly. most Republicans seem too dimwitted to realize the damage Bush has done to this country.. I have lived abroad, and take my word- international respect for America has never been this low......Bush and his minions just want to be in power, and the Republican party principles be damned. All Bush needs to do is keep mentioning 'freedom' and 'Jesus', and the right wing sheeple will blindly support him. Very sad..
The party that claims to be for a smaller, less intrusive government created the proto fascist Patriot act.
Bush WILL order an attack on Iran- the question is will the Democrats in the House and Senate stop him, or once again fall to their knees and obey Bush's commands?
I hope British PM Gordon Brown will return some integrity to the UK, and not be Bush's poodle like Blair was- If Brown were to publicaly condemn Bush- that would carry enomous weight...But I'm convinced many in Parliment pine for the days of the British Empire, so if the US attacks Iran, Britian will be on Bush's leash again......
I look at this as Cheney and Bush and the rest of them scrambling to create the largest impact on the world they can in their remaining time in the Whitehouse. They certainly can't achieve anything at this point with legislation, but they've procured all this power for the commander and chimp to create more war. Are they really all "end-of-days" believers who are trying to bring about their concept of the end-of-days prophecies?
They are scary and not at all fully sane. Scary, scary people with lots of power and warped ambitions.
Well, to paraphrase Dan Akroyd on SNL: "Dana, you ignorant sl@t!"

I don't beleive Bush, Cheney or anyone else in this adminsitration are 'end of days' beleivers- I think they simply played the role of the conservative Christians- just to get the votes from the radical christian right- There seem to be many witnesses who suggested Bush's people ridiculed the Christian right wingers behind their backs...
I think a war with Iran is not about Jesus- but rather is about imposing American soverignty on a global scale....
Jesus stood for everything these radical republicans hate- He advocated charity, he shunned wealth, he beleived in peace..Jesus was a pascifist- he was an anti establishment bearded middle eastern liberal- rest assured if he came back to earth, Bush would have him shipped off to Gutanamo Bay to be tortured and killed..
That should be "American Hegemony."
jwrjr @ 30:
Because the Diplomatic solution does not entail killing,maiming,and enraging hundreds of thousands of people to keep war going on ad infinitum which is the goal of these thugs. They and their traitor friends make big bucks while We the People take home less than half of what we earn.They like to see people suffer.They get off on it. These are the folks we allow to run our government. My question:Is this what we really want.If not let`s take two weeks vacation ,go to D.C.,and stay till Congress listens to us.It will take 10-20 million of us,but if we want change,we damn well be ready to sacrifice.
The White House claims to want a diplomatic solution, yet they don't bother speaking with the Iranians. What else is new?

Nope. Abu Ghraib was a good indicator that Sy's the good guy who's trying to expose bad things.
McDuff @ 67:
That's typical Bush logic (or lack therof). It's a sign to me he intends to invade....
Here is a question- Is it possible Bush could order the attack, and exclude the House and Senate from the decision? I have a hunch that might happen...
sy is a good journalist but he has been predicting action on iran for over 2 years now.
Here is what might go down- Bush will order an attack on Iran- and leave it for the next president to deal with the aftermath....But if there is retaliation, and an American city is somehow taken out- could this delay the 08' Presidental election?

He never answers why he thinks they would bomb iran though......
Not the reason they give, or the drum beat bullshit.......but why they really really think it's a good idea.
Of course, it's mostly to do with oil and trying to make up for the harm they've done by invading Iraq and making Iran stronger.
Its the same mentality they had to go into Iraq.......finish a job they didn't finish before. Now it's finish a job they fucked up and they have to try to "fix".
Nevermind that Syria/Saudi Arabia imports 45 percent of the "terrorists" that attack us in Iraq and we send cheney over there to shake their hands. Nevermind that we created most of the insurgency when we disbanded the military and never gave them drinking water.
xoites defends Constitution @ 83:
I'll bet anything they'll call these detention camps "Freedom Camps"
People could drive,Bike,Car share,bus,train,fly .However.If they were to lock up 20 million it would get out.And that just might get the people who`ve been lazy to get off their butts and do something.If not, we`re screwed.
Is it me, or is the overall quality of Bush regime Press Secretaries (never a particularly high quality lot to begin with, I'll grant you) steadily declining? I mean, they've gone from Ari Fleischer to Simple Scotty to Tony Blow and now.......the Bush regime is being defended by a burned out Valley Girl. Seriously, I keep expecting her to,at any moment to go "Well, like, DUH!". Really fucking pathetic. If there were any justice left in the world, Dana Peroxide would be fetching Helen Thomas' coffee.

