The Coming War with Iran, continued (Leiter)

Sometimes government spokesmen inadvertently tell the truth.  From an interview on National Public Radio this morning with Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns:

[T]he larger point is this: Iran is seeking a position of dominance in the Middle East. It’s very clear. Iran has a regional agenda, which is very much at odds with that of the United States.

Presumably, it is at odds with the U.S. agenda of "dominance of the Middle East."  No doubt it is.
