PLaying advocate though, even a small show of force like this reminds us that Iran is not an ally and Bush's remarks were not out of context.

I don't think we need any more reminding that Iran is not an ally. They are not really an enemy either. We haven't been trying to get along with them. I don't know what you mean by "out of context" here.


I agree that Bush should have the facts before he makes statements, but he isn't in the business of informing us. His business is manipulation of public opinion. I think he called it "catapulting the propaganda." Ah yes:

Unfortunately, it isn't always "the truth" that is sinking in. Youtube is really something.
