Denounce War Plans Against Iran & Order Halt to Bunker Buster-Type Simulation June 2nd in Nevada

In a recent issue of the New Yorker magazine, investigative journalist Seymour Hersh reported teams of American combat troops are being sent into Iran under cover to collect information on military targets, such as underground storage bunkers. The decision to attack may already have been made.

Meanwhile, the Department of Energy is preparing for a 700-ton conventional bomb detonation ("Divine Strake") on June 2, 2006, on the Western Shoshone Native American reservation (which the tribe strongly opposes) in Nevada, as a preliminary for the use of actual nuclear weapons against Iran. If launched, a nuclear "bunker buster" would spew harmful radiation, potentially killing thousands of innocent people.

The Bush administration seems bent on destabilizing the globe. It behooves every member of Congress to take a strong stand against a pre-emptive strike on Iran. Bullying Iran, talking about "regime change", and simulating large-scale explosions in the Nevada desert will only undermine diplomatic efforts. Read Marcy Winograd's full statement on this.

1. No! I love big explosions because I have a small penis!

I'm kidding.

I have a huge penis, and I'll sign the petition.

Why don't we test the damn thing on that pig farm in Crawford?

3. I don't have a penis (though I've been accused)

And I'm signing and kicking.

Is there no end to the degree of his insanity that the American people will tolerate?

4. Western Shoshone winning converts

The Western Shoshone tribe, which claims millions of acres in land spanning portions of four states, has already sued to prevent “Divine Strake,” a massive non-nuclear blast that the tribe worries could kick up radioactive matter still remaining in the region following a series of nuclear tests conducted over a forty-year period.

5. Temple of Sekhmet

There's a Temple of Sekhmet around that area that would be severely damaged if the test goes through. I'm going out to Las Vegas in August, and taking a day to drive out there. I want to see it intact!
