Bush* must have Alito before he can attack Iran
Bush* is proclaiming he has authority to attack Iran at will without ever saying one word to Congress. If Alito is appointed justice then Bush* will know he has the backing of the court. He will then become undeclared dictator with the full participation of the US Supreme Court so it will all be "legal". Alito is the key to the US Nuking Iran.....A lot is at stake. I only wish there were a God to intervene because a half million Persians are about to Perish from this Earth...

1. Agreed
And martial law here in the US. And say good-bye to term limits and perhaps even to elections for that matter.

2. Bush has to have a viable military before he can attack Iran.
The US military is stretched so thin that we would have trouble defending Des Moines Iowa.

3. He doesn't want to use troops just nukes.
He wants to use the ultimate form of intimidation. Do what we say or we will kill every person in your country by nuclear attack..

11. Even if he did, it was probably simple a contingency plan.
We have plans drawn up for nuking Great Britain after all.

7. Let's see if I got his strategy right.
* has to right to preemptive action. Uses a small bunker-buster nuke to take ouo Iran's nuclear facilities. Iran reacts by attacking US installations in both Iraq and Afghanistan. * nukes Tehran. Muslims across the world react by attacking every American installation they can find, putting US bases on the defensive across the middle-east and the southern, mostly Muslim former Soviet republics. Musharraf is overthrown, putting @ 30 nukes in the hands of radical Muslims, not counting those still available in the former soviet republics. China responds on the attacks against Iran by calling in all US debt.

Yup. Sounds like a Bush plan to me.

starting with the wildly bombastic President of Iran. Don't taunt these mad people running our country and provide them with more ammunition to annihilate some of you and conquer the survivors.

8. This comes to pass, well then...
...we will be left with NO CHOICE but one seriously bloody revolt.

And I say the first people we need to pay a little visit to with the torches and pitchforks are the DINOs like Zell and Joe the Ho!

Clinton started bombing Serbia before getting approval from Congress.

Bush invaded Panama before getting approval from Congress.

Reagan invaded Granada before getting approval from Congress.

Carter sent troops to Iran to try to free the hostages before getting approval from Congress.
