Get ready for a new war. It's Bush*'s ONLY way out of losing 2004 |
|
This sick, sick, perverted, amoral beast is fixated ONLY on re-selection. IraqNam is officially a complete and utter quagmire and NO ONE can deny it with a straight face. No one.
His only way out is to start a new war (Syria, Iran?) to get back that "war prez" buzz and get the "patriotic" 50%, and the "don't change horses in midstream" crap flowing.
Count on it.
Book it.
It's gonna happen.

Iran/Syria invasion. Reports a couple of days ago had some CENTCOM general threatening Iran. I read that, and thought .....hmmmm, would he really try that? Yep, he would.

3. How will that boost his #s? |
|
It's not like we forgot Afghanistan as soon as we went into Iraq.
/sarcasm off
Seriously though, we don't have the manpower. That means a draft, and ain't no way that will him more votes.

7. Rumfilled will convince him that he needs only a few troops |
|
and that it will all be handled by all the gee whizz techno-bomb crap.
I'm sure he can scrape up a few tens of thousands from somewhere, maybe pull them out of S. Korea or elsewhere.
I'm convinced its gonna happen

9. Germany is more likely what with N. Korea giving us a hard time |
|
Still, at some point we are going to run out of troops and mercenaries. I do not think they can sell "war-lite" again.

4. There is no new war. It's the "Greater Middle East" war, as planned. |
|
Sad, huh?
Bushco has always intended this "change the world" with American military power shit.
9/11 means nothing to them.
I don't remember voting for or against the "change the world" platform, but it sure seems to be the operative American evangelical policy.

14. PNAC blueprint through and through |
|
...and keep in mind PNAC recommends regime change in China!
On a more somber note, if Bush was to unleash another illegal invasion, he would be short of ground troops and he'd be forced to turn to tactical nukes to win his battle.
At that point better party like it's 1999! (Oh, wait, we're already on borrowed time!)

5. It has become a "new war" |
|
Since having to deal with revelations by Clarke and O'Neill that he has been planning to attack Iraq since Jan 01, Bush had tried to spin it as his being involved in formalating a comprehensive strategy to eradicate terrorism. In other words, he is 'fessing up to having entered office with the intention of waging a major war that would totally transform the Middle East.
No more "I did it because of Sept 11" but "I was already working on the Ultimate Solution to Terrorism".
I agree -- IF the American people are stupid/crazy enough to elect this guy in November, he will commit us to a long term regional war, and risk a world war. This is how he plans to keep the world free. His supporters back him in this 100% -- they've just been more open about it up to now.
People have to decide if they *want* our nation to become committed to such a major program, that will be very long and very bloody, and which will dominate our national experience for the foreseeable future.

When Bush reveals the surprise capture of Bin Laden in October...He jumps at least 10 points in the election. We'll need a bigger lead than what we got today....

8. Welcome! There is a possible hitch to the Osama revelation, though |
|
One theory is that Musharref has him in Pakistan and has us by the short ones. Think we'll have to send over some missiles in trade for him?

11. You may be right, but one thing is for sure |
|
he will lose on that because our troops are already spread thin and he will have to begin the draft to invade anymore countries and that will seal his re-selection fate.

Iran is facing Al Qaeda as an enemy now too. A plot which uncovered a major attack in Teheran was foiled last Friday. So much for the Unified Terrorists Theory.
They're fighting Al Qaeda in Iran, not supporting them, as His Chimperial Highness wants us to think as he prepares his next "pre-emption."

18. n korea and cheney is checking it out |
|
and it wont be ground troops and worrying about mass killing, they will bomb the hell out of it and may have already conditioned it with a nuclear attack
funny you should mention this. my son 9, came in tonight couldnt sleep, was thinking bush and crying. i felt so bad so we cuddled and talked and the problem is all the people in his school create bush as a hero. he is wanting to move. it became big tonight cause i had bush speech on and boys were listening.
anyway in much of the talk, i say i see kerry winning so you can let it go. we dont have much longer. he says, what if bush start another war before he leaves, i see him starting a war. and then he will take troops from iraq to take them there and leave iraq in a horrible mess
so just thought odd son talking this and here you are.
