Bill Kristol was on the news shows this weekend saying the U.S. might bomb Iran in a year and that "we think" we know where Iran's bombs are. We've got George Bush saying that we have no plans to bomb Iran, but all options are on the table. This is exactly what the neocons did with Iraq. They were on-again/off-again and full of conflicting information about the problems and the solutions needed. When we started invading Iraq (and even during the bombing of it for several months prior) Americans were confused. Were Iraqis being freed by us or were they our enemy? Was this about weapons or a personal issue with Hussein? Oil?
Mass confusion. It gets a neocon agenda done. They quickly forget that their perceptions of the Middle East have thus far been absolutely wrong. Meanwhile, the circumference of the U.S.-as-target grows.
