did anyone see the bush speech about Iran on KO and think to themselves...

[Windy]

Here we go again!!!

It is clear that he has every intention of going into Iran with guns a blazin'. (or bombs a flyin' I should say)

I hope the american people continue their gradual awakening from their poison apple induced slumber!

That speech should scare the sh** out of everyone.

[AlCzervik]

1. it just looks like Bush is trying to divert attention from Iraq--

look over here not there!

[soothsayer]

2. yep!

[lonestarnot]

3. 15 Months, plenty of time for mo wo. IMFUCKINGPEACH!

[peacebird]

4. agreed - scared the crap out of me

[GOPisEvil]

5. I thought we were transported to 2002.

Ctrl-F "Iraq" - Replace with "Iran".

[Gregorian]

6. I didn't make it past "nukular".

And I'm sorry to say that because if I'm correct Joe Wilson also pronounces it that way. But at least he's a respectable man.

[countingbluecars]

7. What can we do?

Impeachment is off the table. Wait for the election? Too late.

[EFerrari]

8. Yes and yes.

:grr:

[msongs]

9. any response from congressional democrats yet? nt

[liberalmuse]

10. Look for Iran to commit an act of terrorism against the U.S...

...or its interests. Coming soon, probably sometime in September. Sponsored by PNAC. </tinfoil hat planted firmly on head>

[Windy]

11. and don't forget Sarkozy's speech re: Iran

It should raise the alarm bells even higher!

12. I got the impression that he was trying to pave the way for anything imminent

he might come up with to poke at Iran with our military. But, I didn't sense any push for imminent direct military action in Iranian territory. There's going to be an effort to round up Iranians in Iraq though.

Also, the IAEA just gave Iran more rope on their nuclear program. Kinda of an awkward moment to launch any broad offensive. Wouldn't put ANYTHING past Bush, though.


my take:

Radical U.S. Extremists in Iraq Threaten Iran

14. An attack on Iran would be insane. That is why I am worried.

Busholini is insane. He & Cheney don't give a damn about America. They want America to be a three class nation: The Working Poor, The Poor, & The Rich.

Here is part of their Agenda

Abolish

Social Security
Medicare
Employer supplied health insurance
Unemployment Benefits
Welfare
Abortion Rights
Collective Bargaining
EPA
Public Education
Public Housing
IRS

16. Underlined, exclamation point ! Saudi's pumping of gas like crazy can drop

oil prices and spark further gasoline rioting in Iran. The mullahs there would need to rethink the longterm goal vs. their shorterm survival as a regime...see gasoline prices in the US charted

13. when the september iraq report comes in it'll blame iran i bet

and bush will press for a blank check from congress...

[cui bono]

15. On eof the scarier things was Richard Wolfe saying that W is only now realizing

what a mess the Middle East is, and that the Shia's are going to take control of Iraq. ONLY JUST REALIZING IT! Now I know he's not that informed, but wouldn't you think someone would've told him? Sometimes I wonder if the Secret Service isn't there to protect him, but rather to force him into saying and doing the things Cheney wants him to.

[EVDebs]

17. However, Kurds control half of the northern Iraqi oil fields...

But will Iraqis man the 'Permanent Bases' ?

http://www.fcnl.org/iraq/bases.htm

Kurdish controlled areas, Iraq

[cui bono]

18. I don't think that will last if we attack Iran, or probably even if we don't.

With Iran and Turkey waiting in the wings...

[EVDebs]

22. IF we attack then WWIII is on. IF we don't then there's a chance for some peace

and rational thinking ... Will the cooler heads prevail ?

[LSK]

20. did you see that Turkey just elected the 1st Islamic President in a long time?

[LSK]

19. I caught the part where someone said nobody buys his BS anymore

[shadowknows69]

21. Most 'muricans think that Iran will be as non-invasive of thier lives

as Iraq is except that when we attack Iran Bush's words about fighting them over here will become a self fulfilled prophecy. I predict the day the bombs fly there will be attacks all over this country. Prophet of doom? Hell yes I am.

[EVDebs]

23. The scariest part of this is that both Israel and Saudi Arabia have a stake in this new attack

Since the US would be 'carrying their water'. It's to their short term military advantage to instigate this fiasco, where the US would continue to be the world's fall guy. Not to mention Putin just put his military on patrols (for an attack on the US) assuming Iran is attacked.

I feel sorriest for our military. Armageddon, here we come.

24. Our military is used to being shot at

I'm worried about us. Sleeper cells are just that. Bad people that lie in wait. No I don't subscribe to Bush's fear mongering but they are here. The fuse will be lit.
