So crazy it's probably true

Matthew Yglesias / proudly eponymous since 2002

Big Book Matt reports that an "anonymous individual" has told him that someone in the Vice President's Office wants to nuke Iran's nuclear facilities, then deny that we used anything but conventional weapons. When the radiation is picked up, we'd just say that it's from the nukes that Iran was building.

The problem isn't just the incompetence of this administration, it's that too many members of it are completely and utterly insane. Stupid, too. If nothing else, the Russians would probably notice.
