What are you going to do when we attack Iran in June...?
Edited on Tue May-09-06 11:07 AM by LeftHander
I suspect you all see the writing on the wall.

I don't know what I will do. But maybe I would go to Washington D.C. and simply take up space.

I don't know what I'll do...but I know my life will change if this corrupt, insane administration goes to war with Iran.

Get ready people there is a train a coming...it's either a peace train...or a one way cattle car...you pick.

40. Judging by the morans
I talked to last night his numbers will never fall to zero. Because all the people we have killed in Iraq deserved it. We are fighting Muslims in Iraq. And if we weren't killing them over there they'd be delivering dirty bombs by the truck loads into the US. These people are too old to be drafted and apparently to disinterested in reality to bother to hate the President who clearly doesn't respect them... why should he.

43. His numbers are dead now
Say his number were zero. Then What? Then WHAT?

bushco, Inc. couldn't care less what the frigging numbers are or what anyone thinks, they know there is nothing anybody is gonna do about it.

45. Then WHAT?
Well...he won't be able to blame it on anybody, but George W Bush, that history will record the fact that he had the lowest marks of any pResident ever and was the worst pResident in the history of our country. His little monkey ass will be toast forever, because he IS, the worst! A hundred years from now school kids will read about the idiot being an idiot...THAT's one What!

Not intended to be pissy with you. I just hope we have a history for him (them/pnac) where it will matter for them to be the worst of.

We're gonna end up so deep in a hole it will take a FDR type new deal four terms to rectify. If ever.

11. I don't have enough energy left to riot
but I will join any strike effort and attend any and all demonstrations. And I'll be there when the busses pull out for DC and I will have phone cards and change and sandwiches for everyone on the bus. We have been talking about this at work and we're ready. I'm saving change.

5. That's sorta bleak don't you think?
Too many people oppose attacking Iran for them to just go against the will of the people.

There will be a major backlash, perhaps enough to get the American people out of their barkaloungers and into their front yards, then they'll have to take a moment to catch their breath, but then they'll really start making noise.

They attacked Iraq when there was to many people and countries that were against the war. No-one stands in the way of this wacko Bush. Remember he thinks "God" speaks to him.

19. polls showed more support for war then, less now
Unfortunately, just prior to the time chimpy invaded Iraq, most polls showed a majority (ranging from high 50 percent to low 60 percent levels) supporting the action. Today, most polls, I believe, show a far lower level of support for military action against Iran.

31. ah but you see they (Bush & Thugs) lied and lied.
Also the media didn't show how many people were out there protesting. Hell I was even called to help out to control the protester and I had been retired from the police for 2 1/2 years. So you see even if the people are against this Bush will do what ever he wants. The man thinks that "GOD" talks to him. There is something very wrong with the dude.

Or something like that. Considering how rational the Bush Regime has been up to this point, I am sure that they have the scenario for how this will play out all figured out. Of course they are wrong, but I doubt they really care anymore. They are collectively insane.

9. For years, I've been predicting that...
For years, I've been predicting that the "terraists" already
have nukes in our country and are just waiting for the ap-
propriate moment to deploy them.

I guess, if we really go ahead and attack Iran, I may get
the chance to find out if I'm right.

But somehow, I suspect that the day we *DO* attack Iran,
both Bush and Dick will somehow manage to be out of D.C.
attending important campaign fundraisers, err, public
forums somewhere nice, safe, and away from any major cities.

12. its not going to happen
the iranians have us by the short hairs.

i'd imagine that his 'base', the .01% of the population that comprises this oilgarchy/oligarchy, will put the kibosh on any action that risks another embargo.

they want us poor & compliant, not destitute & angry.

34. It is based on timing...
And political manuvering by Bush and GOP for the November elections...the GOP cannot possibly persever without a fresh conflict in the middel east. ONce we attack Iran the GOP will call for us to rally behind the flag and president. And true to form...a large umber of people will go along him. Expect another UN "dog and pony" show by Condi "Mushroom Cloud" Rice this time to tip the scales.

These assholes are so predictable and America just keeps letting them do it. And they have no intention of listening to anyone or obeying any law.

Getting some sort of attack going in June will set the stage for troops in fall after GOP/Deibold "wins" elections. There will be a "mandate" of Bush and GOP policy and we'll go full on to troops on the ground war. WWIII. Trouble will be that the U.S. will be all alone on this. We have only our military superiority. But I suspect others will force us into economic disaster in opposition to the War in the Middle East...as it will be called.

Just as was predicted in the Iraq war...and by many here at DU.

35. Ain't gonna happen, though.
They're not even close to laying the groundwork for even airstrikes at this point. And if Bush did it without congressional approval, he would actually be impeached. Of that I have no doubt.

38. Nope wrong....they are convinced they already have approval...
They tie Iran to Iraq insurgency and couple that with the "nukular" threat.

Do few days of high profile airstikes and cuise missles in June and the war begins...and it slowly escalates into war. Just in time for November elections.

In fact the entire Bush administration has been eating nothing but crow for a few yers now on almost every issue but they call it something else of course...they call it Democracy Hubris spread...with Freedom fries...
