Will Dick Cheney's fantasy of carpet bombing the tiny mushroom-capped house of Smurf-sized Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ever come true? President Bush kept the dream alive, barely, in a press conference this morning that centered on Monday's surprising report about Iran's nuclear intentions.