kryptman40k @ 90:
And never mind that we are pushing the reasonable people of Iran right into the arms of crazy ol' I'madinnerjacket.
One point of discussion we do not hear much about is what happens when Bush does transgress Iran's frontier. Iraq was a cakewalk because they had been softened up by years of sanctions and the "No fly Zone" that allowed the US to take out radar and any potential threats prior to the invasion. Iraq had no air force to speak of.
Iran is a little different, they are technologically advanced and produce their own fighter planes, missiles, and allegedly have a high speed torpedo. They have 70 million people compared to Iraq's 20 million and have a large and well trained military. They have been surrounded by aggressor states for years and would likely be much better prepared than Iraq was for conflict.
Has anyone thought about what might happen to the Persian Gulf and the Straits of Hormuz if the US attacks Iran? Can the same government that brought you Katrina protect the daily flow of oil and munitions that travel through a narrow shallow gauntlet along Iran's southern coast? What would happen to the price of oil if ships refused to enter the gulf for fear of being sunk?
What about a Shia backlash inside of Iraq? What about US bases throughout the Middle East that are in range of Iranian missiles? What about Russia? Would they sit idly by while the US attacks a neighboring country?
Welcome to Pandora's box. Once you open it you will never get the contents back inside. No one knows what will happen down the road. Surely not the "Flowers at our feet" crowd.

I believe that Hersh has kept Bush from attacking Iran sooner. That seems an extravagant thing to say, but I really believe this. His exposure of the propaganda leading up to "surgical bombings" may keep Bush from pulling this latest caper.
Even Bush doesn't want to look stupid.
Hersh is all over the German press with this analysis, too. He's very influential.

Oh the anguish of the republicans when they realize that the only way they can keep their party from dying is to impeach Bush and Cheney. Making Nancy Pelosi the defacto president of the United States. Better get busy republicans. Your time is running out.

xoites defends Constitution @ 114:
Good point.
The diplomacy in which the White House is requesting the Iranian war plans to be redrawn should be proof enough that the President is employing such diplomacy to get his order followed through.
It is only coincidence that those Nukes where transfered from N Dak to La at an AFB there that is primarily a staging platform for the Middle East.
Now we all know Dana and the White House would be quick for the opportunity flat out deny a New Yorker story if it wasn't true.
If Iran is truely supplying weapons, What of Saudi, Jordan, Syria? And most of all why have we allowed the insecurity at the borders for them to enter Iraq with suspected arms?
Can one of the White House press corps please ask these questions?
Hattie @ 113:
I agree with you and xoites... but our President Reptilian Brain wants what he wants and he wants it NOW!
I wonder how those stupid Demos that voted for the Kyle-Lieberman Amendment feel tonight. They just fell for the con to have a backdoor reason to bomb Iran.
I see the Senate is backpedaling with a reintroduction of the Webb Amendment in an effort to tie bush's hands. Hillary can't vote for it fast enough. Just like the new amendment to criticize Limbaugh's "phoney soldiers" in an effort to make nice to all the progressives they pissed off on the "Move-On" vote.
When they say there's a Washington bubble, they ain't lying.
Every idiot Democrat who voted for the Lieberman/Kyle resolution should be kicked out and put on the street. What a short-sighted collection of complete, gutless cretins. they have utterly betrayed their trust. What complete pieces of shit.
I still can't believe they are actually going to do it...
and yet...and yet...
I have to laugh at..."is Cheney aware of the consequences?"
YES he is and he was AWARE IN 2003.
Cheney knew all along what the consequences were in Iraq.
Stupid lefties feeling so smug at Cheney's "incompetence" in carrying
out the war. The only incompetence was starting the war in the first place
but without the war how do you centralize power? How do you catapult so
much corruption and how do you cover it up? You bomb Iran. What do you think
the Iranian CIA is doing right now? "Lets see do we do Bush a favor and sink
a few tankers inside Boston and Los Angeles and blow them up or do we do a few suicides in Grand Central?
How about a few canisters of cyanide and a trailer truck full of castor beans for DC."
xoites defends Constitution @ 94:
Really want to miss Barstow that badly, eh?
Or, as we say hereabouts:
"Barstow...EWW!!"
>>> And most of all why have we allowed the insecurity at the borders for them to enter Iraq with suspected arms?
For the same reason we couldn't secure the border between SVietnam and Laos and SVietnam and Camboodia: insufficient manpower. Your talking, literally, about dozens of Divisions of ground-pounders.
Hersh made such a great point: You'll be doing diplomacy when you start talking to the Iranians and this admin is not talking.
Skip Vegas. And you have to go through Barstow to get to Vegas anyway. Take the 40 out of Barstow.
These people, Dana Perrino included, have no soul or conscious. They just get up there and repeatedly lie to the press corps, and they do it with such a straight face. This is some pretty scary stuff. It's also all the more reason Bush/Cheney should have been impeached long ago. It was obvious they were both dangerous, and if left in power, nothing was going to stop them.
I assume Petraeus is not interested in being the Custer of the 21st century? The Iranians could put Scud-like missiles into the Green Zone, Camp Victory, etc.
Party in Iran... War is fun when you know your not going to die.
this is why Bush and Cheney are Evil Extremists, they don't care about consequences, they don't give a rat's ass about the Republicans or the American people. all they care about is their sick corrupt agenda of Power and Greed.
Bush and Cheney are MALIGNANT NARCISSISTs

