Me, of course. (Seriously, people, if you haven't figured that out by now you're simply missing the spirit of this blog and my very existence on the planet. Keep up!)
All anyone needs to know to form a rational opinion about the last report is this: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad thought it was just swell.
That's right, the drooling man's Hugo Chavez has become a big, cuddly Moham...oops, Teddy Bear ever since the NIE belched its latest best-guesses. After calling the report "a step forward" Moudykins went on to suggest what the U.S. should do to follow up and become best pals with Iran. Hint: it doesn't involve being skeptical.
I don't know how to say "I've got you right where I want you," in Farsi but I bet it can be accidentally translated as "a step forward". When an avowed, hate-spewing enemy suddenly grins and invites you over for a drink it's time to ask a lot of questions.
Strangely enough, there is a group of people in this country who would rather take whatever Ahmadinejad takes at face value than default to believing the president. They're called Democratic congressional leaders and they're, sadly, not subjected to drug tests while working.
You could put this smelly rat into a lead container, send it to the bottom of the ocean and it would still stink. It may be our busiest shopping season of the year but that doesn't mean we have to buy whatever this dictator pimp is selling.
