Clinton Confirmation Hearing: HRC on Iran's Nuclear Program

By Spencer Ackerman

Kerry asks about a "bottom line" from Obama: is it acceptable for Iran to have a weapon "or is it simply not desirable?" Clinton: "The President-elect has said repeatedly it is unacceptable." Will pursue diplomacy "with all its multitudinous tools" but "no option is off the table," a euphemism for military force.

Another permanent state of emergency

The Liberty Papers
by tarran

01/11/09

Many people have expressed a hope that Barack Obama will be an improvement over George Bush and that he will roll back some of George Bush’s excesses. They see in Obama a man who understands nuanced argument, who at least acknowledges that those who oppose his policies can have good reasons and arguments for doing so. However, those who are so hopeful are doomed to have their hopes dashed. Barack Obama may give of good vibes, but a review of his policy papers show nothing more than a few crumbs of freedom thrown to the people. Make no mistake, under Barack Obama’s leadership, the federal government will seize more wealth, violate more liberties and wreck the economy more thoroughly than George Bush did...

In Washington, All Roads Lead to Tehran

By Daniel Luban

As the war in Gaza approaches its third week, a chorus of influential voices in the U.S. media has cast the conflict as a proxy war in which the real enemy is not Hamas but Iran.

Gaza conflict a template for US policy on Iran

The Gaza operation, quite aside from its immediate lethal brutality, is part of a larger and longer Israeli strategy: to convince the incoming United States administration that engaging Iran directly in a possible grand bargain about the future of the Middle East and Afghanistan would be a dangerous mistake.
