The Shock and Awe of Bombing Iran: The Bush-Cheney Grand Finale of Destruction.

http://www.buzzflash.com/articles/editorblog/068

'Amidst the passionate and contentious Democratic primary, all of us may have taken our eyes off the pending possibility that Bush and Cheney kicked Fallon aside to replace him with a politically-malleable military leader who will go along with nuking Iran.

That may be the final shock and awe that this monstrous administration will leave us with before they exit stage right.'

1. WEEEEEeeeeeee !!!!

:bounce:

:puke:

[MercutioATC]

2. The govt. spokesperson accused Esquire of misrepresenting Fallon's positions...

I don't believe that for a minute, but is anybody aware of a statement by Fallon in reference to the article after it was published?

3. Cue up Bon Jovi's "Blaze of Glory"

Seems to be the theme song for BushCo, as their final "fuck you" to the American people. They know that a war with Iran would not be quite so easy to extract ourselves from, and that it would be much more likely to spread into something wider.

20. Think "Eve of Distruction" is more appropriate

[democrank]

4. What a frightening possibility.

~PEACE~

5. Not happening

Halliburton can't make money off an Iranian bombing.

13. Halliburton

Halliburton will just buy the companies most likely to profit from such a military endeavor. And Halliburton exec's will no doubt have advance knowledge.

6. As I often say

These bastards are going to do as much damage as they possibly can before they leave in 2009.

Right up to inauguration 2009 they will turn as much of our country & world to shit as they possibly can.

I just hope I live long enough to see Karma kick in for them. :mad:

7. #1. US launches "surgical" strikes on targets in Iran (the Nightmare begins).

#2. Iran immediately lets the Sunburn missiles fly, and within four hours half the US fleet in the Persian Gulf is destroyed and several thousand US sailors are lost.

#3. The US "retaliates" with massive bombings in Iran.

#4. Battalions of Iran's 650,000-man standing army cross the border into Iraq to seal off the port city of Basra. Crack regiments of the Iranian army stream across the border to engage US troops (who are now reliant on re-supply by air). Meanwhile, Iran calls up reserve components.

#5. Martial law is declared in the US .. etc., etc...

Dien Bien Phu in the desert. The neocons' wet-dream. The Christian taliban's Armageddon. W.B. Yeat's prescient poem has found it's fruition.

THE SECOND COMING

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

8. Saudi's prepare for Nuclear Strike on Iran.

The Saudi Shura council will secretly discuss national plans to deal with any sudden nuclear and radioactive hazards that may affect the kingdom following experts' warnings of possible attacks on Iran's Bushehr nuclear reactors, media reports said Saturday.

Putin. Yes, he will come to the aid of Iran. Welcome to WWIII.

[GreenPartyVoter]

23. Russian Jets have been doing fly-bys on our aircraft carriers, causing our guys to scramble so

yeah, I can see your scenario coming to fruition.

What if all of the middle east stuff is at least partly about engaging with Russia? Maybe Dick always wanted his Cold war heated up and now he'll get his dream??

[greyghost]

24. One can't put anything past that sociopath. It's all about CONTROL

of the Middle East oil reserves.

[Individualist]

14. Addendum to 2

or 3: Russia and China form military alliance with Iran.

[Zodiak]

9. Scary stuff, all of it.

This story has gone up and down for years, now. I hope it is all just chatter and propaganda, because failing that, we are screwed.

21. The BURNING question in my mind is...

Will there be a prostitute in the press room during the run-up?

[librechik]

22. what's the problem? EVERYONE KNOWS Iran is refining WEAPONS GRADE uranium
