Wheee! Here we go again.

I'm not the first blogger to point to this article about the U.S. updating its plans to bomb Iran:

WASHINGTON - In an echo of the intelligence wars that preceded the U.S. invasion of Iraq, a high-stakes struggle is brewing within the Bush administration and in Congress over Iran's suspected nuclear weapons program and involvement in terrorism.

U.S. intelligence and counterterrorism officials say Bush political appointees and hard-liners on Capitol Hill have tried recently to portray Iran's nuclear program as more advanced than it is and to exaggerate Tehran's role in Hezbollah's attack on Israel in mid-July.

The struggle's outcome could have profound implications for U.S. policy.

...

Several former U.S. defense officials who maintain close ties to the Pentagon say they've been told that plans for airstrikes - if Bush deems them necessary - are being updated.

The leader of a Persian Gulf country who visited Washington recently came away without receiving assurances he sought that the military option was off the table, said a person with direct knowledge of the meetings.

"It seems like Iran is becoming the new Iraq," said one U.S. counterterrorism official.

It looks like were going to have a lot of fun in the upcoming couple of years. A whole new war. Wow, wheee! Maybe, we could get North Korea to join in too.

My biggest fear is that World War III will give Bush the occasion to indefinitely postpone the 2008 elections for the good of the country. Can't change dictators mid-war, can we?
