Cheney advocating confrontation with Iran.
McClatchy reports that behind the scenes “the president’s top aides have been engaged in an intensive internal debate over how to respond” to Iran. “Vice President Dick Cheney several weeks ago proposed launching airstrikes at suspected training camps in Iraq run by the Quds force, a special unit of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to two U.S. officials who are involved in Iran policy.”

Say….what’s that noise?
Oh yes…it’s the drums of war. They’ve been beating so long now that I’ve been pretty much tuning them out…which is exactly what this administration has been hoping for.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:16 pmYeah great genius, start another war you can’t win.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:17 pmF@CKIN’ IDIOT!
-Puds Force to Attack Quds Force-
August 9th, 2007 at 9:18 pmdamnit TP! do you need a den mother, or what???
Cheney recently advocated air strike on Iran.
[...]
“Vice President Dick Cheney several weeks ago proposed launching airstrikes at suspected training camps in Iraq
i know, i know… parsing…
we just expect better of you…
…
and now for my original thought:
PLEASE MAKE IT STOP! STOP THIS MADNESS!!!
c’mon – i wanna see my future grandbabies!
August 9th, 2007 at 9:20 pm:-(
It is hard to see how the following sentence, “Vice President Dick Cheney several weeks ago proposed launching airstrikes at suspected training camps in Iraq run by the Quds force, a special unit of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to two U.S. officials who are involved in Iran policy†can be read as advocating an attack on Iran. Rather, it advocates an attack within the borders of Iraq on a camp suspected of being run by Iran. While this may be reckless it is not an attack on Iran itself. It does not serve the purpose of honest and thoughtful discussion to attach it to a misleading header. This is particularly true for a web site that has made its name pointing out such misrepresentations on the part of the rightward leaning media.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:21 pmYes Cheney wants to ignite global nuclear WWIII, killing all of us, by bombing Iran. Thank the Congress for being wussies and doing nothing to stop it.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:22 pmSomebody should advocate…
…a raid on Cheney’s houses and offices…
…he’s a mass murdering thief…
…and TRAITOR…
…and needs to be brought to justice…
…it would be comical if it wasn’t so tragic to witness…
…HUNDREDS of al Crackers lining the streets to boo and jeer…
…and senators PASSIONATELY decrying how, “barbaric!”…
…Michael Vick is…
…while the world’s most despicable war criminals and profiteers…
… Bushiva, L’il Dick., and their supporters…(YOUR neighbors, family members, and friends)……
…and the mass murdering Janjaweed in Darfur…
…go unmolested…
…DUHmerikkka is TRULY SICKO!
August 9th, 2007 at 9:22 pmStart the DRAFT!
Peter you better sign up now, before you get drafted!
August 9th, 2007 at 9:24 pmOkay, right now, you’ve got NO trolls on this thread. When one shows up, DON’T take the bait. Those rotten SOBs have been runnng amok here of late. If you don’t let them, they can’t take over here.
DON’T FEED THE TROLLS.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:26 pmDON’t FEED THE TROLLS! DON’T FEED THE TROLLS!
August 9th, 2007 at 9:27 pmDON’t FEED THE TROLLS! DON’T FEED THE TROLLS!
DON’t FEED THE TROLLS! DON’T FEED THE TROLLS!
DON’t FEED THE TROLLS! DON’T FEED THE TROLLS!
Peter you need therapy or you just love being a Bush fascist.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:28 pmRe: 4 & 5, perhaps the advocated strike is within the borders in Iraq. But if someone attacked a US military outpost in Iraq, wouldn’t it be fair to call that a strike against America? America and Iran aren’t just geographic locations, they are military/political entities.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:28 pmTRoS,
I know you like to think “not replying” to them will work. Most are evangelical, need I say more.?
August 9th, 2007 at 9:28 pmJay,
It’s just me… (M r P)
August 9th, 2007 at 9:29 pmSorry Republic > wrote my post before yours popped up. Trolls are slime and want to be attacked to gum up the threads.

