Recall, September 10, 2001. The Clinton surplus had been given away in tax cuts for the R&Fs. Rich and Famous. Investor confidence fell and the DJIA fell with it. To bottom out at 7000 down from 2000s 11,000+. The GOP was in bad shape!
Then came Osama. Like a messenger from the gods, he offered the GOP salvation! What to do? Follow Clinton’s example of 1993? Or go off like a quick-draw shoot first West of Pecos justice Judge Roy Bean style? Hey, you go with what you’ve got! Geo W has a very hort attention span. Too much white powder at Yale.
Historically, Americans go with the man in the White House if he is perceived to be a man of action. September 12, Geo W tells the UN to go to hell. The right wing goes wild! Congress flips and passes Tonkin Gulf 2. Geo W sends the Marines and Army into Afghan to get the Taliban. Whoever the hell they are. Rich white Republicans love it! We’re kicking butt, not wasting good time debating in the Security Council. The GOP carries the 2002 election in a cake walk!
Comes 2004, the Dems can only promise to “do it better.” You don’t change horses all the more when the other horse won’t run. Geo W and the GOP win another election, 2004. Say Thank You, Osama. Rumor has it Geo W awards Osama the Legion of Merit in a secret Executive Order. And pays him the $25 million in gold reward!
So now, what do they do for election #3? 2006. Hey, let’s kick butt on Iran. We know the Persian’s pride won’t let them back down in public. Since Darius was King of Persia, even the king cannot change a Persian law. It’s where we got the expression, “written in stone.” We paint Iran into a corner and they will do our electioneering for us! Believe me, on November 8, the Iran thing will move to back burner. Just like North Korea.

If we go to war with Iran, Iraq will be a forgotten realm just like every other country the US has destroyed. You can bet we'll pull a majority of our troops from Iraq and concentrate on Iran and leave Iraq to fall into Civil War. The only troops in Iraq will be those there to protect supply lines and command posts from the damages of civil war.
Honestly, I beleive the bombing on the Temples in Iraq has something to do with the entire Iran ordeal. Incite civil war in Iraq so it will be easier to "let them fight their fight" while we pull out and fight Iran.

this has the potential for dragging isreal into the struggle should a US strike take place this could escalate into a military quagmire for the US/ isreali troops.........we should hope this does not happen!!!

Wait a second...why do you say "Dragged" Israel into this? Israel dragged herself into this and us along with it when she threatened to take out Irans nuclear facilities. Did you actually think that if Israel can threaten Iraq, and then target Iran, what would stop her from targetting Syria and Lebanon next?
Do not think that our memories are that short that we can forget who initiated this ****storm. So stop with the surprised look on your face that now all of a sudden you are going to find major trouble at your doorstep. Did you think that America was going to bear the brunt of this only especially after your political leaders began thumping their chests threatening to attack a sovereign nation by crossing her borders and damaging the property of another nation? Its going to be obvious in who's interests we are acting upon if we go into Iran. Not to mention that your government has already threatened to attack wether america approves or not.

Israel has threatened Iran for some time now. I highly doubt a US attack would disassociate [Israel] at this point. What probably makes it worse is that [Israel] is and has been a nuclear power and a member of the bomb club albeit clandestinely, so [Israel] really is in no position to be crying foul. If Israel had no WMDs I'd say then If we attacked on [Israel’s] behalf it would be that we were defending [Israel] but, to attack and [Israel] is armed to the hilt it would be like we were acting on [Israeli] orders rather then by independent choice.[Edited by Don W]

Or, how one man screwed up so much in so little time. And, he has over 2 years to go, until January 20, 2009. Sweet Jesus. Bless us, for we have sinned.
Geo W has forfeited our grand-children's future to support what he likes to call a “booming economy.” In reality, Geo W is giving us a single economy dividing into TWO economies. The upper 10% or 15% of the population - 30 to 45 million - and the lower 85% or 90% of the population - 255 to 270 million. As in China where the division is 300 million “yes” and 1,000 million “no.” China’s divide is also described as “coastal” and “inland.” The future bodes ill for both.
Geo W has blown the lid off the Middle East. Who in the @!*%@ ever thought voting was equal to democracy? A high school drop-out knows better than that. But not Geo W and VP Cheney and the Oberfuhrer.
Nuclear war? Sweet Jesus. Save us from ourselves! We have not talked about ‘nuking’ anyone since the 1962 Cuba missile thing. But now it’s a hot topic! Thank You Geo W. You could have the distinction of being America's first designated president and if you get your way, you may well be America’s LAST president. I hate you for this. If I ever vote Republcan again, I hope Jesus cuts off my hand!
