Starting a war with Iran?

[Conan71]

Agreed.

Bush can try to push off the N. Korea issue onto Clinton and Albright (BTW- the Zucker video is one of the funnier political lampoons I've seen in a long time) all he wants, but this has festered under Bush's watch for almost six years.

Okay, our leader can't be responsible for what every rogue dictator does in some sh!t hole country half-way around the world.  But, what I fail to understand is why we haven't at least sat down with this nut-job and try to humor and pacify him.  Leaving it up to the Chinese and Russians to try to talk this guy down from his tree doesn't make the most sense.

One of Molly Ivins' pieces showed up in the Tulsa World last Wed, Oct. 11... it seems the World has been running here weekly column every Wednesday for awhile now.

Since I just go to the World online, I haven't kept track of who they've been printing in their opinions section...

How long has Ivins' stuff been running there?

Inquiring minds want to know.

The World just runs the ones they find acceptable. Too bad they leave out her best stuff but some of us try to repost them here....

"First word of the Eisenhower's deployment to the Persian Gulf came from angry Navy officers, who contacted military critics of the Iraq war and complained that they were being sent to attack Iran without any order from the Congress."

"Asked why he reversed his opinion, Kissinger responded with some surprise during a brief telephone interview. After a lengthy pause, he said: "They were an allied country, and this was a commercial transaction. We didn't address the question of them one day moving toward nuclear weapons."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A3983-2005Mar26.html

"Naas said Cheney, Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld all were in positions to play significant roles in Iran policy then, "but in those days, you have to view Kissinger as the main figure." Requests for comment from the offices of Cheney, Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld went unanswered. "

I know, old article....but...

How in the hell is Bush going to turn a sow's ear into a purse with North Korea?

The nuclear test was bad news, no matter which way you slice it.

I think the phrase you are looking for is "grasping at straws."

Iranian leader threatens Israel's allies

"His comments came a day after Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warned that Iran would have "a price to pay" if it does not give up its nuclear ambitions — and hinted Israel might be forced to take action.

He did not specifically threaten to cripple Iran's nuclear program with a military strike, as Israel did 25 years ago in        Iraq when it sent combat planes to destroy an unfinished nuclear reactor. But Olmert, en route home from a three-day trip to Moscow, said Thursday the Iranians should "be afraid" of the consequences of their defiance."

Looks to me with armada's in place, one tiny provacation by Iran will cause a major event to take place...

Man, this is rich:
"Senior Bush administration officials wanted North Korea to test a nuclear weapon because it would prove their point that the regime must be overthrown. "

http://thinkprogress.org/2006/10/23/north-korea-nuclear-rooting/

"Rice has been trying to counter the prevailing view that the test was a failure of the Bush administration's policy. "

Where do you find these libtard web sites?  Is there a list in the back of the National Enquirer?

[aoxamaxoa]

I get the links from the same places that first said Bush was a liar. You know, the links you attributed to libtard sites.

The links I provide you are far more educational than your personal attacks.

[iplaw]

Personal attacks?  I think you qualify as the king of those.  I have never seen another person on this board who's posts are more offensive and personal than yours.

They're on back of the Democrat voter registration card.

They are on the backs of the poor, the ignored, the oppressed.....look to the one's who have bailed out of the so called "Compassionate" conservative Christian cause.....their sites can now be called libtard by you because they have disappeared from your minions.

That's right. These sites are developed by those that are truly concerned about the disadvantaged of our country, the oppressed of our world, the powerless. And not to be confused with the sites that put a face on these issues while doing nothing that their religion really wants them to do.

The conservative sites are concerned with tax cuts and creating insecurity and fear.