Comment by Jay Randal — August 9, 2007 @ 9:28 pm
What are you going to do, Jay, start an endless circular argument w/ this troll, and let him take over the whole thread? You guys are losing here and don’t even know it.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:30 pmMr P > you are now Peter on here?
August 9th, 2007 at 9:30 pmTRoS,
Lay off Jay, he is a good guy.
You are the one who feeds trolls all day with your “DON’T FEED THE TROLLS” posts.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:31 pmJay Randal,
Yes, if you try to type my real name, you info will be erased. Too many people hijacked it to embarrass me, so I guess TP made it off limits.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:32 pmIranian weapons are killing americans in Iraq. More sanctions are needed against the government and more support is needed for the dissidents in Iran. Ahmedinejad is the Hitler of our time, and he will need to be dealth with appropriatly. Military action at this time would be innapropriate, but must not be ruled out for the future.

Comment by DittoHeads Suck — August 9, 2007 @ 9:28 pm
Come back here tomrrow and read one of these threads from top to bottom, w/ the “Chimp leg-h*mper” this and the “nazi-ball*icker” that everywhere. Is this what you want to present to the world?
We have proven you can stop the trolls. You have to do it properly.
If a troll’s comment is nonsense, lable it as such and ignore the troll. When you address a comment to a troll directly, you let them into the conversation. The trolls are taking over thread after thread because you guys let them.
Go ahead, call all the names you want. YOU ACCOMPLISH nothing and just make yourselves look bad. The trolls are manipulatng you so easily and you don’t even know it. When you lose your temper and start calling names, you’re not in control of the thread – the trolls are.
You guys are getting led around by your balls and don’t even know it.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:35 pmMr. P. was Gregory from Narnavinia or some such yesterday, he is going down the list of historical christianists fror his daily screen name.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:35 pmre:13. If it there were a strike on an officially recognized US outpost of facility, then I would say that there may be some validity to what you say. But there is no indication from the text that this outpost is officially recognized by Iran. The probability (though this is speculation) is that Iran denies having any such military operation within in Iraq. If that is so, and I am assuming that it is, then it is misleading to equate the bombing of the training camp as being an attack on Iran. Countries have sovereignty only over there territorial borders and internationally recognized embassies – so that too would lead one to differentiate an attack on the camp from an attack on Iran itself.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:35 pmThe header has been changed – Thanks TP for doing the right thing.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:42 pmCheney knows that bombing anything along the Iranian border would be an excuse to drop some bombs into Iran itself. Thus the hope of goading Iran to attack in reply and thus to justify Cheney’s dream of mass slaughter in using that as pretext to drop nukes on Iran.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:44 pmhe is going down the list of historical christianists fror his daily screen name.

can you imagine? …how does that get you to neoCON heaven?
August 9th, 2007 at 9:45 pm…
Ok James, I see what you were saying and agree that we should avoid being misleading. Glad to see the header changed.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:46 pmwhy, thank you, TP, for changing that headline…
August 9th, 2007 at 9:47 pmyour mother thanks you too!
…
This monster Cheney, and fellow thugs, are without a doubt, planning something to make sure that their chosen ones take over in 2009. I believe it. I have read 2 stories today about the threat of IRAN; something is in the works; (I “pray” it fails, of course, but this is not to say that something won’t be tried)…the drumbeat and the propaganda of Iraq took about a year === and we are almost at the year before next “election”..coincidence? I am beginning to think not. THESE MONSTERS CHENEY, ROVE, (and still involved Rummy) and Wolfowitz, Bill Kristol are planning something. WE HAVE TO STAY VILIGENT. something is planned so Americans, once again, follow like sheep, again, into the abyss.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:47 pmCheney is Jeff Dahmer with a silver spoon.Why anyone shows this coward murderer any respect is beyond me. I will rejoice the day this piece of filth meets his demise,same with his cur of a wife.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:47 pmblueseahorse > Bush & Cheney have the entire month of August to set off a false-flag attack on US and to use that as excuse to bomb Iran.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:50 pmDemocrats in Congress shot themselves in the feet, before the Congressional vacation, so they will be unable to do anything to stop Cheney’s dream attack on Iran. I believe that the bombing of Iran will be the Bush Regime’s “Waterloo” defeat, but remember Napoleon took the entire nation of France down with him.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:54 pmCongress returns on September 4th, so still 26 days to ignite WWIII.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:56 pmJay Randal = spot on.
August 9th, 2007 at 9:59 pmbut remember Napoleon took the entire nation of France down with him.
Comment by Jay Randal — August 9, 2007 @ 9:54 pm
Hey as long as we have our own French Revolution, I’m all for it.
FRENCH FRIES, FRENCH TOAST, AND FRENCH WINE!
August 9th, 2007 at 10:01 pmMaybe – if our presence in Iraq was legal, ethical, or moral.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:01 pm“Iranian weapons are killing americans in Iraq. “
Proof please, other than saying that our government said it is so. I will not believe anything this government tells me without hard solid proof and thus far, there is none that Iran is involved in Iraq.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:02 pmConservatives complain that Iran is “MEDDLING” in Iraq. The outrage!!! They are “MEDDLING” in Iraq!! Don’t they see the utter hypocracy of this charge? At least Iran did not invade, occupy, and sell-off their resources-resulting in one million dead and four million refugees.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:03 pmYou mean we aren’t attacking ANY force that is putting our soldiers in danger? Seems this might be one part of this occupation we could “win.” The ground war seems to be at a stalemate.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:03 pmSome of the boxes of “Iranian” weapons found in Iraq had dates on them of month/day/year. Only US dates this way.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:04 pmWhat else is new?
Hasn’t this story, about Cheney advocating action against Iran, been report at least every 2-3 months for the last 3-4 years already?
All bark… no bite.

