Cheney Staff Engage in Insubordination Against Bush (w/ Poll)

Thu May 24, 2007 at 10:11:07 AM PDT

Posted today by Steve Clemons over at The Washington Note.  

There is a race currently underway between different flanks of the administration to determine the future course of US-Iran policy.

On one flank are the diplomats, and on the other is Vice President Cheney's team and acolytes -- who populate quite a wide swath throughout the American national security bureaucracy

Clemons reports that Cheney's staff are intentionally trying to subvert the will of President Bush in regards to his diplomacy effort with Iran.

Bush favors Sec. of State Rice's plan for increased diplomacy with Iran a la N. Korea in regards to uranium enrichment.

Cheney and his evil minions would rather use Israel to create a Middle East conflict that would last years if not decades.
