Is anybody else afraid Cheneybush will decide to nuke Fallujah?

[lostnfound]

The gloomy outlook for Iraq; the total disregard of the BFEE for world opinion, human life, and international law; the testing of the 'mini-nukes' that went on during the buildup to the bombing last year..these things have me fearing that the madmen running this country might just do it.

1. A town with 300,000 is a bit much - even for Cheney.

If it was 20,000, the missiles would be in flight now.

2. Maybe not Fallujah

but I wouldn't be at all surprised if we let loose a small one somewhere in the mid east before this mess is finished.

3. Maybe not Fallujah

but I wouldn't be at all surprised if we let loose a small one somewhere in the mid east before this mess is finished. George has had a chance to play with all of his toys yet.

On edit: That was weird with that double post.

4. They are going to try out the Killer Microwave Weapon

supposedly to quell the domonstrations.

I think they are desperate to get the public demonstrations stopped.

7. The ones mounted on a Humvee? - I seen them once somewhere - -

[OC_dem]

5. No

Cheneybush are worried about oil, there isn't a Muslim country in the world that would sell them oil if they did that.

11. Agreed.

I have a genuine neocon friend (genuine as in, he actually knows about PNAC and AEI and all that and agrees with it, as opposed to being someone who parrots right-wing propaganda from AM radio and Fox News) who says that the reason we're doing this is to manufacture an ally in the middle east so we have leverage against Saudi Arabia to do something about terrorism - currently we depend a lot on them for oil.

6. I said not likely, would have said no, but that BushBunch is an unstable

lot, so who knows.

But to drop a nuke in Russia and China's back yard ?

BAD move I'd say - -

8. Yep

this ground war is no longer helping *. A small nuke would enable him to put on the harness again and reinvigorate his base (the Robertson crowd and the freepers). A lot of them were calling for nukes all along. Also, I think they get a warm feeling when he says "nucular".

13. I read somewhere

that after Bush took office he was astonished by how many nukes we had. Must be still giving him wet dreams.

9. If they could get away with it they would

they are evil enough believe me...but it would be political suicide...even though every bible carrying red neck bush supporter would anoint him Christ!

10. I dont think they would go so far as to drop a nuke,

(please, please ,let me be right about this), but I am concerned because, after all the big talk about reprisals because of what happened in Fallujah, they have not taken action yet. I expected it to be this weekend. This makes me very nervous. What ever they are planning, I fear its going to be ugly.
What part of, "The Iraqis want us out of there", does this insane administration not understand.

[frankly_fedup2]

12. Well, they are going to do something, and,

unfortunately, as always, innocents will die. However, they are going to have find those that did this. There is no justice too harsh for what they have done to those poor people. Also, there is no justice to harsh for this Administration who brought this hell on earth.

[tridim]

14. My worry

is that a nuke will go off and they'll deny it was ours. Kills two birds with one stone.

[freeforall]

15. It wouldn't surprise me in the least

Bushco does not give a damn for public opinion. No matter how many scandals and lies come out, he seems to walk away with a lot of public support. So, why should he change his tactics now?

I didn't like the sound of the revenge talk from the gov't during the week. They said that they would wait and plan, but they would get the Iraqis who did it. What they forgot to mention is that they'll take a whole lot of others out - just to be sure they get the right one.

Nothing, but nothing, surprises me about this government anymore.

16. If they dropped a nuke, even Blair would not take

calls from Dumbya. We would not have a friend in the world.

[ButterflyBlood]

17. no way

the US would be sanctioned by just about every nation in the world. Even Blair and Howard would tell * to fuck off. Plus too many disgusted people would turn out in droves to vote him out, mobilizing the base would be beyond canceled out. No reason to do so.