Comment by The Republic of Stupidity “
I have been pointing this out for days. Hopefully the regulars here will listen to you a little more than they listen to me. I work from 7:30 to 5:30. I can get in a couple of posts in the morning and then when I get home, I like to read what’s going on here. I get to about post 20 in every thread and realize that there is nothing there but trolls and the people who like to play with trolls.
I am firmly convinced that these people will be very disappointed if this site is ever purged of the trolls. They will no longer have a platform where they can prove their wit, their brilliance at countering the arguments of trolls. When, in truth, a 3rd grader could take down the regular trolls here.
Hoping that you all will finally all see the light.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:05 pmBTW, Saudi Arabia has been responsible for supporting about 60% of the insurgent activity in Iraq.
Why doesn’t Cheney want to attack them too?
August 9th, 2007 at 10:08 pmbut remember Napoleon took the entire nation of France down with him.
Comment by Jay Randal
When asked later how he felt about the one million French lives lost, Napoleon said “What are a million lives compared to mine?”.
W probably feels the same way.
p.s.: trolls probably wondering how those surrender monkeys conquered all of Europe.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:08 pmRemember that President Nixon bombed Cambodia, because he claimed they were giving sanctuary and help to the Viet Cong soldiers. Any country that borders another one can be accused of causing trouble, but there is no hard evidence that Iran is meddling in Iraq on a daily basis.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:10 pmI crave attention.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:11 pmJay,
There is evidence we are meddling in Iraq.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:12 pmI’m also a closet homosexual – that’s how I know I’m a Republican.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:12 pmJay,

Comment by Keith — August 9, 2007
We should bomb ourselves then. That would actually solve a LOT of problems.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:13 pmMarcus,
Another symptom is Peter Oflard
August 9th, 2007 at 10:13 pmI’d like to someday get ahold of a really flabby Dick (Cheney, of course).
August 9th, 2007 at 10:14 pmKeith > yep and many forget that Napoleon came to power after the French Revolution. He ended up being worse than the monarchy that was overthrown before him. Napoleon believed that his life outweighed all others and in that regard Bush is like him.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:15 pmWe should bomb ourselves then.
Comment by JPV
We have stockpiles of WMD, have used them against our own people, have invaded other countries, have supported terrorists, and our leader was never elected.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:15 pmMy mom won’t let me sleep with he anymore. She says it’s because I’ve reached puberty, but i think it’s because she’s a liberal.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:16 pmI can’t believe you’re “LOSING” posts again TP…
…You allow Michael the Savage to post bullcrap…
…then lose my post that merely pointed out…
…that by changing Savage’s words/phrases like “Iranian weapons” to “American weapons”
…and “killing americans in Iraq.” to “killing innocent Iraqi, Palestinians, Lebanese, Afghan and Sudanese civilians”…
…how easily the perspective might change…
August 9th, 2007 at 10:17 pmBush unlike Napoleon is afraid to lead his army into battle. Napoleon got shot in the leg once and one of his hands was injured in a battle. Bush is too afraid to be a leader who puts his own life on the line.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:18 pmSorry for the multiple posting but my posts keep disappearing and reappearing.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:19 pmBush’s biggest leadership failure has been to convice America (besides the neocon 25%) to give a shit about Iraq. The only sacrifice asked or expected is from our soldiers and their families.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:20 pmThe namejacker has been reported!
August 9th, 2007 at 10:20 pmLike I said on a previous thread, they don’t have an army to invade, so naval and aerial bombardment would be the only weaponry available, and to protect the troops in Iraq, tactical nukes are required.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:21 pmCheney is frothing at the mouth, only fifteen months left to effect Armageddon.
TP has a filter where if you use certain words—it will not post and you are “nullified”. For instance, if you say Peter Oflard called someone an Isl**oF**ci*t, you will be nullified because that word is banned.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:21 pmIslamofascist?

