Is that the goal of the war? To degrade Iranian power projection in the region?

Partway through the clip from TYT, that I posted earlier this morning, there is discussion of the PNAC crowd, which populated quite a bit of the Bush junta. In 96, that group published a hit list of seven countries Israel wanted the US to knock over. That list included Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Iran. There is also a segment of General Wes Clark talking about a visit to the Pentagon in the early 2000s. Clark was chatting with a serving General, and the General said he had just received a memo from Rumsfeld saying the US was going to war with Iraq. Clark asked why. The General had no idea why the US would want to attack Iraq.

Here's that link again. The discussion of the Israeli hit list from 96 starts at the 9:20 mark.

You may notice the friction between Ana and Cenk. He is increasingly going off on tirades, interrupting Ana's trying to report on the issues.
