Bush announced just a day after a reports of espionage in Iran by Seymour Hersh that he will not rule out action. Awesome.

“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,” the Pentagon’s chief spokesman, Lawrence DiRita, said in a statement.

Hersh sounds more like a phony — well, loser is a better word — the more I read about him.

A much more extended response about him here. And here. Very interesting conclusions. And this is why I simply collect the thinking of such good minds.

UPDATE: The U.S. is now punishing 8 of China’s largest companies for aiding Iran in the development of its ballistic missiles. Stepping it up!
