2. The Dub is not going to "invade" Iran
He is just going to bomb their "nook-u-lar" facilities and their "terr-ist" sites. Clean and neat. War Pres-nit. Votes.

3. I think they have lost their window
The distractions of campaigning to the point where this would not have been controversial but a mandate creating addition have lost Bush the time to get this going. Too much opposition everywhere and a very clever endorsement by Iran itself!

Maybe everyone else has been asleep as this lumbering behemoth was sneaking up on the next target, but the beast has slogged down in Iraq, in the UN, in the campaign at home. There is no imminence created, no terrorist act(fingers crossed) that could justify gearing up before the election.

I will bet, whatever stubborn spite they have left after losing, this whole Iraq election scam will be let go. They will continue to mess things up for the future president, but who could say they could do anything better anyway? Hopefully they will stop slaughtering innocent people in ludicrous, dangerous campaigns.

To Bushco: Shred paper not people.

4. As I said in another post about Iran,
What if they would do it precisely BECAUSE they know they are going to lose?

Think about it. They're dead. Freepers have deluded themselves, but the majority of us know Bush is out of there. But what if he made it impossible for Kerry to clean up his mess?

Would the American public in four years remember Bush's bungling, or would our 'microwave' society simply fault Kerry for not fixing an unfixable situation?

Would they vote out Kerry in '08, replacing him with another neo-con?

Not even a full fledged MENSA member could clean up Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan unilaterally. So what if the Neo-cons are planning that far ahead?

Remember, we can't afford to leave them in office another four years, with civil, reproductive, and gay rights, world peace, AIDS, and the global economy in our hands (not to mention our decaying environment, which is guaranteed death under another four years of Bush). We can't give him an extra month. But they can roll back our liberal policies anytime, in four, eight, or even twelve years. They can afford to wait.

5. Four questions: Would he find WMDs? Would we be greeted
as liberators? Would we find a link to bin Laden? Do French and German companies have oil contracts that could be swerved to Haliburton?

On second thought, forget the first three questions.
