Has Anyone Been Listening to Randi Rhodes the Last Few Days?

She is laying out the "November Surprise", the pre-planning of the invasion of Lebanon by Bush cabal and Israel in June!, the impending invasions of Syria and Iran, and all of this is tied to the mess in Iraq. People, this is really scarey stuff. She tells you exactly why, where and from whom she gets her information. She's usually right on.

:wow:

1. Nothing would surprise me
with this bunch of sad sacks in the driver's seat.

3. That will backfire incredibly.
The voters will vote all of them out of office.
There will be a landslide.

5. Yes and if you have read the PNAC website you
already would have known this. I'm glad Randi is risking putting it out there and she has a large listening audience including those who make a point of streaming her program if they can't get her radio program in their area.

This has been out there since the early days of DU. The information seemed probably a bit far out then, but the play book was there and still is there.

I hope she keeps it up. Everything that needs to be known about these trolls from Hell should be spread wide and far.

13. It Needs to be out there again, and again and from now on

most people don't read the PNAC website, so I'm glad Randi is putting it together on air.

26. The coming 0ne-Two punch
Read PNAC 101 - Rise of the Neocons and you'll see why it's not such a stretch to believe that Bush* is said to be seeking a “Persian Gulf Incident".

6. That's too way out for me.
We don't have the military resources to attack Iran or Syria, nor would the public support it, given the current mess in Iraq.

It's hard to see how that would help the Repubs in November.

8. Hellooo!
Everything they have done up until now has been crazy and has had no public support. They have figured out a way around the usual way of doing business. They will keep pushing and get their way if we don't wake people up to stop them!

11. Cheyney is already out there claiming that that's why to vote for Repukes

but I agree that it's not going to work. People won't buy it, keeping republicans in office because there is war in the Middle East. Not this time you NeoCon freaks. You're history this time.

Time will tell, but I remain sceptical about predicting what will happen with these thugs in power.

21. For your edification: Philip Giraldi on Cheney's plan to nuke Iran.
There are no ground troops to spare- The neocons have always known that
sending troops into Iran would be suicidal. Iran, unlike Iraq, has a
formidable military- the neocon solution? Nuke 'em.

"In Washington it is hardly a secret that the same people in and around the administration who brought you Iraq are preparing to do the same for Iran. The Pentagon, acting under instructions from Vice President Dick Cheney’s office, has tasked the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) with drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States. The plan includes a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons. Within Iran there are more than 450 major strategic targets, including numerous suspected nuclear-weapons-program development sites. Many of the targets are hardened or are deep underground and could not be taken out by conventional weapons, hence the nuclear option. As in the case of Iraq, the response is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States. Several senior Air Force officers involved in the planning are reportedly appalled at the implications of what they are doing—that Iran is being set up for an unprovoked nuclear attack—but no one is prepared to damage his career by posing any objections."

30. Bush and Cheney & company literally do not know this.
As they do not tolerate or listen to dissent, they've surrounded themselves with sycophants who tell them nothing but gushing tales of our military & political successes in Iraq. They have no idea what the real situation is like. That's the problem with being supreme dictator and accepting no dissent - you lose touch with reality, and as a result, you make incredibly stupid decisions.

Don't be surprised by anything you see from them.

7. Yep
She said she would post the document all this information is in; the one she read on the air yesterday with the 4 "steps". But, I can't seem to find it.

29. Wayne Madsen
Wayne Madsen doesn't have a good reputation for credibility. I was surprised when she mentioned him as a source.

16. She has been pretty vocal as of late.
I, too, share in her Sharon theory. Nice to hear that I'm not the only one...

her predictions don't always pan out. Let's hope this one doesn't.

19. I listened last night, and I was shocked, but not surprised
as I had read analysis of this sort on DU before..

What was freaky was the 1996 document she was reading..
outlining everything that has pretty much happened since
2000. oh my gawd.

20. Anyone?
I have to listen to Randi as I jump in and out of my delivery truck - so I was all a-twitter about what that 1996 document was, too. But Randi went all tangential on me with one of her idea pile-ons (which I enjoy thoroughly at other times) and she didn't repeat what it was exactly.:shrug:

23. Yes, it's the PNAC boys' wet dream.
I've been screaming for an immediate ceasefire which didn't seem to interest people, but I fear it's too late, the horse has already left the barn.

Israel planned to attack Gaza and Lebanon, and the PNAC boys are hoping Arab kills Arab, and that Syria and Iran are drawn into the fray.

Effin disgusting.

24. Yeah, an offshoot of PNAC ...
called Clean Break, drummed up by neocons and American Likudniks in 1996.

Apparently former Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is the point man for implementing it.

The current assault on Lebanon has nothing to do with two captured Israeli soldiers and everything to do with the plan.

25. expansion of US military activities will require a draft . . .
because the manpower requirements to take on Syria and/or Iran would be tremendous . . . and that's when all hell will break out in this country . . .

people are generally NOT willing to give up their civilian pursuits to be put in harm's way in foreign wars of choice -- and they WILL let the government know that . . . loudly . ..

28. Read what led to both PNAC and Clean Break:
Understand Straussian philosophy, and everything they're doing is predictable. See this article:
