Fear: The Great Motivator

Another follow-up on the NIE about Iran's nuclear situation conveniently ignored by Bush:

McClatchy reports that "Probably no country felt more blindsided than Israel," but a Ha'aretz article said that "Israel has known about the report for more than a month," and a former Clinton administration ambassador speculates that Bush kept a lid on the NIE before Annapolis to help attract participants by playing on the fear of Iran.

  Cursor

Oh, surely not. It would be so out of character for him to play on people’s fears. (The former ambassador is Wendy Sherman: here with Keith Olbermann. Olbermann’s assessment of it all is “unmitigated crap”.)


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
