Our leadership pose a serious and imminent threat to the continued existence of the United States which should justify any action by the people to remove them from power. This is about the survival of the country.

In one sense, Iran is doing nothing more than the US did to Russia in Afghanistan. They are helping the insurgents to bleed the US dry. Iran seeks to force the US to concede more power to Iran in Iraq. Our leaders, having learned absolutely nothing in the past five years, believe that hitting Iranian targets will cause Iran to fold politically. Why? The usual arrogant belief that they know better than all the experts, that the US can somehow pull off what no other country has been able to do in the middle east and the certainty that nothing can trump US military power.

How stupid can you get. Iran is taking the liberties that it has taken because it sees how our misadventure in Iraq has bled us dry. Iran believes that the US can do no more than attack targets by air. My guess would be that little overall damage would be done. (Remember missile attacks against AQ.) However, Iran could cause significantly more problems in Iraq.

If these people were serious and if this really were the biggest threat to the United States since WWII, then you would have seen a military draft, higher taxes and a general mobilization of military might to fight the war. This did not happen because the idiots and fools or the Bush administration can not even understand that which has transpired in Iraq. Iran should have been consulted before the invasion and invited to participate in discussions after the invasion. The no negotiation with enemies position (funny since Iranians marched in the streets in support of the US after 9/11 and were natural enemies of Saddam until Bush declared them part of the axis of evil) leaves Iran’s only means of gaining a seat at the table to support Shiite militias and help create an untenable condition to force US negotiation.

Consumption. No more cell phones, TVs, Lap Tops, video games, movies, The Gap trousers, Coke, Junk food, cars, guns, internet connections, fancy clothes, warm water, electricity…

Imagine that 300 million people, for just one day, stop purchasing, let’s say at Wal-Mart. Let’s say that for just one day, you don’t use the car, turn on the TV or any other electrical device at home, or buy that juicy burguer with the six pack attached to it. Imagine 300 million people extend this non-consumption one more day…and maybe one more day. Could you imagine the fear in Wal-Mart CEO’s?

My bet is the US Army is the next day strolling the streets forcing you to shop. You think it’s impossible? Try Chile and Nicaragua purchasing their own and soviet products, what happened to them?

It can be done. It just takes organized people.

can anyone on any of these commitees grow a pair and stand up and ask some reality based question of this gi-joe doll/puppet hiding behind a wall of medals for cooking and masquerading as a man of integrity who DOESNT just read what Dick Cheney puts in front of him?

Nettles Says:
If what Petraeus and others without a political agenda are saying is true, then Iran has blood of Americans and innocent Iraqis on their hands and must be held accountable. Nobody wants more war, but let’s not be hoodwinked into believing that Iran (land of no homosexuals) is just an innocent bystander in all of this. They see an opening in Basra now that the Brits are gone and they want Basra, simple as that. Should we just cede it to them? It was US who started this war. We have to do what’s right.

uh, betrayus had aspirations of being president….no political agenda?? Try again. Oh, and what he says is not true…..why would you believe him now?

Yes, it was us who started the war, why didn’t we do the right thing then and not start the war. Why would starting another war be the right thing to do….

I don’t know why I bother….I guess just to keep creeps like you from saying whatever dumb thing comes to mind and no one says bullsh!t……I’m callin you on it.

Somehow.

It would be less bloody (for us) by using a stay at home boycott.

Boycott WHAT?

These “special groups” are “funded, trained, armed and directed by Iran’s Quds Force with help from Lebanese Hezbollah.

So now they are saying that Hexbollah has moved to Iraq??

He was appointed in 2000. Thanks, Sandra Day O’Conner!

And 2004 was flat out stolen in Ohio.
