The Iranian people will not fight a war against the USA unless the mullahs hold a gun to their head. 60% of Iran are under the age of 30 and they love our culture and us.

I for one would HATE to use the full military might of the greatest military the earth has ever seen on these people. You are a monster for suggesting they stand a chance.

The entire Islamic world hates President Bush and will NOT rally for George against Iran! The Shia in Iraq have already stated that they will side with Iran if Bush attacks them > they represent about 60% of the Iraqi population!

Also Adolf Hitler thought Russia was a weak, and stupid nation, that would collapse when he attacked them > ended up he was wrong and lost a half million troops at Stalingrad! Bush will find out that Iran will bite his ass!

Yes war is being planned on Iran, The Neocons think that Iran will cower and not retaliate, but they are very stupid and naive! Iran will retaliate most likely by sending 10 to 20 divisions into Iraq, as Syria sends in another 5 to 10, so our troops will be caught in a vice in Iraq and slaughtered!

Iran has a military on par with Iraq. They will fold at the first site of a B1 if it even gets that far. The mullah’s rule the country but they don’t have complete control of the military and they certainly do not have the love of the people of Iran.

My guess is we will obliterate the offending nuclear reactors and “secret” enrichment sites and stand back and watch the Islamofascist regime implode. I would hope the USA has the foresight to also take out as much as the ruling political body as possible first then follow up with the strikes on the nuclear targets. All in all it promises to be a great show if short run. Don’t look for shock and awe look for surgical strikes and then complete chaos inside Iran as each faction tries to take over in the confusion.

The idea that Iran could manage a battlefield victory over the USA is ludicrous to anyone who knows anything about US military capabilities. The fact is the entire Islamic Empire could mobilize against the US and it would be like we were fighting WWII Germany . It would be a slaughter.

There are tons of ideas around here. Bush = Hitler, Bush owns the MSM, Bush is a racist cracker, Bush is a monkey, Bush sucks, etc.

So, stop making shit up. You are a fool and an asshole.

OK, let’s get this straight.

First he said:
“I didn’t know Jack Abramoff. I may have met him once. I had no relationship to him, and the money that I raised from those tribes had nothing to do with him.”

Later he said:
Some of his under—underlings worked with some low-level employees in my office. I’m telling you, I never met the man.

Interesting.

#1)Boehner’s giving this interview and answering questions as they come up, not reading some carefully prepared statement. If he’s anything like the rest of us, he’s likely to say things that imprecise and not always perfectly consistent. So, when you do that, may I simply take if for granted YOU are LYING? Or would you hope I would give you the benefit of the doubt… and that, if I was troubled by any apparent inconsistency, I’d ask you about it? (Note that Russert did NOT do such a thing — is a dolt who didn’t perceive the lie?)

#2) You, on the other hand, have had the opportunity to listen and think about what he said (and read the transcript? I hope) So I would assume you could more precise in your statements. Yet you quote Boehner as saying “I met him once”, when what he actually said was “I may have met him once.” Do you think that little word “may” is insignificant? Or were you just being careless and imprecise yourself. . . ? Then you add “at all” to his second quote.

And finally, you leave out his statement that he did not KNOW the man (whom he says he may have met once — is that so hard to understand? Have you or anyone you know ever had a job where you (they) meet numerous people? Do you know how easy it is in such a position for there to be people you know or have heard OF, but don’t really have personal dealings with, whom you don’t believe you ever actually met, yet you realize you might have…?

In short, you make BOTH statements significantly stronger than Boehner himself did, and made assumptions about him that you would object to our making about you or your friends.

Listen, you are perfectly entitled to follow up on the matter. If it turns out he was well acquainted with Abramoff, or otherwise had corrupt dealings, go after him! But from the two statements you’re referring to (rather sloppily, I’m afraid), you have. . . nothing.

You suggest that Boehner JUSTIFIED certain practices as “longstanding traditions.” Exactly when and where did he say this? I can’t find any such expression in the transcript.

It’s true he did say something about the tobacco money having been an “old practice” (”tradition” if you like). But look at what he said about that practice:

“It was a big mistake, and I regret it. I shouldn’t have done it. It was an old practice that had gone on in the House for a long time, and I do regret it. But I also worked with Speaker Gingrich at the time to change the rules of the House to prohibit the practice.”

So, are you actually claiming that his admitting an act was “a big mistake”, that he shouldn’t have done it, AND then working to CHANGE the rules to PROHIBIT the practice is somehow trying to JUSTIFY it??!

Please feel free to comment.

I implore y’all to read it. Even the trolls. Looks like we’re one small Iranian strip of land away from global oil domination. Truly amazing read.
