    Bush Plans Nuclear Attack on Iran

    Ahmadinejad is a typical monotheistic loony tune who was helped into power in Iran by Bush administration officials inflaming Islamic nationalism in Iran prior to the election of him.

    The only Hitler around right now is George W Bush, the Armageddon obsessed, chronically lying, emperor wanna be, low life son of a bitch my brain-washed, former marine, republican neighbor called "A true leader," I almost puked on his shoes.

    He described leadership as doing what you want to, in spite of the views of others.

    That may work in combat, but it hardly qualifies as political leadership, and I'm not so sure it works in combat either, though never having served in the military I'll refrain from drawing a conclusion about that.

    I have an idea the notion is based more upon some distorted notion of manliness in which a true man does not allow others to tell him what to do or influence his actions in any way, a kind of cowboy mindset, roaming alone on the range astride your horse, Trigger, eating cold beans from a can, defending "freedom".

    I bring it up because this is what sane America is up against, this kind of enshrinement of authoritarian thinking, in getting these fascists out of power. My neighbor, though he's crazy, is a very nice man. Not even nice - a real sweetie. He exudes it. Which is really frightening. If a guy like that subscribes to this world view, what about the evil fucks who embrace it also?

    If Bush does this, well, then, it's world war III and it's world wide nuclear conflict. We won't die from Global Warming. We'll die from a war ravaged, irradiated planet.

    This reasoning, quoted in the article
    "a sustained bombing campaign in Iran will humiliate the religious leadership and lead the public to rise up and overthrow the government,"

    is about as realistic as Iraq greeting the American occupiers as liberators.

    Science fiction has morphed into reality under Bush. We now have a lunatic with his finger tight on the nuclear trigger.

    Of course, you can bet the democrat mentioned is Zionist bigot Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, who thinks killing Arabs is fine and fun, and who is being challenged by an actual democrat, Ned Lamont, for his seat in the senate. Barack Obama, my senator, unfortunately, has been stumping for Lieberman.
    Obama needs to go. Lieberman need to go. Bush Needs to go. And any democrat who does not support censuring the lunatic needs to go. WE need to have the censure then get on with the impeachment.

    This is very serious. We must stop Bush.


    WASHINGTON (AFP) - The administration of
    President George W. Bush is planning a massive bombing campaign against
    Iran, including use of bunker-buster nuclear bombs to destroy a key Iranian suspected nuclear weapons facility, The New Yorker magazine has reported in its April 17 issue.

    The article by investigative journalist Seymour Hersh said that Bush and others in the White House have come to view Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a potential Adolf Hitler.

    "That's the name they're using," the report quoted a former senior intelligence official as saying.

    A senior unnamed
    Pentagon adviser is quoted in the article as saying that "this White House believes that the only way to solve the problem is to change the power structure in Iran, and that means war."

    The former intelligence officials depicts planning as "enormous," "hectic" and "operational," Hersh writes.

    One former defense official said the military planning was premised on a belief that "a sustained bombing campaign in Iran will humiliate the religious leadership and lead the public to rise up and overthrow the government," The New Yorker pointed out.

    In recent weeks, the president has quietly initiated a series of talks on plans for Iran with a few key senators and members of the House of Representatives, including at least one Democrat, the report said.

    One of the options under consideration involves the possible use of a bunker-buster tactical nuclear weapon, such as the B61-11, to insure the destruction of Iran's main centrifuge plant at Natanz, Hersh writes.

    But the former senior intelligence official said the attention given to the nuclear option has created serious misgivings inside the military, and some officers have talked about resigning after an attempt to remove the nuclear option from the evolving war plans in Iran failed, according to the report.

    "There are very strong sentiments within the military against brandishing nuclear weapons against other countries," the magazine quotes the Pentagon adviser as saying.

    The adviser warned that bombing Iran could provoke "a chain reaction" of attacks on American facilities and citizens throughout the world and might also reignite Hezbollah.

    "If we go, the southern half of
    Iraq will light up like a candle," the adviser is quoted as telling The New Yorker.

    As you are obviously a very biased an uninformed individual, I'm not going to make this long. I just wanted to state that you should go over to Iraq before making statements you are making. Given, I'm not in agreement with everything, but the Iraqi people certainly do see us as liberators. Try being a soldier one day instead of sitting on your soapbox pretending to know what we see - you have no clue and should not be spitting this rhetoric out to the country. Tell the truth and let Amerians decide. You want to say Bush was wrong for Iraq because of intelligence failures - so be it... those are facts. However, it is NOT a fact that we are seen as occupiers by the people... in fact, it's the complete opposite - a lie.
