1. No doubt that was Cheney's intent when he started this shit..

He will likely nuke Iran before he leaves office. :nuke:

[Kurska]

2. What in god's name did cheney start, What the hell does cheney have to do with this?

How can Americans be so simple in their world view, does it ever occur to you that different nations have their own government and make their own choices?

[stillcool]

3. History ..

on edit... American Policy in the Middle-east.

[Webster Green]

6. Israel gets the OK on their killing sprees from the U.S.

Cheney runs the U.S.

Got it now? :wtf:

[Kurska]

9. Even then cheney didn't start anything

He approved it, he didn't come up with the idea nor implement it, thats even assuming America had prior knowledge of the upcoming israeli military efforts and given the level of secrecy around it in the effort to achieve tactical surprise, I won't be shocked if he didn't

11. Are you serious?

You don't think they got encouragement and approval from the Big Dick? :rofl:

[Shaktimaan]

4. Cheney started the Israeli/Palestinian conflict?

Damn he IS old.

[ZombieHorde]

5. Fucking Methuselah.

[Webster Green]

7. No, but he is encouraging Israel's latest slaughter..

I have no doubt that he will start a war in Iran within the next week or so.

He'll probably start lobbing nukes.

Cheney runs the show. He just looted the entire U.S. treasury, and got away with it.

He does whatever he wants, and he wants WWIII real bad.

[azurnoir]

8. While I do not believe that Iran will be nuked

in the next 12 days, it is also true that while Cheney did not start the fire he and his protegee George certainly kept it stoked

10. Other People's Preferences In Entertainment, Sir, Remain An Enduring Mystery To Me

The desire to experience fright for fun is not among my vices. It was always my practice never to voluntarily experience fear unless paid, and paid pretty well....

[Idealism]

12. Bullshit, Iran wants nothing to do with war

Mahmoud isn't looking too good for reelection late this year as is with oil prices in the gutter and he isn't even the real ruler of the country. The Ayatollah already issued a fatwa against nuclear weapons or any kind, so there isn't going to be a mushroom cloud over Jerusalem, contrary to what the right-wing Israeli government would like us to believe.
