Iraq War Redux: Iran

Why am I getting this queasy deja vu feeling?

Molly Ivins:

Two weeks ago, Amir Taheri had an Op-Ed article in the Canadian National Post claiming that the Iranians have a law requiring Jews to wear yellow badges. It turned out to be a complete fabrication and has been the subject of much contempt among bloggers. So Tuesday, Taheri was invited to the White House along with other "experts" to give the [Preznut] their "honest opinions." With advice like that, our war in Iran will be a slam-dunk.

Interesting question: did the junta plant the story in the first place? To get people all riled up about what bad people the Iranians are? I certainly recall that many winger blogs were all afroth about this fake story; and as we all know, any story ever told lives on in the wingnutosphere forever.

Perhaps Congress should investigate? Naw. Heckuva job these people are doing.
