Will Bush Preempt Indictments by Getting US Into a War With Iran?

[leveymg]

Here are some scenarios. Mine goes like this:

If Bush fires Fitz, the President's approvals will fall twenty points, which will put Shrub below where Nixon was after the Saturday Night Massacre. If the Republican leadership doesn't ask for and get Bush and Cheney's resignations, they're going to lose fifty or sixty seats in 2006. Then they'll have an impeachment on their hands, too.

Then again, Ariel Sharon may just do an end run around the Arabian Penninsula and bomb the Iranian reactor at Busher, which will lead to the Big Bloody in the Middle East. There is a good chance that will have domestic fallout, and in the state of emergency that follows, Bush and Cheney may just keep their jobs. Of course, the new seat of the U.S. Government will be Site R. The Administration may not even need to talk to the surviving members of Congress over at the Greenbrier.

Golf, anyone?

1. Other:

Bush won't get us into war with Iran to avoid indictments. Why should he? No indictments will be forthcoming.

2. I agree. But I do think that that bunch of bloody fingered ghouls will get

us into a war with Iran.

[whistle]

3. The last one is the most plausible....

4. With the approval ratings falling over Iraq they would be taking an

awfully big chance if they pull something in Iran. Even if Sharon decides to do it for them, I wonder if they could get away with it, because it would seem so obvious.

This country isn't where it was when Bush pulled off the Invasion of Iraq. Too many folks know what was up with that now. Not enough folks but a hell of a lot more than then. Also some of the Media that isn't corrupted are onto what the PNAC/NeoCon's were all about.

It would be very chancy to blow the Middle East to avoid indictments or to get his poll numbers up. :eyes:

But, given their track record they just might try it. Who knows...But, I hope that it could be stopped. It's kind of out of our hands at this point so some folks behind the scenes would have to do it.
