If we're going to attack Iran, we only have about 22 months left to do it in. If it's going to get done, it'll have to be under Bush. He'd better get moving if he's going to do it.

I can't find any reference to these comments in Google News. The "news" media so far is ignoring what Pace is saying after twisting his comments on Iran earlier this week.

I am for a clandestine effort to destroy Iran's local gasoline production. This would cause severe problems for Iran's government and sow rebellion among the already frustrated populace.

Regards.

February 13, 2007 The Washington Post Karen DeYoung Marine Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said yesterday that he has no information indicating Iran's government is directing the supply of lethal weapons to Shiite insurgent groups in Iraq. "We know that the explosively formed projectiles are manufactured in Iran," Pace told Voice of America during a visit to Australia. "What I would not say is that the Iranian government, per se, knows about this." "It is clear that Iranians are involved, and it's clear that materials from Iran are involved," he continued, "but I would not say by what I know that the Iranian government clearly knows or is complicit." Ok you two, in Bush's press conference he stated that the IEds are being brought in by the Quds force and that they are directly under the control of the Supreme council. Now along comes Pace blasting his mouth off casting doubt on the connection. This is what is killing us, these people in positions of power disagreeing with the president. Pace should keep his mouth shut instead of shooting it off contradicting the President's position. If you think what he said was MSM manipulation, then you both need to enroll in special ed.
