French minister warns world to prepare for war
http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/?sid=282820

French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner says the world should prepare for war over Iran's nuclear program.

In a television interview over the weekend he said the worst scenario would be war with Iran, but an Iranian nuclear weapon would pose a real danger for the whole world.

Mr Kouchner said France wanted the European Union to prepare more sanctions against Iran even while negotiations against their nuclear program continue.

Until now the Security Council of the United Nations has imposed economic sanctions on Iran, but did not allow for military action.
more..

3. Well, for sure the roll out of the hype is here, well in Europe anyway
The pattern in the early days of NeoCon power in the Cheney administration was to hide all their intentions in public--where no one believed them.

But you know that the Cheney administration can't ever be trusted even on the point of their mendacity.

15. Well you never expected to live forever, right?
Looks like we're going out in a blaze of g_ory and taking the rest of the world with us. Think of it this way: it'll be one helluva show. Unfortunately, nobody will be left alive to watch the TV movie, but what the heck? Everything has a price!

5. Iran is not an enemy ........
the US has made them an enemy because they insist on being independent.

The so-called nuclear programme is,as far as the inspections and stated intent tell, peaceful. The Saudi Arabian nuclear programme is mostly concerned with medical applications and is, again, totally peaceful.

But the drums will keep on hammering.

What a lovely batch of meadow muffins this is.

12. Don't you know WE decide who can have a nuclear program?
We're the United States, and sovereignty means whatever the hell we say it means even if what we say makes no fucking sense. We probably have more military nukes (forget peaceful uses for nuclear energy!) than anybody in the whole goddamn world, but that's our business. Anybody that doesn't like it might find themselves on the wrong end of those nukes. At least that's what our president George Dubya Bush and president of vice Cheney the Dick say. So don't fuck with us! We're the biggest, baddest assholes on the planet, and if we have to we'll destroy the planet and every living thing on it just to prove that.

6. I am sure that other nations are just itching to support the US in
a war with Iran especially after seeing how successful we have been in Iraq. Now if we can only convince the Israelis to make the initial attack it will give Bush the excuse he is looking for. I think the world is truly going insane or at least part of it is.

13. What the fuck is up with France?
Iran is a signatory of the NPT any attack on them would be totally unlawful. Is this the new trend of the 21st century, major nuclear powers ganging up and warring with weaker oil rich countries. The EU, if they had any balls, would be uniting to stop the Bush Administration. If International community can't guarantee the security of Iran from the aggression of the Bush Cabal, then they have no right trying to stop it from producing the bomb that WILL guarantee their security. If the EU and the rest of the International community was worth a damn they should have protected the unarmed poor country of Iraq especially when there were inspectors on the ground.
