1. I get Ed Schultz here

:(

Damn you Clear Channel.

[whistle]

6. I'm listening to the link with AAR here on DU....

...can you link to that?

[formerrepuke]

2. Iran is a huge country with huge population- the biggest one we'd be

taking on since Japan. Invading would tear the country apart (ours, that is).

[Colorado Blue]

3. This would be insane, forgetaboutit. AAACCKKKKKKK. nt

[HereSince1628]

4. is this re claims of Ritter or a new source?

Personally, I think invasion is very unlikely.

Missle attacks on limited targets, maybe. But only if Bush can get everyone whipped up about Iran's nuclear threat.

An invasion of Iraq would take a lot of pre-positioning. For a June attack it seems they are already out of time to organize that.

[NYCGirl]

5. Not to mention where would be get the troops? NT

[whistle]

7. Randi had Scott Ritter on early and discussed this....

[kliljedahl]

9. Seymour Hersh said it weeks ago

8. we still have lots of bombs and cruise missiles left

we also have a bunch of nukes lying around. but i don't think these crazies will use nukes - it's bad for the oil.

[New Dealer]

10. I don't think Bush would do that

I know there's a lot of things that I thought he wouldn't do but he did, but invading Iran would basically be impossible. We don't have enough troops and money (we hardly have enough for this current war).

[Pharaoh]

11. they will not invade

they just plan a massive arial assault on all their nuclear stuff , major weapons systems ect...........

this is why they wanted to build those mini nuke bunker busters,
they will use nukes which will be really really bad.

[TexasLawyer]

15. Oh, is THAT all?

:sarcasm:

[whistle]

21. here's the article


www.antiwar.com/orig/ritter.php?articleid=5537

I trust this guy-i don't know much about the McDonald's story(I'll check it out), but don't forget how they smear and discredit ANYONE who dares speak the truth about them.

13. A republican wouldn't win for another 100 years if Bush invades Iran.

There is no way Bush could win a war with Iran without a draft. Even if he only bombs them and doesn't invade, Iran will send weapons to the Iraqi resistance.

[rzemanfl]

20. No, they will send troops and weapons. n/t

[patricia92243]

14. He must have soldiers we don't know about. n/t

[NightOwwl]

22. There will be more than enough soldiers...

when he reinstates the draft.

[quinnox]

16. wow, thats quick!

how are they going to get all the equipment in place in that time frame?? are we going to leave Iraq empty of ground forces?

This is hogwash

Maybe they meant a date of June 2006 or something

[NightOwwl]

23. 2005, 2006...what's the difference?

A war is a war is a war.

[AzDar]

17. Just a thought: could attacking Iran be the excuse Shrub needs to

pull out (with perceived dignity)from Iraq?

[bunny planet]

18. Thom Hartman thinks we'll take on Syria next. He disagrees with Scott

Ritter, Sy Hersh, and Jim Jeffords, all of whom have said we already have plans to attack Iran in June.

Sheeple, if any of you are listening, WAKE the F up.

[Nikki Stone 1]

19. Military guy I know says Iran was the goal all along

Afghanistan and Iraq both border Iran and were needed as staging areas for the war against Iraq.

[NightOwwl]

21. Anyone who thinks there is no way this can happen...

should read these remarks by Jim Jeffords (Vermont Independent Senator.) He believes the Bushies have made plans to go to war in Iran to help elect Jeb in 2008. We know that these people will do ANYTHING to stay in power...I think this is a subject that should be taken very seriously.

Jeffords, who opposes the war in Iraq, predicted the Bush administration would start a war in Iran to help elect a third member of the Bush clan to the White House.

“I think it was all done to get oil,” Jeffords said of invading Iraq. “And the loss of life that we had, and the cost of it, was to me just a re-election move, and they're going to try to live off it. Probably start another war, wouldn't be surprised, next year. Probably in Iran.”

“Do you think that's likely?” VPR host Bob Kinzel asked.

“I probably shouldn't even talk on it, I just feel so bitter about the thinking that's gone on behind them, and the reasons they go to war and went to war,” Jeffords replied. “But I feel very strongly that they are looking ahead, and that there will be an opportunity to go into Iran and try to get their son elected president. I don't know, but you do it each time they (are) going to have a new president. I’m very, very (Jeffords chuckles). Oh, well, I better be quiet.”
