Iraq Explodes,Oil Prices hit all-time high,stock market tumbles

[Dancing_Dave]

The Bush Administrations Oil-driven Mid-East policies have backfired into political and economic catastrophe. Fill your gas tanks right now, very soon you'll see the highest prices at the pump you've ever seen! But of course, for the Iraqi's this is far, far worse. None of them know how much longer they will be alive. At worst, we will face a Depression.

British reporter Robert Fisk forsaw that Iraq was about to explode a week ago, it's deeper than any of todays fighting reports:

This is another Vietnam, but the Bush Administrations policies have set up a situation that will have more devasting economic impact. All the issues are together here. How long will we let this go on? How many people will be killed or impovrished as a result? Pay attention to things that really matter, folks!

1. Hey, we've just turned the corner!!

Just like the Titanic was about to turn the corner on the iceberg...

2. Yep.

Now Iran is warning that Iraq will become a new Vietnam. Which will keep the Bush-Cheney gang right on their suicidal path toward a war with Iran. At which point the Chinese will at the minimum call in the billions of dollars of debt we owe to them now thanks to Bush.

Kerry needs to take account of whats going on, both in Iraq itself and the economic impacts, and seperate himself from Bush's madness MUCH more clearly than he has dared to do so far.

Unless something changes PDQ, I'm afraid it could be much worse than Vietnam

6. Ya know what? I think Kerry KNEW this would happen in August.....

or even early September. And I have a feeling that THIS is part of the reason why he's been laying low on the teevee advertisement $$ just now. (This, plus the newly effective caps on raising $$ for his own coffers rather than the gov't. $$)

Hell, I'm just a well-read DUer, and I'VE KNOWN the shit was going to have to hit the fan late this summer! So surely, as well-read and well-advised as Kerry is, and with his and Teresa's many national and international contacts, he's had a pretty darned good idea, too!

Yes, John O'Neal and his pet vets are causing quite a stir with their anti-Kerry ads.....but Kerry can take 'em to the mat on that, about the time the rest of the shit hits the fan.

I think Kerry has just planned to let all of the horrible news of the new bush world unfold in August, and then come out with swords blazing. I mean... he's got the truth AND the news on his side.... he's playing the timing on this pretty darned well, methinks.
