Countdown to War with Iran - Where is the Opposition?

The signals are clear for all to see. This neocon White House is using the same propaganda they used prior to the invasion of Iraq. And what is shocking, it seems to be working. There are very few in positions of influence speaking out:
President Bush said Monday the United States "will respond firmly" if Iran escalates military action in Iraq and endangers American forces. But Bush emphasized he has no intention of invading Iran.

Bush also acknowledged skepticism concerning U.S. intelligence about Iran, because Washington was wrong in accusing Iraq of harboring weapons of mass destruction before the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. "I'm like a lot of Americans that say, 'Well, if it wasn't right in Iraq, how do you know it's right in Iran,'" the president said.

There is another reason for the escalation of threats directed towards the Iranians by Bush, he is trying to wag the dog. This President wants divert attention from the fiasco in Iraq. He is doing this by blaming Iran for his own miscalculation.
