Some people are just too dumb for words.  Case in point, yet another Huffington Post blogger, Paula Gordon.  She writes an "open letter" to Nancy Pelosi telling her to not to authorize any attacks on Iran.

Here's her reasoning:

A plan is not an action and stories about America attacking Iran have been floating around for years. However, given:
• the deteriorating condition of Iraq,
• setbacks in Afghanistan,
• overextended and depleted U.S. military,
• astonishing cost of the Iraq adventure and related actions (threatening the economic viability of the nation and demonstrably diminishing the quality of life),
• ongoing intelligence failures (c.f., Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA, by Tim Weiner),
• the demonstrated inability of this Administration to plan for what-happens-next (e.g., Amb (ret) Peter Galbraith's The End of Iraq:  How American Incompetence Created a War Without End),
• the potentially catastrophic consequences of attacking Iran,
• the inattentiveness of mainstream media,
• the Administration's arrogant disregard of the Constitution, the laws of the land and the people's will expressed through Congress,
• the messianic paranoia laced throughout this Administration, and
• the feeble response of Congress to all the above,

I think what she meant was:

Senator Pelosi,

I don't have the foggiest idea on what's going on in Iraq.  I don't know or don't care to do even the most basic research on the rumors of Iranian support of insurgents who are shooting at and murdering US troops.  I certainly don't think that we should actually retaliate against people who are shooting at US troops.

I mean, God forbid we actually DEFEND ourselves at anything.

But I'm getting off subject.  Because of the deteriorating situation in Iraq, and setbacks in Afghanistan, that automatically gives the Iranians full permission to take pot shots at our guys.

I certainly can't be bothered to research Iran's support of Hezbollah, a known terrorist organization, and be deeply troubled by Iran's obvious nuclear weapons ambitions. 

I also can't put two and two together and think that maybe if the Iranians weren't supporting the insurgency in Iraq that maybe the picture in Iraq might be a LOT more better then it appears on the news.  I mean, that would make Republicans right, wouldn't it?

In closing Ms. Pelosi, I want to make sure that our friends and enemies know that we're going to back down from a fight if it gets too hard.  I want our enemies to know that if we're busy with something else, we can't be bothered to retaliate against known aggressors.  I just want everyone to know that when the going gets tough, liberals will push for withdrawal because they're pussies.

I'm pretty sure that's the gist of the article she wrote.
