Trying to Recoup Some Republican Favor?

Former CIA director George Tenet says we have to do more in the Middle East to counteract Iran's growing influence. Of course, this is just what the administration wants to hear, and they'd love it if his first recommendation were to invade Iran. Perhaps that might make up for the book he wrote which blabbed that the White House planned the invasion of Iraq well in advance. (And you could have knocked us over with a feather when we heard that!)

Sadly for them, his first recommendation appears to be to work on the Israel-Palestine peace deal and bolster our relations with other countries to strengthen our own standing.

In other words, do things diplomatically. No mention of invading Iran yet. Well, damnit, at this rate, he'll never set foot in the Rose Garden again!
