Shorter Bush speech:
A gang of Iranians and Syrians wearing Polish army uniforms have attacked a Baghdad radio transmitter.
Update: And, right on cue...
U.S. forces in Iraq raided Iran's consulate in the northern city of Arbil and detained five staff members, a state-run Iranian news service said.
The U.S. soldiers disarmed guards and broke open the consulate's gate before seizing documents and computers during the operation, which took place today at about 5 a.m. local time, the Islamic Republic News Agency said. There was no immediate information on whether any of those detained are diplomats.
A good principle of Bushological Prognostication is, always go with your most cynical instincts.
AND: Oh, joy.
FINAL UPDATE: Hopefully, watching He-Man and the Masters of the Universe in German will cheer you up.Washington intelligence, military and foreign policy circles are abuzz today with speculation that the President, yesterday or in recent days, sent a secret Executive Order to the Secretary of Defense and to the Director of the CIA to launch military operations against Syria and Iran.
The President may have started a new secret, informal war against Syria and Iran without the consent of Congress or any broad discussion with the country.
