[misanthrope]

of possible interest: a friend who works for a DOD contractor has let it be known that, according the the orders they are presently getting from Washington, be prepared for another military mobilization this summer. He postulated possible targets as Syria or Saudi.

1. i don't buy it

I think the administration's paralyzed. If he does this even Eagleburger has said Shrub's toast.

3. I too feel the way you do.......

The Bush Administration can in no way muster support for an invasion of anyone, no-one believes them anymore.

10. unless...

..."something happens" to give them seeming legitimacy.

2. No, it's Iran.

I said this earlier in the week.

4. it would be political suicide

but on the other hand, Cheney and his neocon henchmen are just crazy enough to do it.

5. It *MAY* be true

my hubby heard something similar over in Iraq. But he can't say much about it over the phone.

9. With the gas cos hiking prices to stave off less profits predicted for

summer, and with the massive HATE IRAN rhetoric spewing from the white house, which is identical to the lies told about iraq leading to its invasion, I have NO doubt at all, whatsoever, that Iran is being invaded next.

I said earlier in the week, they're shooting for July.

6. Can't be

not that they're not stupid enough to do it, but (1) Saudi is the ally of this administration, and (2) Syria is helping contain (to some extent at least) hizbollah on Lebanese/Israeli border. Unless they think they're chances are so bad in November......

7. Where would we get the troops?

We're already streched too thin in the places we are now occupying.

8. with what troops?

he hasn't got enough to continue in Iraq for the rest of the year.

and, there is NO WAY that the bushies attack the saudis.

no. he'll have to be happy with his two wars for now
