Dec 10 will be the start of the Iran war , midpoint between Turkey day and the Iowa caucus.

Gas will be approaching $7 at the pump, 65% will be calling for the destruction of Iran. How will this effect the early primaries?

[Basileus Basileon]

1. Oh boy! Just like October was going to be,

and just like July and August and April and January were going to be! And just like every month for the last three fucking years were too!

Or is there actually a wolf this time?

[CK_John]

2. Not by me, maybe Ritter. n/t

[magellan]

3. Um, if gas is close to $7 by Dec 10

...(this year I presume you mean), then Bush** will need the troops HERE because there'll be riots in the streets. The public's introduction to peak oil is being made slowly to avoid that as much as possible. I can't see $7/gallon gas by mid-December.

I do believe Bush** wants to attack Iran, badly, and is getting more antsy for a plausible excuse to do so as his time in office draws short. All sorts of wicked things are possible if he finds his in -- and the effect of the fallout on the general election is more worrisome than on the primaries.

4. That is part of there plan, blame the oil situation on Iran and everybody will channel all that

anger at Iran. Holiday flights will be canceled, oil be about 175 by Turkey day, gas will be going up at 50 cents a pop. Perfect time for Bush/Cheney to strike and effect the candidate selection at the same time.

6. The american people riot

that is a laugh riot.

That said... what do you think Blackwater is for?

And they will not be able to avoid peak oil

As to Bush attacking Iran... it will happen... and that is his road to the Presidency for life. Nobody amases that power or starts ruling by fiat, to give it all up

[lonestarnot]

8. Well my guess is if he pulled that shit, for life wouldn't be long.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. That would be only the case if you had the American

people rise up... but it is predcitve. They have not fought back over the last seven years. and they are going to start now becuase?

I truly fear people are missing just how deeply in shit we are

[CK_John]

14. Around here they still blame Carter for not turning Iran into a "parking lot" in 79. n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. I don't doubt it, that there are some folks out there who blame carter

for not turning that contry into glass... we have about 20% who'd not mind if we used nukes willy nilly.

And those will be the ones forming the core of the people loving the new regime

[lonestarnot]

15. Nope that scenario will NOT happen.

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. I highly recomend you read Naomi Wolf's book

[lonestarnot]

18. Yes I need to, maybe I'll get a copy this weekend.

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. on the bright side, it is FAST readying

[lonestarnot]

20. FAST readying? Wha?

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. She is an extremely good writer

:-)

So it is a fast read

Also she used the style of an 18th century panphlet, with modern langauge

Once I started I was done in two days.

[lonestarnot]

22. Well I'm sold, just have to get the book and that takes time too.

[EFerrari]

5. If they start a war on my birthday, there will be hell to pay!

Don't we already have special forces in there? This is how we start wars now. Quietly and sneaking. What a disgrace.

[lonestarnot]

10. Just like those sneaky little meercats, (sp?) only they are cute.

[lonestarnot]

7. Well I don't know, do you have wagers on them?

:rofl:

[Selatius]

9. Why not Dec. 7th, the day Japan attacked Pearl Harbor?

Dec. 7th is as good as any day if we're going to make predictions.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. That would show a sense of historical irony

righties are not prone to get irony

:-)

[CK_John]

13. That why I bypassed 12/7 too obvious, but neocon's do love symbolic dates. n/t

[conscious evolution]

23. That is a birthday present

I could do without.
