Seymour Hersch has written another article for the New Yorker regarding Iran: Shifting Targets. Hersch has been writing about the Bush administration's hope to bomb Iran since early 2006. He says now, however the Bush plan has shifted from a broad boming attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities to “surgical” strikes again Revolutionary Guard Corps facilities in Tehran and elsewhere.
Hersch talks about how the administration is now beating the drums for war with Iran, but differently. John Bolton talked about a pre-emptive strike this weekend. In "Shifting Targets" Hersch reveals In his article“This summer, the White House, pushed by the office of Vice-President Dick Cheney, requested that the Joint Chiefs of Staff redraw long-standing plans for a possible attack on Iran,” emphasizing the shift in rationale. The “shifting emphasis” is “gathering support among generals and admirals in the Pentagon.”
Hersch talks here about the change in rhetoric. The selling of the Iran strike is not working and a new public relations tactic is needed. He also tells us the adminstration will use the Bill Clinton did it first approach. Watch it:
It looks more and more like this WILL happen, it is no longer if, but when.
