Mexed Missages - Does Bush want war with Iran to cover his ginormous F-up of invading Iraq?
Via "Mugsy' Rap Sheet":

Mexed Missages - Does Bush want a war with Iran simply to cover his colossal blunder?

(video comment here)

If things are *improving* in Iraq, why the hyper-vigilant threatening talk about possibly using military force against Iran?

(...)







Is George Bush SO out of touch with reality that he's willing to expand his war in the Middle East, further extending a military already stretched to its breaking point, to attack a country four times the size Iraq with a well-rested million-man army, just because Iraq and Iran are becoming too chummy, which could lead to an anti-US alliance between the two nations, making Bush's colossal mistake to invade Iraq into an F-up so ginormous it can be seen from space?


Read the rest on "Mugsy' Rap Sheet".

1. If * simultaneously disabled Iran's oil production and the price of crude
increases indefinitely as a result, he wouldn't see that as a bad thing . . .

2. Exactly...
if you look at Bush's foreign policy through the eyes of his royal buddies and Big Oil then everything he does makes sense.

Don't make the mistake of trying to figure out what America gains by his actions (because it's usually nothing).

3. If Saudi Arabia stands by him...
...even if he attacks Iran, you know that a deal was struck behind closed doors for us to take out SA's biggest competitor.
