Cheney’s office advocated for Iran attacks ‘on a daily basis.’
http://thinkprogress.org/2007/12/04/cheneys-office-advocated-for-iran-attacks-on-a-daily-basis/

The BBC reports:

(T)he new NIE will make it harder for proponents of military action against Iran to argue their case.

One source, who has close links to US intelligence, said that members of Vice President Dick Cheney’s staff continued to call for military strikes against Iran “on a daily basis”.

Atrios adds: “It must be understood that since our intelligence agencies don’t believe Iran has a nuclear weapons program, it also means that they don’t know where such a program would be physically located if it did exist. This means that any desires of Dick Cheney and his people to bomb Iran simply involve… bombing the shit out of Iran."

1. No problem. They could jusk ask Rummy where the nukes in Iran are.
He has a 6th sense for where WMDs are located. Case in point: Early on in the invasion of Iraq.....


While boasting that US and British forces controlled vast tracts of Iraq, Rumsfeld said they had not yet reached the parts of the country where the weapons were being concealed—“around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat.”


"East, West, South, and North of Baghdad SOMEWHAT." Didn't I tell you he knows?
