Strike Iran? If only the US were not "completely [fucking] nuts"

[swimboy]

Jack Straw said all are opposed to pre-emptive strike against Iran because no reason existed to do it. Aha! Well, let's review the reasons for our pre-emptive strike on Iraq. It turns out none of those reasons existed either--and any sentient being paying attention knew it at the time. Garrison Keillor said way back when, "The president does well to review for us the reasons for the war in Iraq, because they are changing all the time.

This is all tracking too closely to how we approached our "diplomatic solution" to the "problems" with Iraq. And all the zombies over here with their direct feed from Fox news and their selective memory which enables them to refute the evidence of their own eyes and ears . . .

There may be slight evidence that some people are waking up and looking around and that there is a small trickle of actual, factual news getting through the dyke, rather than this "faith-based" catastrophic fiction. I'm a person of faith, but the way this president debases the Christian faith by claiming it motivates and buttresses his actions is perversion. His is a faith that also allows him to set aside hard facts and data that conflict with what he believes. If he believes something is a certain way, he acts on it despite all evidence to the contrary. And his hard core supporters, no matter how disastrous the results, clap each other on the back and say, "Well, he stayed true to his beliefs, didn't he? That's our man.

I hang my head.

1. why won't the dems make hay over this

Is it because w. is already as bruised too much? Is this as weak a w. can be? Is there nothing else that the dems can do until the 2006 election?

2. The same Jack Straw that was in total agreement with Colin

Powell, RE: Iraq, despite facts to the contrary? What, did he find a conscience suddenly?

3. Time for new anti-war demonstrations?

I'm ready now. I want the world to know that Americans do not support *Co.

4. Oh yeah.

We must take to the streets on this one. This is it. If ever there was a time for us to find our "spirit of resistance" it is now.

6. Citizens of the world protested our pending Iraq invasion

and the president said he didn't care what they thought. This time, I'd love to see citizens of the US unite against a pending Iran invasion. Not that the president would care, but the world would know we're dealing with a rogue administration.

Remember how Bushit ordered the UN inspectors out of Iraq and then said we had to invade because Saddam was not allowing the UN inspectors to continue their work? I remember. Try to find a zombie Fox News disciple that can recall that. I don't think it made it in or was eradicated on command.

5. I believe he was a puppet illegally installed

to the presidency. The ones pulling the strings would be the ones calling the shots. He did as he was told for a while. He may be slipping those strings now and really believes he is president. His dictator-like actions have grown into messianic proportions. He now aspires to become Pope!
