It’s different having to negociate with other world leaders that may disagree with “US policies for the world.”

Diplomacy? HAHA, this requires getting the ass off that chair and landing in Teeran to talk to the “evil guy”.

But, who has the courage to do this? It’s easier to use the KGB_sh to spy on Americans illegally and to lie again about WMD – this time involving Iran.

I bet bombing Iran is already a done deal, just waiting for the real Commander-in-Cheney… to push the button!

Does Halliburton have a “reconstruction contract” yet???
What about Chevron???
And Lockeed-Martin?

Security won’t be a problem, believe me. BLACKWATER will be in charge….

Black is white, evil is good and war is peace. This is a dog bites man story. When hasn’t the Bush administration tried making the silk purse out of a sows ear. Well, it doesn’t work this time either. An act of war does not “prevent” war as it is war.

Since now Bush doesn’t even try to do something that would make him look good, are his handlers now throwing him under the train since they no longer need him?

Bush’s legacy was always the province of his own fantasy. His handlers are concerned about greed and power, not his real remembrance in history. He is totally expendable, however, he still has value to them. (i.e. continuing the pursuit of the ME resourses-corporate control of oil-and gaining a footprint (military bases from which security of that oil is assured) there. Continuing the “forever war” strategy in Iran. Expanding the power of the presidency over the other branches. Securing more control over the SCOTUS. The list is endless it seems.

Bush is valuable because he is so easily manipulated. (Through his megalomania and his religious fervor.) He sold his soul to the devil years ago, and will say and do anything his handlers want him to. Through him, they can push the envelope in every area, with very little price to pay themselves. They own him, and his legacy means nothing.

On the side of rushing to war, we have the worst President in history, his fascist side-kicks and a legion of slavish, moronic psyco-cultists well-represented on these boards today.

Amen! Col. Jack! On the money and well said!

I can’s seem to wrap the metaphysical side of my mind around the fact that it was somehow karmically necessary to install a man who was totally unqualified into this position via rigged elections and then have it occur again four years later so he can “finish the job”. What lesson does this country have yet to learn in this sick twist of fate?

Lessons to learn? How about the arrogance of believing that we are better than all the rest of the people in the world. Or our delusional belief that we have the “right” to invade other countries, assasinate their leaders and steal their resources. The list of this country’s arrogant schoolyard bullying is endemic. Kennedy’s “Bay of Pigs,” Raygun’s Iran Contra Affair and our constant meddling in countries south of our border are a few. It goes on and on back through history.

We the people elect our leaders, and then approve of their deception, lying, and arrogance. Later still we justify these actions, rewriting history to make us look blameless. (Who us??? It was the other guy that is wrong here. We were justified to attack, or what ever… We are seeing this happening again with the talk of invading Iran. Create a “straw man” and then knock it down.)

I no longer believe in Karma, but it is the most plausable and easily understandable scenario for the answer to your question. We have obvious lessons to learn. We are not learning them, and need to be shown in a powerful manner what we are doing wrong. The fantasy of Pax Americana and its downfall is that lesson.

~General William Westmoreland

“War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious.”

~General Smedley Butler

“For me war has become a flat, black depression without highlights, a revulsion of the mind and an exhaustion of the spirit.”

~Ernie Pyle

“Military glory–that attractive rainbow, that rises in showers of blood–that serpent’s eye, that charms to destroy…”

~Abraham Lincoln

“The belief in the possibility of a short decisive war appears to be one of the most ancient and dangerous of human illusions.”

~Robert Lynd

“Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.”

~James Madison

There also used to be a law limiting the amount of media one owner could have, Trent Lott helped to re-write that Bill late one night. R. Murdock then publish Lott’s book. Another coincidence.

It is more than sad that we have no independent journalism anymore.

swift and decisive when talking about iran mixes like oil and water. iran will be waiting for us at the border unlike iraq. the entire country will revolt unlike afghan. such smart scholars we have here. iran are a million strong unlike us. so you must support a draft…….that is the only way another invasion and occupation will survive. so we all expect you to be first in line to get your bdu’s and delivering your toughness unlike behind the comfort of your house talking big.

I agree with the Lady from Texas. That would be the last straw, even for the “distracted” American electorate. I wouldn’t put it past bush to try though. He is delusional.