Are you guys down there fucking crazy? You have this kid...Dana Perino...talking like she's an expert on Islam, Middle-East culture/issues. Christ, she probably doesn't know what's going on in her own home town.....ok, State...but that's it.
You actually trust these people for wisdom and direction in matters that could put the world at war and compromise its safety? My Oh My get the headgear out.
Debra Cagan acts like a Coulter wantabee. May be she/he's Coulter's boyfriend....
Podhoeretz (NY POST), Cagan, Wolfwitz, Perle....these Heebs hate Arabs. This isn't a revelation. And if you think this is anti-semetic...it's not. There are so many Jewish learned people (Amy Goodman, Sy Hersh) who are criticizing the move. But these people are Arab-haters......I liken them to the boys from the southern states who still don't like the coloured boy.
The President is going to use ......................"DIPLOMACY"????
Diplomacy is when you do something like what was just done between N & S Korea. The 2 "LEADERS" got together....not friggin representatives or ambassadors.
Trouble is, Bush has no guts.
Has anyone ever thought....speaking on leadership skills themselves, first, could Bush be a leader of any other country and second...if he was leader of Iraq or Iran,,,would he have the balls to take on the USA? Could this Christian soldier die for his God alone?
What a crock of Bullshit! Yeah sure...we'll do the surgical strikes and leave. That would be like severing the wasp nest and thinking it's over once it hits the ground.
The facts are;
1- this is what happened in Iraq and you have to think, any fallout is not only expected but welcomed by Bush so they can anhiliate that country.
2- There are so many Iranian immigrants here in N America who can bring a war to the USA overnight on mere retaliation fot lost family members.
Finally and this is very important.......If you want to see blood & gore coming into your living rooms each night, this will be the one. Get use to it. The slaughter of kids who absolutely no say in this (and don't blame it on their President).
This hearless, criminal slaughter will be a real test to each American's compassion and those around the world. Hmmmm. ......around the world. Maybe this would be enough for the rest of the world (like us in Canada) to say, enough's enough George.
You are already hearing rumblings of this nature from Britian, France, Germany & Russia.
I think that's enough for the people of USA to tell this little Napoleon to take Donald Trumps advice and just "GO FISHING" or something...but get lost.
Sy Hersh is a national treasure.
Peace! GWB - WPE - WCE

What's with the Right-Wing and their obsession with "Trannies"? Holy Marilyn Manson...does Cagan look like Dave Gest or Manson or what. And then there's Ms. Black Dress.
Big Red Dummy @ 15:
"Busch" - isn't that really bad beer from St. Louis. Oh, that's that really bad preznit from Waco (as in "wigged out," "psycho," etc.), Texus.

Well as soon as DC Dana opens her mouth you know whatever she says is wrong.
#75 xoites.....scary.
I'll betcha boosh has a problem with translators.......could you imagine trying to translate what the preznit says?..it's bad enough in english.
Sy Hersh On Countdown
On tonight’s Countdown, Keith Olbermann talks with Sy Hersh of The New Yorker Magazine about the intensifying sabre rattling from the Bush administration toward Iran. Hersh claims his sources are telling him that Bush is not only changing targets in ...
kryptman40k @ 90:
If we attack Iran, Bush will no doubt claim the attack is needed to 'protect freedom'. Already right wing bloggers are spewing the old propaganda they used to justify the invasion of iraq, by saying 'we need to bring freedom to the Iraqi...whoops, i mean the Iranian people..
