Steve Clemons doesn't think Bush will bomb Iran. But he doesn't rule out an "accidental" conflict.
We should also worry about the kind of scenario David Wurmser floated, meaning an engineered provocation. An "accidental war" would escalate quickly and "end run," as Wurmser put it, the president's diplomatic, intelligence and military decision-making apparatus. It would most likely be triggered by one or both of the two people who would see their political fortunes rise through a new conflict -- Cheney and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
That kind of war is much more probable and very much worth worrying about.
The neocon movement has failed. Cheney and his ilk need to pack it up before they do more damage to our nation.
