Your Uncle Dave started watching the HBO mini-series, John Adams, on DVD this weekend. Watching part II that ends with the Declaration of Independence, three things came to mind. First, politics were a lot different and a lot the same 232 years ago compared to today. Second, how proud I am of what our forefathers believed in to create a nation founded on the principle of freedom for all. And third, how far we have fallen since then. |
On Fox News Sunday this morning, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol said that President Bush is more likely to attack Iran if he believes Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) is going to be elected.
However, “if the president thought John McCain was going to be the next president, he would think it more appropriate to let the next president make that decision than do it on his way out,” Kristol said, reinforcing the fact that McCain is offering a third Bush term on Iran.
“I do wonder with Senator Obama, if President Bush thinks Senator Obama’s going to win, does he somehow think — does he worry that Obama won’t follow through on that policy,” Kristol added.
#16: good idea. After all, you continue to be very successful at putting those Iraqis in their place. Look at them, they’re all submitting to authority…
Clinton’s boxload of outgoing exective orders have nothing on this potential poison pill from Bush. I think it’s very possible that SOMEONE, either the U.S. or Israel, will attack Iran’s nuclear facilities before the end of Bush’s presidency, given the common view that a Democratic administration would not do it. He won’t “suspend” elections, but he’ll give Obama his first real test instantly after the inaguration.
The attack on Iraq only disrupted the Petroluem supplies, driving prices through the roof !!! Something the Bush/Cheney “Energy Policy” was intended to do !!! Now to FINISH THE JOB, AND FORCE GAS TO 10 DOLLARS PER GALLON OR EVEN MORE, Dumbya and Prick Cheney will ATTACK IRAN !!! Pelosi do you hear this ??? Lets get IMPEACHMENT BACK ON THE TABLE, WITH ARREST AND RENDITION (BY WAY OF GITMO !!!) TO THE WORLD COURT AT THE HAGUE HANGING OVERHEAD AS WELL !!!

When you have a Gov and It’s people chanting death to America.
It may be time to pay attention.
If the guys who pulled off 911 could have got their hands on Nuks. I think they would have used them. Why would you want to take that chance.
Never under estamate a religious nut.
I think it’s more likely Europe will attack Iran if they see Obama winning. Despite all the talk of getting respect abroad, his pacifism has Europe nervous that he will surrender on the nuke issue. Already, they have frozen the assets of a large Iranian bank.
MikeN – You’re wrong again of course but it would be bad how?
“…reinforcing the fact that McCain is offering a third Bush term on Iran.” Uh, excuse me? What “fact” is being referenced?
# 4 Noel: “You’re (sic) country was founded on slave labour (siccer), Uncle Dave, not freedom for all in the least.” Can you name a country founded before the 20th century that was NOT founded on salve or, at least, feudal labor? Certainly not the UK…
#27, Nimby
Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Iceland, and others did not use salve labor. They might have used salve for their aches and pains, but not labor. Before general anesthetics, they usually went through labor without anything.
#27 needs to recheck the list on who didn’t use slave labor. South Africa did before the British stole it and they used forced labor long after the British stole it besides the Bristish doing an outstanding job of showing what can happen when you run concentration camps badly.
#11 most likely hit the nail on the head Isreal isn’t going to wait for the nut cases in Iran to hit them. They aren’t going to do anything stupid like invade and try to take over the mad house either.
#24 also has a very scary point. A lot of people seem to think we can just forget the whole thing, come home and everything will be fine. I have grave reservations about that, pun intended.
I wonder if the “surge” was a cynical “look over here” so that congress would get a tied up, rather than getting ahead of this INSANE obsession to bomb Iran.
