Well that is pretty hard to stomach! I think perhaps we should do "something" first, like charge GW, DC, and DR with war crimes and give them a little tour of "GITMO"...

When will these neocons go away for good. They just keep putting ideas into GW's mind. Unfortunately, I have believed this for several months. I also believe the response from the arab world, Russia and China will be swift and devastating. _________________ This is where everybody puts profound words written by another...or not so profound words written by themselves

Consider how close the race is between Obama and McCain. It shouldn't be even close, but almost half of the US population is still siding with the NeoCons.
Ignite any sort of emergency, particularly framed as us against them, and the majority of American's would quite willingly fall back into BushCo's arms.

| Possibly...., hopefully..., but more likely Israel bombs them because they realize obama's and the Dems hopeless leadership skills and Iran having free reign in the Persian Gulf. |

dude, i know you are made up of 99% provocation and 1% thought, but can you elaborate with any degree of seriousness on this idea that it would be good for us to bomb Iran before the end of the year?
i mean, outside of just wanting to freak out thuh libs with your qwazy wayz, what on earth are you talking about?
can you give any example of "hopeless" leadership skills? did you hear mccain's weak ass rant in the debate about how "just sitting across the table and talking to someone legitimizes them."
hell, i'm talking to you, and that in no way legitimizes your wingnut blather. |

Thank you for compliment concerning the 1% thought. I wasn't willing to give that level of accolades to the previous writers.
As to freaking out the libs, again thanks, its so easy, and it brings many such great joy.
As to bombing the Iranians, well thats quite an interesting debate. Though they have no bomb assemblies, they still are working on their delivery systems and refining like heck.

As to leadership skills for the Dems, see last two years of House and Senate control, see Pelosi's recent bailout debacle, etc.
And as to the obama, well Hillary said it best, all he's done is give one good speech.
Sorry, sitting down face to face does legit the other side, seems you missed obama's backpedalng on the issue during the debate. |

From Bush's perspective? Nope, not a single reason.

How do we know that President Obama won't bomb Iran if he goes to the gym to shoot some hoops and his jump shot is off?
From Obama's perspective? Nope, not a single reason.

Actually, its very relevant.
The next step in the evolution of the puzzle is openly acknowledged resource wars.

Naw, Agent R, I'm thinking many around here have just found a big audience for their fantasies.
Much to the detriment (or at least distraction) of those who actually are attempting to do something to improve their chances in a more resource scarce world.
But hey, fantasize away... _________________ Make a plan and work it: |

Neither Israeli state nor its citizens are brave enough to start a war where the odds are not like 99 to 1 in their favor. They've got the US & Nato for that. Lets face it, we are not talking stone throwing Palestinian kids here.
