Upon reflection, I'm convinced there are only two possibilities.
Either Al-Maliki is incredibly stupid or he is operating under Dubya's
orders who is operating under Cheney's orders with the intention of
escalating the war into Iran as quickly as possible. There is some
evidence in favor of Al-Maliki's stupidity, but I think it's the other
way around--and it is *NOT* a coincidence that this is the time of
year to do it.

Of course the problem is that we don't have the military force in
place to win against the Iranians. We can certainly give them a very
bloody nose, but we can't fight *ANOTHER* war, and a much more serious
one without big changes. Most obviously, we need more troops which
equals a draft--and the only way they can get it is if there is a
major provocation.

Conclusion? Could Dubya fail badly enough to allow a second Pearl
Harbor? Hard to imagine even for such a miserable failure--but he's
trying so hard to fail...
