BushCo. Blames More Stuff On Syria! How Long 'Til We Hit Them?

[DistressedAmerican]

With Bush now targeting Syria with all the pressure it can muster, here's another Bush administration claim of "intelligence" indicating Syrian involvement in a bombing in Tel Aviv.

A lot of folks think that we are gearing up for Iran and while I do think they are on the neo-con menu, I think they see Syria as an appetizer.

So let the betting begin. How long (if ever) do you think is will be before the bombs start dropping on Syria?

U.S. official implicates Syrian-based group in Tel Aviv attack
'Firm evidence' cited on Palestinian Islamic Jihad's alleged role
From John King
CNN


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The United States has "firm evidence" that leaders of the Syrian-based Palestinian Islamic Jihad authorized and were "actively involved in planning" Friday's suicide bombing in Israel, a Bush administration official said Tuesday.

The conclusion is likely to add to the pressure the White House already is placing on Syria because of what it considers that country's interference in Lebanon and Iraq.

A U.S. official in Washington said that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was addressing the new information in London, where she was attending a conference on ways to help the Palestinian Authority. (Full story)

that's basically the plan

Quick! Somebody check the PNAC handbook and we'll find out the answer to that question!

4. Checked Out The Website And Oddly It Is Lacking On Syria...

I found lots of material on regime change in Iran but, virtually nothing on Syria? Odd?

5. Maybe...

Three to five weeks?

29. I give it

at least another month before he's beating the war drums.

[in_cog_ni_to]

6. The plan is...

we will attack Syria in June. Mark your calenders. There was a thread on DU a few weeks ago (?) about the idiot-in-chief signing on to a plan for attacking Syria in June. You may be able to find the thread in a search.

[soup]

7. I thought that was Iran?

Scott Ritter? But, I could be wrong.

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. I thought it was Syria because they have no Nuclear capabilities.

I could be wrong too. All this warmongering tends to run together for me.

[Solar]

8. My belief is

bush is basically using public opinion to decide which country to attack first. Iran isn't looking good now so he is trying to paint Syria as a threat too. No matter which country he backs down from, he and his idiots can use it to spout "using negotation."

[BiggJawn]

9. They're on the list.

I *AM* confused now, though....Iran, Syria....Which one's gonna be first, THAT'S the big question, isn't it?

[Disturbed]

11. Iran is not prudent to attack at this juncture.

China and Russia have said: NO!

Syria may be out, as well because Iran may come to that country's defense. With the Bush Junta being insane though, anything is possible.

[BiggJawn]

22. Well, Putin sold missles to Syria, need an excuse to sell more...

So Pooty-Poot tells Damascus, "Pop all you want, we'll make more". Could he know something? After all, the Shrub and him did that "Crawford Mind-Meld" thing...

But to tell everryone "We have NO plans to attack anyone at this time", which was the same bullshit he fed us shortly before dropping bombs on Bagdhad..."Fool me ONCE, Shame on YOU...."

14. Yours fits

the current situation BETTER. lol Actually is, "1,2,3,4, What are we FIGHTING for? Don't ask me. I don't give a damn! I'm off to Vietnam. And it's 5, 6, 7, 8, Open up the Pearly Gate. Whoopee, we're all gonna DIE." Country Joe and the Fish.

Did I get that right? Been a long time.

17. Damn, you're right and thanks for the correction. Not enough coffee, yet.

Thank you!

25. What fun, let's enlist everyone, RB, Will, Nostamj, and all the rest of

the talent around here! Let's go have some fun! I think Hightower said it, no, I don't "think", I know he said it. Paraphrasing, We are going to put the Party back into Politics, damned the Democrats the Republicans and all the rest, the Progressive Party is coming back. It was at the first Rolling Thunder Event, launched in Austin, Tx in March/April of 2002. We had a table for the Green Party of Dallas, and all of the Reps we had running that year, we (my husband and I), were also representing www.reclaimdemocracy.org We'd spent an afternoon with Jeff in Boulder at Christmas at his home. It was an awe inspiring day.

All about corporations and original charters in the beginning of this democracy and how "corporations" were held accountable until the year they, The corporations were granted "personhood".

If we start to pass this information out, we are going to change this world.

GO THERE NOW! WE CAN TAKE IT BACK!! But, it is up to us, let's go meet with GrannyD, shall we?

What's that spell ?

FISH!
What's that spell ?

FISH!

Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on generals, let's move fast;
Your big chance has come at last.
Gotta go out and get those reds —
The only good commie is the one who's dead
And you know that peace can only be won
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Huh!

Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow,
Why man, this is war au-go-go.
There's plenty good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,
Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
They drop it on the Viet Cong.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on mothers throughout the land,
Pack your boys off to Vietnam.
Come on fathers, don't hesitate,
Send 'em off before it's too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box.

And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

The "Fish Cheer" at the beginning of the tune was a bit different at Woodstock:

Gimme an F
Gimme a U
Gimme a C
Gimme a K
What's that spell!

15. 1-2-3 What are we fighting for..

don't ask me, I don't give a damn

well, there ain't no time to wonder why
whoopee! we're all gonna die!

How can they use the same script again and get away with it?

few years. Are "Americans" just this stupid? I'm at a loss and suffering from a serious depression over all this.

[FreedomAngel82]

31. Oh sad

*sigh* And I remember Rumsfeld going on shows and saying they knew EXACTLY where those WMD's were. Baghdad. Were they there? Nope. So let's move them to Syria!!

[LynnTheDem]

34. They can't try the "moved em to Syria" trick now.

bush & cheney & both bush's hand-picked rethug ISG weapons inspectors have admitted Iraq HAD NO WMD SINCE 1991 and NO CAPABILITY to make any since 1991.

Kinda tough for Iraq to have sent non-existant "WMD" to Syria.

[DistressedAmerican]

36. Good Point! Glad To See That Lie Predismissed

On the other hand,
Just maybe, intelligence suggests that they have their own independent program. It was good enough last time.

[LynnTheDem]

37. Just because bush has admitted Iraq had no "WMD" since 1991 tho

doesn't mean he won't turn around and lie. Not like the rethugs would know the difference or the "liberal media" would call him on it.

The other half of America and the rest of the entire world would know it's a total lie and that the rethugs are the stupidest MFers on the planet still...but we & the world know that already.

Syria! Iran! (Don't look behind that curtain!) Syria! Iran! (Don't look behind that curtain!) Syria! Iran! (Don't look behind that curtain!)

Corporations, already limited in liability, are made more immune to class action suits, suits that address their most widespread abuses.

Bankruptcy laws are being rewritten to make it less possible for impoverished individuals to be relieved of burdensome debt, and easier for corporations to do so.

Veteran support programs are being gutted while privatized (corporate) spending is being increased.

The media has become a propaganda organ for the corporatist regime - a wet dream for Joseph Goebbels - where frauds like Gannon/Guckert are enriched while the only slightly right-of-center news-people like Dan Rather are being savaged by lies and slanders.

The federal piggy bank is being pillaged, poor people are being raped economically, and the regime fiddles while Fallujah burns.

[tex-wyo-dem]

26. It's not the US who will attack Syria...

it's Israel with Lebanon backing.

Codeliezza just got done stating that there's "firm evidence" that Syria was directly tied to the suicide bombing in Israel, and Syria has already been blamed for the assassination of Lebanon's PM. This is basically creating the idea that one sovereign nation (Syria) attacked two other sovereign nations (Israel and Lebanon), which would support the idea that these countries now have the right to attack back to protect their people and interests.

edit: correct spelling

[DistressedAmerican]

27. I'm inclined to think that with the peace process supposedly moving

that WE prefer to be the hammer.

[FreedomAngel82]

32. So that way

our people don't have to do any work and then BushCo can swoop in and claim victory and be the hero. :eyes: "Let's go start a civil war with other countries." God these people make me sick.

[DistressedAmerican]

39. And What Do You Have Against Killing For Personal Profit?

It is a time honored tradition. Sadly, if history tells us anything, they will get away with it and them get credit for visionary foreign policy (in our history books anyway).

[FreedomAngel82]

28. Here we go again

*sigh* Here we go again with all this. And Bush has said "I think the intelligence I get is darn good intelligence." And he was wrong about Iraq. :\ So why should we trust him about this? Why should more of our military men/women die because of his lies?! :argh:

[DistressedAmerican]

33. GREAT FREAKING INTEL!

[neverforget]

35. Has he blamed Syria for his Social Security plan not being popular?

[2diagnosis]

40. As long as Hillary supports * on his empire building,

and oil grabbing, they wont stop until we have control of all the oil fields in the Middle East.

[DistressedAmerican]

42. Not Just Hillary. A Whole Bunch Of The Party's Appeasement Wing!

[Pepperbelly]

41. Don't knee-jerk against the facts ...

Syria has been a bad actor for a long, long time. In Lebanon, in Israel, even with Jordan at times. I do not favor anything military with them but quanantining them would not be a bad thing.