It’s just a technical issue – something about distributed servers. It’s been happening all day – everyone’s got disappearing posts. Give it a few minutes and it may pop up.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:25 pm#65 Comment by JPV —
Another theory down the drain. I don’t understand why I was nullified so many times. TP said it was their filter.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:25 pmI think TP has an occasional room monitor who deletes a couple of posts, and then goes to another thread, and then vanishes. I tried to post a couple of threads attacking Senator Feinstein yesterday and the posts were deleted immediately.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:26 pmTry writing Islamofascist yourself then, to see if it really does get filtered or not.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:28 pmI reported him, too!

Comment by Jay Randal — August 9, 2007
You’re not allowed to criticize Feinstein here???
That’s pretty screwed up. Maybe it’s time for me to dump TP, the same way I did with Crooks and Liars, because of censorship.

August 9th, 2007 at 10:31 pmHave you noticed that it is fine for Israel to have 500 nukes, some in subs directly off the coast of Iran so they could totally destroy Iran in minutes—but if the US can concoct a story about Iran having nukes in a few years, then Iran must be attacked?
August 9th, 2007 at 10:34 pmJPV > it seems TP at times has a bias. We are not allowed to criticise any J-wish members of Congress on here. That is why ‘AIPAC’ posts tend to get deleted. Just happens when a TP staff member is present for a few minutes.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:38 pmKeith > Israel is allowed to have several hundred nukes, but Iran having one or two is considered a threat > reeks of double-standards and hypocrisy.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:40 pmreeks of double-standards and hypocrisy.
Comment by Jay Randal
Those are very politically correct words you used…..I bow to your calmness.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:45 pmNow we’ll see who’s smarter President Cheney or the President of Iran. My bet goes with Iran. The Middle East has played the players. Bush/Cheney looked to make suckers out of the Middle East now we see Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey leaders making plans together without the US. Bush illegally invaded Iraq got thousands of young soldiers dead all for Iraq oil. Now Iraq will keep it’s own oil and leave the US out. General Petraeus gave the Iraqis thousands of weapons, vest, bullets and money to carry on. Yes and Bush has given Middle East countries weapons and bombs. Now watch how they use these weapons against the United States. Americans can thank the Bush Administration for all our problems as their corruption, lies, torture, stealing will cost us all.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:46 pm“TP has a filter where if you use certain words—it will not post and you are “nullifiedâ€. For instance, if you say Peter Oflard called someone an Isl**oF**ci*t, you will be nullified because that word is banned.”
JPV proved you are full of shite. Now A r I r P r A r C WILL get you deleted.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:48 pm“It’s just a technical issue – something about distributed servers. It’s been happening all day – everyone’s got disappearing posts. Give it a few minutes and it may pop up”
Do you work for TP, toaster? It isn’t just today.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:49 pmAIPAC sucks. Think I will be deleted? I do.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:50 pmIf we attack Iraq, the Shiite MAJORITY in Iraq will rise up and SLAUGHTER the 170,000 soldiers and 180,000 contractors in Iraq.
THAT is why we haven’t attacked Iran, because Cheney KNOW this.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:50 pmIf you kids want to get banned in short order, just question the official mythology of nine*eleven.
Worked for me…
August 9th, 2007 at 10:50 pmIf they let that one go they are totally pandering to the left.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:51 pmTMM, you might get it though. They are letting me say AIPAC, AIPAC, AIPAC. I am thinking they don’t want to lose 10% of their posters and piss off another 20%.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:52 pmAIPAC PNAC JEWS ISRAEL ZION
August 9th, 2007 at 10:53 pmheh…
August 9th, 2007 at 10:54 pmdlet > I used those words to escape the TP filtering device. Best to use politically correct words on here, when discussing Israel.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:54 pmLOL, Mr. P, you haven’t been deleted yet on those. I think it is a liberal win for you to say those words.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:55 pmJPark sez:
JPark, they will let that one stand because it is merely a baseless insult. Baseless insults are fine on TP.
However, it you were to post in some detail exactly why “AIPAC sucks”, and throw in some links to substantiate your position, that post would disappear faster than a snowflake on a July sidewalk.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:55 pmSomehow, I don’t think TP thinks it can afford to lose longtime posters?
August 9th, 2007 at 10:56 pmNo, TMM, I was deleted because AIPAC is one of their no-nos. Even though that “liberal journalist” likely had a nationalistic intent behind his neo-con creed.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:57 pmWell, I’ll be…
August 9th, 2007 at 10:58 pmIsrael nationalism, that is.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:58 pmOr Israeli, I should say.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:58 pmFricking amazing.
August 9th, 2007 at 10:59 pmTripMaster > If you mention ‘AIPAC’ and ‘Rep. Nancy Pelosi” together then it gets noticed by TP staff. This post may disappear.
August 9th, 2007 at 11:00 pmJPark, I’m pretty sure I’m agreeing with you…
August 9th, 2007 at 11:00 pmRemember – we’ve gotten in 2 wars when a jackass was shot and Congress proclaimed that American Blood has been spilt on American soil
August 9th, 2007 at 11:01 pmOk, I won’t gloat too much. I don’t talk about AIPAC too much because they are kind of pussies. 9-11 conspiracies are overdone and really not very realistic and even if they were true some people can’t seem to talk about anything but But that journalist is a wholly owned subsidiary of AIPAC.
August 9th, 2007 at 11:02 pmwoot, if we’re already stuck in a war, why not create another war, its like two wars in one then, money’s inflating eitherway, so why not inflate it all the way and get all of our soup in one big mess
August 9th, 2007 at 11:03 pmYou will still be nulled if you say my old name:
M r P * * * d e n t
August 9th, 2007 at 11:05 pmBoy, you’re null by any name.
August 9th, 2007 at 11:07 pmOk, I am going to gloat. TP, don’t screw with your base. When you have Zooey and True complaining…listen, or you will have nothing but Mr. P’s. And not for long because he will get bored. You will have Jake talking to everybody that is not on his Buscemi list (in other words, him). Not to be an arrogant jack-a$$, but you might want to listen to your actual fans, you dumb-a$$es.
August 9th, 2007 at 11:07 pmYou would be lucky to get Zooey back. What the f^ck were you thinking?
August 9th, 2007 at 11:11 pmIf you think the economic news looks bad today, wait until Dick gets his way. Who are all the trolls on this site? Paid, no doubt.
This man is a maniac and must be stopped. Will the Dem leadership come back into session if these nuts try something stupid?
August 9th, 2007 at 11:12 pmGEEZ, if Darth starts another war, maybe the Romney Boy Scout Troop will have to enlist. ORRRRRRRR…. we have a D R A F T.
HMMMMMM!
August 9th, 2007 at 11:13 pmDon’t try it again, TP.
August 9th, 2007 at 11:26 pmJPV proved you are full of shite.
Comment by JPark — August 9, 2007 @ 10:48 pm
I was relaying the explanation TP gave me as to why I was repeatedly blocked. They said it was due to their filter. The only word I had used was saying someone else said Islam*fas****.
I am really getting very seriously sick of your insults. One night you told me I was sick, lame, and twisted—because you could not comprehend my point. Stop being such a pr*ck!!!
August 10th, 2007 at 12:01 amUm, Keith, you are sick, lame and twisted. You actually believe the company line of “Islamo-fascism”. Which is just stupid. Read a book.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:07 amIslamo and fascism have no f^cking relationship but you righties don’t let THAT stop you.

