Whether this is true or false, Seymour has gone over to the dark side, and should be up on charges.

[bilhosty]

"Pulitzer Prize-winning US journalist Seymour Hersh"

should read traitor alert.

[MNJohnnie]

Hey Hersey, what happened to your claims that Bush was going to nuke Iran?

[onyx]

Cripes.
He gets worse with age.

[NaughtiusMaximus]

Well, Iran has promised us a surprise on Aug. 22. I'm watching my calendar. I don't think the plane bombings were all he had in mind.

[thoughtomator]

DUmmie feed. They have to get their fix or they go into delusion withdrawal.

[Kakaze]

" Nonetheless, Hersh writes, a former senior intelligence official says some officers serving with the Joint Chiefs of Staff remain deeply concerned that the administration will have a far more positive assessment of the air campaign than they should.

"There is no way that (Defense Secretary Donald) Rumsfeld and Cheney will draw the right conclusion about this," the report quotes the former official as saying. "When the smoke clears, they'll say it was a success, and they'll draw reinforcement for their plan to attack Iran." "

This whole article is merely conjecture. I betting this "Former Official" was a clinton appointee.

[dasboot]

"Where's the PLANNNN?"

Well, thar y' go. And it sounds like a good'un.

So much for a 'do nothing' administration. Now they're just pissed because the 'something' is not what they had in mind.

Hey, Hersh...I elected smarter warriors and tacticians than me to be sneaky and deadly on my behalf. Thanks fer letting me know they're getting the job done.

WaddaMaroon.

Pulitzer Prize? Well, Walter Durantee won the pulitzer prize, and he was complicit in covering up the genocide of millions by the USSR.

As far as I'm concerned, there's NOTHING good to be said about the Pulitzer Prize until it's revoked from the Treason Times and Walter Durantee!

The problem with this is the fact that Hezbullah still stands. If the US were involved or if this had any pre-planning in Israel there would not have been so much hesitation by Israeli politicians.

[Mo1]

And the media wonders why they are in dumps

[msnimje]

Citing an unnamed Middle East expert...

Read, "I am just making this $hit up."

[tlb]

Did nobody read beyond the headline?

"Israel had devised a plan for attacking Hezbollah -- and shared it with Bush administration officials -- well before the July 12 kidnappings."

It's unsurprising the Israelis would touch base with the US before taking action. That's quite different from the headline of Bush and Cheney "planning Israeli operations".

Besides, were it "planned" by the US I suspect the munitions the Israelis urgently requested be supplied half way through the operation would have been delivered prior to the first shot.

[piasa]

Seymour Hersh ping

[gakrak]

When ever I see unnamed middle eastern source, I immediately see red flags. The credibility of this stuff is zero in my opinion. Amen.

[HAL9000]

Hersh will be on CNN Late Edition, 11AM ET.

[Darkwolf377]

Leave Seymour alone, he's just giving support to those who want to expose the great Zionist-Oil Company-Storm Window Company Conspiracy!

Whenever I wonder about someone like him I always ask, Who benefits from his reporting, and who suffers?

Can the US in any way benefit from this story? Nope.

Can the terrorists be hurt by the reporting of this story? Nope.

[ncountylee]

Seymour Hersh....ROTFLMAO.

[LeoWindhorse]

this is the guy that a 'hot mike' caught Mr. Bush saying to Mr. Chaney , before their first election , "this guy is a real a-hole from the New York Times" Or something to that effect.
Hersh has no doubt been trying to get back at him ever since.
What a small minded weenie.

[Beckwith]

Isn't "Pulitzer Prize-winning" a pejorative?
