		<description>[...] 10-22-06 The privatized structural crisis that the U.S. Empire finds itself in and the threat to it&#8217;s global dominance is the driving force to the Orders genocidal crusades. Sam&#8217;s Imperial Grand Chess Board game of death is to restructure the world in it&#8217;s imperial image. For this to take place what is needed is permanent war. In this (Ruins of Empire) segment called &#8216;Staying the course on the road to capitalist Hell: The military build up for full spectrum Eurasian dominance&#8217; Slave Revolt shoots it&#8217;s way through these developing events.

Explore how the &#8216;nuclear option&#8217; is now in play with these imperial ghouls. Clips from retired Col. Air Force Commander Sam Gardiner help high-lite some of these unfolding events. War and genocide is all these capitalist demons have to offer the planet. This is the sick logical step of a dying empire. For the well being and health of the slaves and the planet this dying empire and all those who support it must must enter the dust bin of history. [...]</description>

		<description>[...] I can&#8217;t decide whether I&#8217;m being alarmist when I worry about an imminent U.S. attack on Iran, or whether I&#8217;m in denial when I tell myself, &#8220;Not yet.&#8221; Some would argue that the decision has already been made, and the rollout phase has begun. In an appearance three weeks ago on CNN, retired AirÂ Force Colonel SamÂ Gardiner told WolfÂ Blitzer that covert operations have been going on inside Iran for 18Â months.

		<description>I saw this interview. Wolf Blitzer was very uncomfortable with what Gardiner was saying especially when the implications that President Bush&#039;s assertions about diplomacy being paramount were being contradicted by Col. Gardiner. 

After the interview ended, Blitzer turned to celebrity Newshead, Jaimie McIntyre, and asked whether he had any evidence to back up the claims of Gardiner. McIntyre, who claimed to be a friend of Col. Gardiner, looked befuddled but stated unequivocally that &quot;there is absolutely no evidence to back up the claims of Col. Gardiner.&quot; This seemed to have a calming effect on Wolf Blitzer who then turned to other matters. 

McIntyre did not say what investigation he had done to have proven the non-existence of any evidence. No mention of Pentagon interviews, refutations by experts, etc. The impression I got was that McIntyre was there solely for plausible denial or cover.  He never mentioned the reporting done on this by Sy Hersh and others. 

Great journalism it wasn&#039;t.</description>

		<description>What is wrong with you liberal morons???
Do you want your families exterminated and their heads cut off ??
Islam is set to take over the world by 2030 and are hopeful that the date can be revised upwards.
IF everyone does not convert to Islam;They will be exterminated.We can then wear Islamic clothing,beat or kill our wives and children,join in the extermination of Israel and pray to a psudo madman like Mohamed.
Bush is saving our lives.You people need to grow up and face reality.
You cannot negotiate with Islamic terrorism.
Use your God given brains and get a life for you and your families,and I really mean A LIFE.</description>

		<description>Cycles come and go. There is always a pattern to man&#039;s activities on earth. Humans are creatures of habit and a great many of man&#039;s habits are negative and selfish. They always have been and they always will and will not cease until humans cease. Democracy and Communism, Catholics and Protestants, Shia and Sunni,  European against European, European against African, African against African, Disadvantaged angainst the Upper Class, etc, etc, etc. The profound element in all of this is the nuclear option which man has taken, selfish individuals that they are. They are not just content to destroy one another but risk destroying other creatures and organisms on the earth as well. Total destruction has happened before, many many times. Civilisations come and go. The present is no different than the past. From the end comes new beginnings. Hopefully without the spectre of HUMAN supremacy next time.</description>

		<description>So wait, none of you has bothered to find a way to be energy indipendent? I did, Solar electric, heat and hot water, ground water cooling for the AC and well water. Also have myself a nice little garden (Anyone from WWII era will tell you need only about 9sq ft to grow enough food for most of the year) (I have about a half acre plus fruit trees, I hunt and have chickens and goats). I telecommute most days and drive a deasel motercycle most of the rest of the time (150mpg). (Although I do own a big pickup truck and a nice car I only use them when I need the space or the weather is bad)

All of this stuff worries you, libs and reps. because you failed to see the writing on the wall in the 70s and just continued to by more and more expensive houses and need more and more power, larger and larger cars and SUVs that need more and more gas. We wouldn&#039;t have this problem today if only 50% of the country had woke up then and do something about it. 

