Sent to you by Sean McBride via Google Reader: Top Obama Adviser Signs on to Roadmap to War with Iran via Signs of the Times on 10/26/08 If you haven't seen it already, check out the op-ed by former Sens. Daniel Coats and Charles Robb in the Washington Post today, entitled "Stopping a Nuclear Tehran." It is the summary of a report issued last month by an organization called The Bipartisan Policy Center (at whose website you can find the full report), and it amounts to a roadmap to war with Iran to which a senior Middle East adviser in the Obama campaign - namely, Dennis Ross - has apparently signed on.
[UPDATE: Make sure you also read in this connection today's New York Times article by David Sanger, particularly the part about the purported e-mail from Obama that was routed through an unidentified "aide," who I presume to be Ross. The coincidence of the appearance of this article with the Coats-Robb op-ed suggests an effort to box Obama into a pre-election position. The Iran part of the story by Sanger, who considers himself a foreign-policy player, as well as a reporter, tracks the report's narrative quite nicely.] Things you can do from here: - Subscribe to Signs of the Times using Google Reader - Get started using Google Reader to easily keep up with all your favorite sites
