Imagine if Nixon had started talking about invading China...--> Iran/Syria
in the middle of the Vietnam War.

The Bush Administration is just being stupid. They're STILL sabre rattling, and we're coming up behind them with a possible impeachment. They've got an extremely serious situation on their hands, and they're trying to start ANOTHER one.

They'd better just shut the hell up. Attack IRAN? They are WELL ARMED. Shut the FUCK up, you IDIOTS.

Along with constantly reminding people that this is BUSH's WAR.

“The Crazies Are Back”: Bush Sr.’s CIA Briefer Discusses How Wolfowitz & Allies Falsely Led the U.S. To War

Wednesday, September 17th, 2003

Former CIA analysts Ray McGovern and David MacMichael accuse President Bush of waging the Iraq war based on a series of lies, discuss the unprecedented pressure that VP Dick Cheney put on the CIA before the invasion and call on CIA analysts and agents to come forward with information that will reveal the lies of the Bush administration.
·Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst.
·David MacMichael, former CIA analyst.

... RAY MCGOVERN: Well, when Wolfowitz prepared that defense posture statement in 1991, where he elucidated the strategic vision that has now been implemented, Jim Baker, Secretary of State, Brent Scowcroft, security advisor to George Bush, and George Bush said hey, that thing goes right into the circular file. Suppress that thing, get rid of it. Somebody had the presence of mind to leak it and so that was suppressed. But now to see that arise out of the ashes and be implemented. while we start a war against Iraq, I wonder what Bush the first is really thinking. Because these were the same guys that all of us referred to as ‘the crazies’.
