The October Surprise

[Pharaoh]

By Gary Hart

10/03/06 "HuffingtonPost" --- -- It should come as no surprise if the Bush Administration undertakes a preemptive war against Iran sometime before the November election.

Were these more normal times, this would be a stunning possibility, quickly dismissed by thoughtful people as dangerous, unprovoked, and out of keeping with our national character. But we do not live in normal times.

And we do not have a government much concerned with our national character. If anything, our current Administration is out to remake our national character into something it has never been.

The steps will be these: Air Force tankers will be deployed to fuel B-2 bombers, Navy cruise missile ships will be positioned at strategic points in the northern Indian Ocean and perhaps the Persian Gulf, unmanned drones will collect target data, and commando teams will refine those data. The latter two steps are already being taken.

1. Do these assholes honestly believe that the rest of the world ...

is going to sit back and do nothing while we launch yet another unprovoked attack on a Middle Eastern country, destabilizing the region even more?

If we pull this shit again, we're toast! :scared: :nuke:

3. What I cant figure is why a war with Iran

would HELP the repugs. Americans are already sick of war. The "stand behind the flag" response has already been used up. I think it would completely backfire on them. But, that is just me.

4. I was thinking North Korea, after their nuclear test.......

If Bush launches another war, the Repugs are done.
