Iran War Drums Are Sounding...My Prediction
Edited on Thu Apr-10-08 10:27 AM by rsmith6621

.......McShame has mentioned it in campaign speeches and my bet **** will mention Iran in a few minutes in his BS spew.


Here is a prediction.....tell me if you think I am wrong.....

I think the administration will launch an unprovoked strike in to Iran a few days before the Democratic convention in Denver to divert attention from that event and the nominating process....they will use the opportunity to let McShame to act like he is in charge by making him a chief spokesman.....and if that doesn't get the response desired then the administration will escalate action against Iran creating outrage here at home thus being able to invoke martial law.

1. You may be right. The timing would certainly make it suspect
even to the compliant MSM, however.

By the way, it's "martial law."

2. Marshall law? what the hell is Marshall law?
Edited on Thu Apr-10-08 10:28 AM by QuestionAll
:shrug:

is it anything like "martial"(i.e.military- as in court "martial") law?

just wondering. i figure it must be named after somebody named Marshall, since it's capitalized.

3. I think a number of Generals and Senators would put a stop to
that. B*sh isn't going to do anything to Iran. If he was you would see them pushing the anti-Iran propaganda on the MSM outlets much much harder than they are.

6. Incidentally, no, it wouldn't surprise me if the govt took this route under nefarious circumstances
I don't expect it will happen, and if did, wouldn't go as planned for them ... but yes, it's an obvious concern given wars and rumors of wars.

7. I agree with you.
Nothing Bush and company have done so far has gone as planned, and Invading Iran wouldn't either. Martial law is a concern, but I can remember when Clinton was in office, and the republicans were all talking about how he would invoke "Martial Law" and not leave office. My mother in law was dead certain that was going to happen, and complained about it every day. Never happened.

I can't see this country accepting any kind of Martial law by Bush. Not even most republicans would buy it. It would be the end of the economy, and the start of rebellion if you ask me. It would be a disaster! I could be wrong, but I pray I am not.

9. Put nothing past this regime
They want to start a war with Iran so bad and have not been successful to date. I am sure they would welcome the opportunity.