August 10th, 2007 at 12:11 amJPark,
Try to know what is going on before name-calling. When I got blocked, I was saying how stupid Mr. P’s link was. It said a Hillary Clinton front group, America Votes was responsible for the Minnesota bridge collapse. It also said that socialized medicine always resulted in Islamo###cism. I was saying what a nut Mr. P’s group was.
You always have a problem comprehending my posts. Noone else does. Try reading my posts in this thread WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Try asking any other regular here if they think I am a rightie.
Try giving me an apology.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:15 amI know extremely well that Italy and Germany in WWII were Christian country’s.
If you could comprehend, you would know that I said “someone else said Islam@@@@cist”.

August 10th, 2007 at 12:19 amI was going to apologize because you deserve it. Then you said “You always have a problem comprehending my posts. Noone else does. Try reading my posts in this thread WITHOUT PREJUDICE” For some reason I no longer feel like apologizing.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:19 amOh, and you added “If you could comprehend…”…nah, doesn’t work for me.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:20 amtruth hurts
August 10th, 2007 at 12:21 amyou told me I was a rightie, full of shite, sick, lame, and twisted, FIRST.
THEN I responded in a normal way.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:22 amFine, Keith, so I did.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:24 amYou do have a failure to comprehend what I say.
That is what the whole argument is about.
What do you expect me to sat?
Pretty unreasonable.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:24 amsay not sat
August 10th, 2007 at 12:24 amThis is not the first time it has happened. It is the second.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:25 amK, maybe I do regularly fail to get what you are saying. I apologize.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:25 amDick doing his best Curtis LeMay impressions?
Where is this generations Kennedy brothers to make the smart decisions for these boobs?
August 10th, 2007 at 12:26 amThere is no maybe about it. Apology accepted.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:27 amI was just being stubborn, Keith. Sorry.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:27 amThen again, when you make a classless comment like “There is no maybe about it”. I don’t feel so much like apologizing anymore.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:31 amIt is like FU, sure every thing is good. No thanks.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:32 am” FNC House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has disclosed that she holds stock valued at up to $15,000 in Alcatel-Lucent (formerly Alcatel SA), a company with extensive investments in Iran and Sudan — nations that sponsor terrorism.
The disclosure of Pelosi’s holdings comes at the same time that legislation is making its way through the California legislature barring state pension fund managers from investing in companies, like Alcatel-Lucent, that do business with “terror-friendly” nations.

Sounds like Nancy made her some bad investments.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:45 amWhat’s that got to do with Cheney?
“[...]according to two U.S. officials who are involved in Iran policy.”
I am not sure there is such thing as an “Iran policy” in this administration. As a matter of fact, I am not sure they have a policy towards anything at all.
It would seem to me the Bush administration tries to solve their problems either with bombs, by burying their head in the sand, smearing critics and opponents, or a combination thereof.
Not much of a policy to speak of.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:48 amCheney advocating confrontation with Iran.
Good. Let him go. I’ll personally supply him with as many weapons as he feels he needs…..on my dime. No questions. I’ll just have to see if my frequent flyer miles can get him there on the cheap.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:48 am“Ok, I am going to gloat. TP, don’t screw with your base. When you have Zooey and True complaining…listen, or you will have nothing but Mr. P’s.

It’s obvious that you don’t understand TP. Without us Conservatives driving traffic here, they would have to fold! You liberals bring nothing but rhetoric and I’m sure TP is completely embarrassed by it! Reading most of your posts most intelligent people would come to the conclusion that they are dealing with a bunch of 6th graders (zooey, park, blue).

