Tapsearch Com EditorThe Bush Administration and Iran
January 23rd 2007 05:11
My new piece is up at The American Spectator. It addresses the fact that the Bush Administration has increasingly talked about Iran in the context of its meddling in Iraq. Some fear the administration could use the 2002 Iraq war authorization to invade -- if Iran is harming Iraq, they're part of the same war Congress OKed.
I argue that (A) even if the adminstration won't flat-out admit it, the authorization won't cover Iran, and that (B) while Iran does pose a threat to Iraq, our biggest problem with Iran is its nuclear program. It would be ridiculous to invade on the grounds that Iran is hurting Iraq.
