3. The Saudis
Many observers have wondered why Bush has not already found reason to attack Iran in his "war on terror" which is how he covers up the illegal occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq. His rhetoric of late has focused on not only Iran but Syria. So we may be headed for a "two-fer" with our military forces being directed into both countries from Iraq. Reality is he wants Iran and Syria in order to either restore the old Iraqi pipeline to Haifa or build a new one. And connect it to Iran.

Many observers have begun to realize the reason why he has not been able to do so is Saudi Arabia which simply cannot afford for the Strait of Hormuz to be blocked which most likely would be the first act by Iran and they would sink as many ships as possible to block the strait.

Many observers now wonder if Bush is willing to lose Saudi oil in order to gain Iranian oil in addition to Iraqi oil.

A very dangerous game has obviously begun finally and Congress at this point really cannot stop it - we can thank Nancy Pelosi for that.

Even if it had been unsuccessful the reality of impeachment is it would have limited Bush's ability to act independent of Congress.

Instead he is able to do what he wants. The Empress sits while the Emperor fiddles. Rome is burning. And taking all of Italy with it.

The man is evil. No other word for him. As is Cheney.

The real danger is the alliance that exists between Iran and Russia - the Russians may decide they have had enough of Bush. And of us.

"And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air..."

The problem is the flag won't still be there. It will be gone. Along with our major cities.