Everyone knows that being gay is a disease, you can’t be born gay.
However, there is a cure. It’s called “a good a$$-kicking.”
August 10th, 2007 at 2:30 amMegliomania runs in families.
August 10th, 2007 at 3:14 amCheney be a real vice president, that means stay out of the way and go kiss a baby. Do you have any respect for your so called “boss”?
August 10th, 2007 at 3:21 amBush needs to focus on the current war in Afghanistan and the civil war in Iraq before he can send our already over stretched military to attack Iran. Bush likes to start wars but he doesn’t know how to manage them competently and he doesn’t know what an exit strategy is. There is no justification for going into Iran.
August 10th, 2007 at 3:29 amThe United States has rarely lost any conventional military battle since at least 1950. Nor has it, at the same time, ever won a war. It has successfully overthrown governments through interventions or subversion but the political results of all its efforts – as in Afghanistan in the 1980s and Iran in 1953 – have often made its subsequent geopolitical position far, far more tenuous. In a word, in international affairs it bumbles very badly and it has made an already highly unstable world far more precarious than it otherwise would be if only the U.S. had left the world alone.,/B>
August 10th, 2007 at 5:50 amCheney is extremely dangerous.
All the more reason Nancy Pelosi needs to put impeachment back on the table where it always belonged and stop enabling these lunatic neocons.
August 10th, 2007 at 6:36 amThe only way to continue is through diplomatic efforts and pressure only in the form of sactions and verbal confrontations.
Sooner or later the population will realize that their president is deceiving them in proclaiming wealth and economic upsurge.
According to a recent survey 70% of the Iranian population favour normal relations with the United States
As the survey also suggests, it is vital not to disgruntle to population through demonizing the entire country, just because some autocrat is dominating.
The peaple of Iran will decide their future
August 10th, 2007 at 8:10 amMethinks Mr. Cheney should step up to the plate, fly his fat ass over to Teheran, then talk directly with government leaders there.
August 10th, 2007 at 8:23 amInstead he runs his fat mouth trying to incite others to do his bidding.
Yeah and 2 older supreme court justices will retire, W will get to appoint 2 more federalist members and Cheney will run as a federalist in 08. Oh I forgot the corporate tax break Dear Leader is contemplating. I don’t think we’ve seen their arrogance in full bloom quite yet.
August 10th, 2007 at 8:42 amWhen I hear Cheney’s plans getting nuttier and nuttier, I am reminded of how the Iraqis set fire to Kuwaiti oil wells as their occupation was driven out of Kuwait. If they couldn’t win, they would at least leave a huge mess for the victors to have to deal with.
I suspect the Cheney-Iran scenario is similar. Look for an invasion closer to the end of his term — especially if polls are still indicating a decisive victory for the Democrats. If the neocons can’t win, they will at least leave a huge mess for the next people to have to deal with.
August 10th, 2007 at 8:57 amWhat’s next a Disney Cruise liner will get attacked by a rouge pirate Venezuelan banana trader’s skiff?Boy that would do it. Think about it, Hugo Chavez called Bush the devil in front of the World’s premier political body. Are we ready to attack them and throw his dictator butt out too? Crushing a major region through force. Did Machmoud Ireallyneedajob ever make his comments regarding Israel’s future position on the planet while speaking at the UN? What are we going to have to give Egypt not to produce a bomb after we bomb Iran? W is 4 Wrecker.

And why should Darth change his modus operandi now? Having others do his dirty work has been successful his entire rotten, miserable chickenhawk life!
August 10th, 2007 at 9:29 amHow the times have changed. It seems like only yesterday, Dick Cheney’s company was breaking US law and trading with Iran and Dead Eye Dick was roving the world’s five-star hotels calling on Bill Clinton to open the embargo on Iran and allow him to make more money:

August 10th, 2007 at 12:35 pmKeith; I migrated to the left, far-left in 1964. Goldwater did it!
August 10th, 2007 at 12:40 pmUncle Ho,
I was angrily responding to JPark calling me a blankety blank rightie.
In ‘64 I was fourteen and didn’t really know of the Left, even though I had read a lot of history.
Goldwater was to the left of today’s right—critical of Reagan, Falwell, Buchanan, and the anti-gay measures.
August 10th, 2007 at 2:23 pmThis is the 2nd article about an Iran invasion. The “Mission Accomplished in Iran”-speech must be getting finalized.
August 10th, 2007 at 5:31 pmIf you need money for questionable DoD contractors, the Summer Budget review is a good time to talk about invading Iran. It’s only a few more shopping days until the 2008 primaries start. The FY is about to start.
