David Brooks and the deceitful tactics of the Beltway pundit
The only real goal of the Beltway pundit is to depict Washington orthodoxies as popular among "most Americans," even when they are not.
Glenn Greenwald [2007-09-25]

  • Attention Glenn

    Do you know about the Kyl Lieberman Amendmant? It's a sense of the Senate, but look at the language:

    (3) that it should be the policy of the United States to combat, contain, and roll back the violent activities and destabilizing influence inside Iraq of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, its foreign facilitators such as Lebanese Hezbollah, and its indigenous Iraqi proxies;

    (4) to support the prudent and calibrated use of all instruments of United States national power in Iraq, including diplomatic, economic, intelligence, and military instruments, in support of the policy described in paragraph (3) with respect to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies;

    Much more @ PDF of amendment:

    Sounds like a declaration of war to me. It could come up for a vote TODAY.
