Not in Front of the Kids, Honey

Fox reports the Bush administration had planned to release a detailed dossier on Iran’s interference and support for terrorism in Iraq.

Now, U.S. military officials say the decision to go public with the findings has been put on hold for several reasons, including concerns over the reaction from Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — as well as inevitable follow-up questions that would be raised over what the U.S. should do about it.

The report goes on to detail exactly how much the Democratic Congress does not what to deal seriously with Iran.  I suspect the concerns are not so much with how Ahmadinejad will react or what the U.S. will do about it, but rather how Congress will react, and how it will try to prevent the U.S. from doing anything about it. 

The grownups can’t talk about ugly truths in front of the kids, because the kids aren’t ready to handle it.

Related from CNN: Iranian involvement suspected in Karbala compound attack. 

After the kids see their friends talking about more of that kind of stuff, they may be more receptive to the tough love from the ‘rents.

Dan senses some Riehlpolitik at play here.

   So, did Hillary show George what she does to evil men? I have to keep reminding myself: “At least he’s not Kerry. At least he’s not Kerry.”

   Anybody who believes Iran isn’t directly responsible for much of the trouble in Iraq has got his head stuck firmly in the sand… or up his ass. One of those.
