Poll question: OK DUers: Prediction time. Will we attack Iran by the end of October?
I have been giving this a good bit of thought lately. How many other false alarms have we sat through and gone through this same exercise, only to find out it didn't happen?

We KNOW the Bushies lie like Soviets, we KNOW they especially enjoy lying to the Imperial Subjects of Amerika, who are owned by them and who lauaghably believe they are still free.

We also know the Bushies consider Misinformation to be a key component of deceiving the enemy, which again I feel compelled to reiterate that their fellow Tyrannical Rulers in Iran are less their enemy than any Imperial Subject of Amerika who might wish to restore the Old American Republic and the Constitution from BushPutinism.

Given all of that, the "Attack Iran Psyop" gives them a TRIPLE boost!

1) They scare the crap out of the Iranians with fears of being nuked.

2) They throw the Loyal American Patriots in to confusion and disarray, as it distracts us, allowing for the further Bushification and defeat of America at the hands of the Bushies who loathe it so.

3) It allows for another strong dose of FEAR to be dropped upon the unaware and apathetic segment of the Imperial Subjects of Amerika (even now, by orders of magnitude the largest sub-population within the Imperial Subjects), which further prevents them from thinking clearly, which might lead them to join us DUers in the Loyal American Patriot camp to oppose the freedom-hating tyrannical and authoritarian Bushies.


So, a simple question. Yes or no: Will we attack Iran, either conventionally or with nukes, by the end of October?

This question is independent of whether you thinkthe Bushies are going to stage a False Flag 9/11 #2 to elicit their phony Hitlerian "excuse" to nuke. I am merely asking whether or not a person thinks that the Iran attack is going to happen, not HOW the Bushies intend to give themselves the excuse to do it, or whether they will even do so.

1. Not going to happen
and I ain't no head-in-the-sand optimist, either.

Ever consider that this whole trumping up of Iran is a smoke screen itself? Think about it--it sure has a lot of us in a tizzy.

3. Wonder how many of the "yes" votes
were sure that the US was going to attack Iran by the end of April, back during the last round of tinfoil.

4. Exactly
There used to be a poster here who had a long list of predictions by DUers going back to 2003. These were imminent warnings of a pending attack. Doesn't anyone get tired of crying wolf?

9.  I didn't vote , because I don't know
As you said , who knew we were going to bomb Iraq until the day bush declared it . Who knew the towers were going down on 9/11 . Who knew we were going to be require to give up certain rights after 9/11 .

Who knew bush would steal the elections twice and that now there would be even talk about attacking Iran .

No one can tell , if this happens there will be no warning at all .

It could happen tonight or next month or never because they are the only ones who know what the plan is .

Who knew their job would vanish one fine day and that the economy would be in such sorry shape ?

We can sit here and try to predict the outcome of the 2008 elections , this is all part of the plan of distraction and they all know it , provided we have elections or if we do what will change and when if ever .

Same thing with the global heating issue , here is another issue where the corps will jump on board only because of profit and to shut out all independants in the process and oh yes they will lie to us saying what they have done is the best answer and it will cost you far more than it should . This is only after the oil companies release their death grip .

12. There was little doubt in my mind
That * was going to bomb Iraq once Congress gave him the authority to do so. The only uncertainty was the exact date. Most of my friends and family felt the same way. In fact most of the right-wingers I knew were pretty certain that * was going to bomb Iraq.

Iran may not be as certain as Iraq was, but the warnings are certainly there.

13. If you didn't think Bush was going to bomb Iraq in 2002,
when he was outright saying that we needed to bomb Iraq, and that we were going to bomb Iraq, and when CNN was playing "March to War" as their headers for every story, you weren't paying attention.

15.  I certainly was paying attention , what I didn't know
Was that americans would really be this stupid and rave for this insane attack . I knew alot of ass holes at work who felt the entire middle east should be turned into glass and saw plenty of those rediculous tiny american flags but I really thought people were smarter than this .

The very same thing is happening right now other than the flags so then you tell me I'm not paying attention , this time I will not be surprised because i know americans are complete fools for the most part and I am an american in shame only .

5. I really don't know.
One thing I believe is that with so many eyes aware and hitting the ground with protests regarding Iran, it will be hard for there to be any surprise at all, which might indeed foil their plans. and the fact that all eyes were on the possible election theft, rendered 2006 a victory for us, because there were too many watchdog groups in place. With ALL the eyes watching, I find it hard to believe they will pull it off. Because of this, they are probably way behind schedule. It has probably been put off numerous times, but because we have such good "leakers" of say, that nuke transporting story,etc., they can't do a thing. We weren't expecting 9/11 at all, therefore it was easy for them to pull the MIHOP or LIHOP, whichever way you choose to see it. And since there will be no "rallying around the flag boys," I really have my doubts!

6. Yes!
If the Bush/Cheney cabal was willing to attack/occupy Iraq, what's to stop them?
I sincerely hope I am wrong, but expect the worst from that crew!:dilemma: :shrug: :freak: :think: :eyes: :yoiks:

7. By the end of his term: 95% chance. By Oct. 31..a little better than 50/50...
Closer to the election gives less time for the whole thing to turn sour...and may very well provide an excuse for kicking in those special laws we keep hearing about.

10. Yes.
Even though given the recent current events, I think it's pretty much a 50/50 chance,
but I'm leaning more towards yes.

Hell, they were talking about the distinct possibility of Airstrikes on Iran on CNN today.
Some ReThug Politician was shooting off his mouth. I was trying to block out the Repuke,
but couldn't help overhearing it.

I sincerely hope that I am wrong. :(
