The Redirection. A Strategic Shift

February 25th, 2007 · 1 Comment

&tSeymour Hersh;/a>: “In the past few months, as the situation in Iraq has deteriorated, the Bush Administration, in both its public diplomacy and its covert operations, has significantly shifted its Middle East strategy. The “redirection,” as some inside the White House have called the new strategy, has brought the United States closer to an open confrontation with Iran and, in parts of the region, propelled it into a widening sectarian conflict between Shiite and Sunni Muslims.”

    want to scream — or is it that I’m hearing a scream echoing back from the future? “A screaming comes across the sky,” the famous opening line of Gravity’s Rainbow, might just as well be the title of Hersh’s story in the New Yorker. “A screaming comes across the sky.” We’re rapidly approaching an apocalyptic future that has a screaming written all across the sky — unless we really scream right here, at home, on the ground — loud enough to start impeachment proceedings.
