The October Surprise: Iran The October Surprise: Iran

Our former Senator, Gary Hart in: The October Surprise apparently believes that:

It should come as no surprise if the Bush Administration undertakes a preemptive war against Iran sometime before the November election.

I think that the idea of using foreign military excursions for political gain was perfected by Bill Clinton. I can only surmise that this is projection on the part of Hart. Since Clinton would do this, then the evil Bush would do worse.

What is embarassing is that Hart was able to win election here in Colorado. On the other hand, he was never quite as bad as his colleague, Tim Worth, who was giving "Global Cooling" speeches into the 1990s.
