Lawrence DiRita on Latest Seymour Hersh Article

[DulceDecorum]

The Iranian regime’s apparent nuclear ambitions and its demonstrated support for terrorist organizations is a global challenge that deserves much more serious treatment than Seymour Hersh provides in the New Yorker article titled “The Coming Wars.”

1. The irony here is that they didn't deny it.

The DOD used words like 'specious' and 'conspiracy' but they failed to use the words 'untrue' or 'it's a lie'.

They issued a spate of non-denials.

2. And we should believe them????

They sure are coming out with strong language against Hersh on this one.

Either Hersh is right, or they have set up an elaborate bogus sting a la 60 minutes to discredit him. There is no other explanation.

3. So DiRita is basically confirming what Seymour said!

This master neocon DiRita is replying to Seymour Hersh by basically confirming his thesis, and starting to prepare us for a face-off with Iran.

4. Their probably are iffy sources in that article

Boils down to a crisis of confidence. If the DOD ever told the goddamn truth about anything, you might put a lid on the conspiracy theories.
