It's amazing how my views on the war, Iran, and many other things are assumed to be simply adoption of Bush's views on things.

Do you think I don't have the brains to construct a judgment on Hersh and his pronouncements without consulting my talking points from the White House?

This is why it's called "derangement" syndrome.

My information on things like this comes from a broad variety of sources, across the board, not just "denials from the White House." At this point, the ONLY evidence I am seeing for imminent military action against Iran from the U.S. is from hysterical leftist speculation. There is a finite chance of a naval blockade of Iran, but even that is remote.

Quite a few famed journalists remain famous despite a spotty record of accuracy. Woodward is another example.
