Victor Davis Hanson on Newsweek !!!

Professor Hanson makes a strong case against Newsweek Magazine's anti-Bush Administration position regarding Iran by specifying that most of their positions are not backed by verifiable sources. This is an issue he has frequently raised in the past as many political commentators frame their stories around sources who cannot be quoted or cross examined as they remain unanimous.

Casting the First Stone
Newsweek has some nerve to be questioning — with unnamed sources, of course — Bush’s intentions.
By Victor Davis Hanson on 2/16/07

A new round of Middle East hysteria has broken out in Washington. It goes like this: Iran is not really such a serious threat; but once again we are cooking intelligence, ignoring moderates, being needlessly provocative, acting unilaterally and preemptive, looking for a mere pretext to strike, and refusing to try diplomacy. Supposedly Mr. Bush, if just for political reasons alone, can’t wait to face the bad choice of removing the Iranians’ centrifuges and the worst choice of letting them be.
