Yes, but Israel is so deep in the world's doghouse, that they cannot attack any nation.
Posted by tempus at August 31, 2006 04:17 AMThe Administration will stay and fight until every last one of our forces is incapable of firing another shot. Bush/Cheney? More like Bush/Custer.
Posted by gtash at August 31, 2006 04:48 AMAnd the corporate media will extol the virtues of the Mad King, idiot son of George, as he blithely sets the world ablaze. Either that or feed us the latest on some blond bimbo missing on some island. You hear anything about the hardened base under rocket attack or the CIA agents killed in Iraq? Nope. Didn't think so.

[Editor: ignore=off]Gilliard was batting .000 on predictions until he got Lieberman/Lamont right. So betting against one of those predictions is sound practice.

Dick Cheney is president.
Therefore...
Posted by J. Donne at August 31, 2006 08:12 AMWe know that Bushco has no intention of leaving Iraq (which something like 80% of Iraqis already know), but their bungling has made the occupation about 100 times more burdensome than they expected, and is very badly straining the ground forces.
They also have (belatedly) figured out that the invasion of iraq and toppling of Saddam has been a huge boon to Iranian influence in the Gulf. Doh!!
What to do?
Well, one thing you could do is intentionally escalate the "war" to existential status: start comparing it to WWII, start calling it WWIII, start calling the enemy by WWII "names", start drawing "parallels" with the triumphant, noble fight against fascism. Start calling dissenters appeasers.
Well, whaddaya know, that's exactly what they're doing!
Why? Obviously if we're in WWIII, then Bushco can broach the subject of increasing troop strength, i.e a "draft" or something to reduce the strain on the military. And the shitbrain reactionary stooges (Toby, bagley) are fully on board. Right, guys?
The constitutional crisis approaches....

Posted by Will at August 31, 2006 08:21 AMI've been fantasizing about such a dual-resignation scenario for years now, but I know it's just a fantasy. It's what would happen if, all of a sudden, Cheney and Bush turned into rational adults with consciences. Yeah, like THAT's gonna happen. They embody the idea of ideological 'dead-enders'.
Posted by biggerbox at August 31, 2006 08:29 AMone thing that seems to be one of the very top motivators for these unhumans wasn't listed
I consider a pact for profit as the motive for this "war" Everyone involved is making billions in oil profits among other strategic product sales, and that this may be what they are doing.
they don't care about any of the things americans do as a whole, and this is why it does seem likely that they are simply driven by money. They don't appear to have feelings like normal people do, and I seriously doubt that anything that you or I would consider acceptable would be seen the same way by the people in power.
what the hell else could this possibly do to benefit them? they are stealing money from all sources possible. They are only saying what the relgious morons want them to say to keep from being arrested by a steadily more angry populace.
no, these people are in it for the money. Examine back, what else makes any sense about this?
