Perhaps the Dems should deliver a pre-emptive strike
I wonder what would happen if the Dems ran on a platform saying they'd nuke Iran?

Would this effectively defuse Bush's movement down that line, or would it hasten it?

Could be a shrewd move.

1. What they should do is reveal the plan to invade in June.
It's come out that a date in early June has been set for Iran.

2. That would certainly
fuck with the minds of the bat shit insane. They would be calling for immediate withdrawal from Iraq and blanket isolationism. And every death in Iraq would be blamed on evil liberals. Hilarious. Do it Harry Reid. Call for the Nuking of Iran NOW!

3. I wouldn't vote for a Dem who said that.

When did it become acceptable to talk about nuking other countries for no apparent reason? :shrug:

4. It would be better
to say that political allies of Bush and Rove are planning a homemade terrorist
attack on American soil to justify an attack on Iran..

5. I think that the dems should do the opposite
and offer a resolution that allows nukes to be used only as a last resort. They should include the term "really" or "for real".

Commender Coo-coo bananas might get the message