We don&#039;t give a crap what happens in Africa because they have nothing we need, same would be true for the middle east if all of you, blue and red, started thinking about how to save gas and power. How to become energy indipendant. 

The libs really want to complain about the enviroment and us going after oil in the middle east but block things like nuke power and oil drilling. instead of finding clean ways to stop needing it so much. The Reps want to keep the businesses going to work toward getting more oil instead of finding something else to do.

You all suck and it&#039;s all of Americas fault. I did my part, when are the rest of you going to do theirs?</description>

		<description>Age of enlistment is 42, &quot;Common Sense&quot;. Take YOURSELF to Iran. 

I&#039;m also sick of neocons stating that Jimmy Carter did nothing with regards to military action and trying to recover the hostages. It dishonors the eight soldiers that lost their lives in a sandstorm, when Carter ordered a special ops rescue mission to retrieve the hostages in Tehran. 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/april/25/newsid_2503000/2503899.stm

And at least he had the guts to take full responsibility.

But, you&#039;d rather give him a blanket &quot;appeaser&quot; title and stomp of the graves of those men. Way to be an American, CS- alway Party before Country, right?</description>

I have a better idea, common sense. How about YOU leave the US and take that war mongering terrorist creating el pretzeldente with you. Go to some third world nation where the people are used to dictatorship. Easy pickins for evil leaders who prefer world dominance over common sense diplomacy.</description>

		<description>All you whiners can thank your spineless UN for most of the current situations around the world. They all want to pat themselves on the back when they come up with some worthless compromise to appease some country or radical group that has sworn death to western civilization, but never have the backbone to actually follow up on any of the sanctions or threats of renewed military action. It is a corrupt US-hating organization that continues to empower those that would do us harm. And, if you want someone to thank for how Iran is dealing with us today... go thank Mr. Undermine the US &amp; Prove to everyone I am still a pansy who will run from any fight - Former President Jimmy Carter, who was the first US President that proved to Iran and other Muslim nations that if you have enough ultra libs and self-loathing democrats in the US, and UN to back you up, that you can take hostages, openly support terrorist organizations, process materials for weapons of mass destruction, announce on the world stage that you wish to wipe israel off the map, and deal with other countries/groups that have pubically announced their intentions to do anyone and everyone in the US harm. Remember my little peacenik, self &amp; US loathing citizens .... Terrorist bombs and attacks don&#039;t differentiate between bleeding-heart liberals and ultra-conservative bible-thumpers. They want to kill us all. It does not matter if GW or Slick Willie is in office. Whether there is a Democrat or Republican controlled House or Senate. Wake up smell the coffee and get some pride back into being an American. In any of these countries you would pander to have appeased, you would be jailed/possibly kiled for the comments you left above. And if you are one of those that swore to leave the US if GW got elected, and haven&#039;t left yet... your late. Take yourself off to Iran, and don&#039;t forget to take Alec Baldwin with you.</description>

		<description>The reason why Republicans will keep both the House and Senate is because there will be no election!  After Bush bombs Iran (the October Surprise), the global Shia community will declare war on the US.  Gas prices will soar to $200/barrel, American soldiers in Iraq will be slaughtered by the hundreds if not thousands, and moderate friendly Muslim nations like Jordan, Egypt and Saudia Arabia will see their gov&#039;ts overthrown.  Citing &quot;grave national security&quot; concerns, Bush will cancel the election.

Wanna bet?</description>

		<description>And will the October surprise come in the form of a mushroom cloud, over Tehran?

Remember, Bush has not ruled out the use of nuclear weapons. And under the War Powers Act, Bush has pretty much free reign for 90 days to use the military however he sees fit before having to report to Congress.</description>

		<description>If indeed we are already executing a phase one of yet another war, then the President is yet again violating the US Constitution.

As written above, &quot;we pose a future threat.&quot; and as a threat, those countries that can will resist our efforts. It is not clear what they will not do to prevent us from penetrating further into formerly Muslim territories.

If Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq join forces with Iran and Syria, we will be in deep, dark waters.

		<description>If this is correct, just how is this different from any other preventive war? Ask the Zulus. They were invaded by the British in 1879 because they might, someday in the future, pose a threat. If correct, this plan is totally immoral. The radical Moslems have the same right to take down the USA, because, in their eyes, we pose a future threat. Bush is immoral and evil, and he and Cheney need to be removed from office and prosecuted as the war criminals they are.</description>
