Get Ready for World War III
With every poll showing majorities of Americans both fed up with Bush’s war against Iraq and convinced that Bush’s invasion of Iraq has made Americans less safe, the White House moron proposes to start another war by attacking Iran. VP Cheney has already ordered the US Strategic Command to come up with plans to strike Iran with tactical nuclear weapons.

---

The only check on Bush is the lack of US troops. Bogged down in the Iraqi quagmire, US commanders are stating that a third rotation of our exhausted and demoralized troops in Iraq can be avoided only by troop withdrawals by next spring.

However, on August 11 Bush nixed the military’s talk of reducing US troops in Iraq. The next day the commander of US logistics in Iraq announced that the number of insurgent attacks on US forces along supply routes has doubled in the last year, making it clear that far from winning, the US is not even holding its own.

---

The Bush administration is insane. If the American people do not decapitate it by demanding Bush’s impeachment, the Bush administration will bring about Armageddon. This may please some Christian evangelicals conned by Rapture predictions, but World War III will please no one else.

3. What are the chances of the Pentagon refusing to instigate
an attack on Iran, knowing that this can really get out of control in a hurry? I mean refusing the orders of the "Commander in Chief" and/or Rumsfeld?

4. Hard to say.
That depends on how successful the purges are and how dumb/scared the survivors of the purges are. Some say Gen. Byrnes was instigating insubordination in the ranks.

It will get out of control immediately, if they attack Iran, there won't be any delay, nobody is confused, plans have been made. I am utterly blowing smoke here, and yet I am quite sure of that.

6. the last paragraph and the most powerful:
"The Bush administration is insane. If the American people do not decapitate it by demanding Bush’s impeachment, the Bush administration will bring about Armageddon. This may please some Christian evangelicals conned by Rapture predictions, but World War III will please no one else."

7. This is why
* is president, these plans for war are why he is president, and impeaching him, * won't stop this war unless those surrounding him are taken out (impeached) as well. The fact that we are bogged down in Iraq is why nukes are beaning considered for Iran and don't think public opinion means squat to these people, it doesn't.
