CBS Jumps On The 5th Column Bandwagon

Jealous of ABC's exposure of the US covert action against Iran, CBS attempts to counter with U.S. Working To Sabotage Iran Nuke Program.

So while only an idiot would expect that the US wouldn't work to sabotage the Iran nuclear program, CBS get full marks for its attempt to out treason ABC. As such ABC wins the Copperhead Link Of The Day Award.

ABC Acts As Iran's 5th Column

In what seems to be a deliberate effort to undermine any effort to curtail Iran's rush to obtain nuclear capabilities ABC reveals the authorization of covert actions against Iran. You know the regime that held the US embassy personnel hostage back in the Carter administration and has acted against western interests ever since.

But then again the mullahs don't like Bush and as the saying goes "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".

Congrats ABC. You win the Copperhead Link Of The Day Award.

Bush Authorizes New Covert Action Against Iran

If it takes some effort – we’re not interested

We understand that significant change requires time and sacrifice, but if we can't accomplish everything in the first 5 minutes, we'd rather give up. We can’t sustain our interest in the long view and usually the effort involved is just too much trouble. Someone else can carry the load. But, because of our moral ambiguity and lack of resolve, we have built up a tremendous store of self-loathing. As a result we hate anyone that doesn't exhibit the same spinelessness that we do and would rather side with our enemies than support those who's actions make our failings so evident. We are the Copperheads !

Copperheads in History

From Wikipedia

During the American Civil War (1861-1865), the Copperheads nominally favored the Union but strongly opposed the war, for which they blamed abolitionists, and they demanded immediate peace and resisted draft laws. They wanted Lincoln and the Republicans ousted from power, seeing the president as a tyrant who was destroying American republican values with his despotic and arbitrary actions.

Some Copperheads tried to persuade Union soldiers to desert. They talked of helping Confederate prisoners of war seize their camps and escape. They sometimes met with Confederate agents and took money. The Confederacy encouraged their activities whenever possible.
