Paul Krugman asks today what major distraction
Advertisements [?]
will the bush boys use now that they are loosing with Social Security

Here is waht I told him today

The PNAC plan is on schedule for Iran, so they will soon switch all their attention from Social Security to Iran... mark my words, they are going to go to war with Iran by the Summer.

Of course they may intend to do this with an Air Campaign, but given that Iran actually has an armed force that is more capable... don't count on that staying only as an air campaign and this not leading to a draft....

Paul talk about your national security distraction.

Now let me fully worst case this, short of nukes of course.

We do our air attack, they shoot down some of our pilots... worst they manage to get out their subs into the gulf... those sortie subs sink two of our carriers in the midst of shipping lanes effectively blocking the entrance to the gulf to any major shipping traffic, also trapping our troops in Iraq who cannot be resupplied or reinforced using shipping lanes. By the way, this is the way most of the supplies are going in. Did I mention Naval Casualties would be the worst since oh Coral Sea or Midway?

That is your national security issue that Bush will play on... as well as the second Pearl Harbor (or is it the third one as the second WAS September 11, regardless of conspiracy theories or not... PNAC page 48 rebuilding America's Defense), that will justify that universal draft they need to continue this eternal war for eternal profit. On the plus side the troops that survive and come home will hopefully have lost their taste for war as a game. On the down side, they will come back to a destroyed economy and very much in shambles former super power. That will be Bush's legacy. (and this assumes no WW III, which now I believe he will cause)

The drumbeat for Iran has started by the way... and the stenography corp is obliging the bush boys... and not asking questions... and I wish the lapdog media started doing exposes on PNAC... what is wrong with this picture I have to go to Der Spiegel to get good exposes or the Guardian, but most Americans are in the dark about PNAC. So Paul you want to make a real difference, speak about PNAC in your Op Eds, because all they are doing is in there... and we are right on schedule with it.
