What will be outcome of Bush attack on IraN?

[yurbud]

[Swamp Rat]

1. All of the above

The ensuing maelstrom will be enormous and intense.

[dailykoff]

2. Immediate extirpation of all US forces in Iraq.

But hey, it would have cost a fortune to ship all that crap back anyway.

[yurbud]

3. extirpation? isn't that when you shit a pencil?

[dailykoff]

6. dunno, never tried it

:hi:

[bananas]

15. wikipedia defines it as "Local extinction"

"Local extinction is where a species (or other taxon) ceases to exist in the chosen area of study, but still exists elsewhere. This phenomenon is also known as extirpation. Local extinctions are contrasted with global extinctions."

4. Lets see do you want a picture?

Does any one remember the story about little big horn?

The facts are this the Shiites are the smallest kids on the toughest block. The track record in Iraq is a military failure caused by the bush administration. The military rotation is to grueling on our troops and the mental demands will be raised to the threat level and will be un-think able for us to understand that will occur once we attack Iran. This will send many over the edge mentally. The many 10's of thousands of shiites trained by the United States will turn on our troops. The private contractors or mercenaries will bail out.

Get the picture

All of hell will break lose

While the chicken CHT president is crying a river because he caused all this CHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yurbud]

5. I forgot that angle. I don't think the Iraqis can turn on us much more than they already have but

adding Iran to the mix will push it past the custer point.

[nealmhughes]

8. If the Iraqis were more organized they would be killing more than 2.5 US service members a day.

We are amazingly lucky the death toll is not higher than it is. An attack on Big Brother where the Ayatollahs go to confab might well send them into an all-out actual war rather than a small scale "pick 'em off when possible and not too much work before lunch" type deal we have going on now.

Nope, it could be much much worse on our boys (and women) stuck in that festering hellhole sine jure.

[Jesse Hemingway]

11. You do not know how many their killing only bush does

In warfare a person wounded accomplishes the same thing as killing them they are off the battle field so revise your number and factor in the wounded.
Do not believe a word this administration is telling us.

[KAT119]

24. The numbers of American (& Iraqis) dead & wounded= all manipulated by

Pentagon to go w/ perpetual 'rosie scenario" of their catastrophic crimes to an innocent sovereign nation.

We will be horrifiedwhen/ if true #'s ever come out--Iraq does not exist any more and millions of refugees are starving in tents in the blazing desert!!

[Jesse Hemingway]

9. Think about this

The United States Military does not even have a clue of who they have been training along with the 200,000 missing weapons. The United States Military could have been training members of the Iranian military they do not know who they have trained that is evident by the missing weapons.

We are so F$KKING over are heads over their it has been totally mismanaged by the George W. Bush. Remember Shock and Awe? so whats the plan again. Iran has 75,000,000 people 3 times as many as Iraq.

They also know what has been going on with the sunnis and the bush administration since 9/11 they know it's all bull CHT. You think Iran has been just sitting on there ass the last 6 years. As they watched the sunnis and the bush administration fly planes into their own buildings.

Knowing that they Iran were going to be manipulated into this F$KKKING nightmare for OIL. If I were in Iran watching this CHT I would be cocked locked and ready to rock because today is a great day to die!!!!

[yurbud]

12. CHT? I do know that our friends the Saudis are providing most of the beheaders and carbombers

[DS1]

7. Voted for the last option

Someone had to

Anyway, the US doesn't have a military they can attack Iran with on the ground. It'll be completely stealth B2/F117 and cruise missiles. A lot of them. Enough to make shock and awe look like a picnic. But not enough to finish the job. It's the same planners behind Iran who were behind Iraq. The net result will be really pissed off people controlling gas prices, and our 'strategic' reserve is already down to something like 20 days.

Oil prices will skyrocket, Exxon/Mobil stock will shoot out the roof.

Then comes the counter-attack.

[RL3AO]

10. I didn't see the "The U.S. won't attack Iran" option, so I abstain.

[Jesse Hemingway]

13. Forgot this valuable piece of intel

This article reveals what is really going on over their it is also an indication of the scope of this god dam mess George W. Bush has put our fellow americans in; while serving in OUR military. Once you read the article you will realize that the focus has never been on protecting OUR fellow americans it is all about fraud. So just because the idiot bush threatens Iran it means nothing just like the last 6+ years nothing a waste.

Our troops are in a very bad place without any leadership.

The Great Iraq Swindle
By Matt Taibbi
Rolling Stone

Thursday 23 August 2007

How Bush allowed an army of for-profit contractors to invade the US Treasury.

How is it done? How do you screw the taxpayer for millions, get away with it and then ride off into the sunset with one middle finger extended, the other wrapped around a chilled martini? Ask Earnest O. Robbins - he knows all about being a successful contractor in Iraq.

You start off as a well-connected bureaucrat: in this case, as an Air Force civil engineer, a post from which Robbins was responsible for overseeing 70,000 servicemen and contractors, with an annual budget of $8 billion. You serve with distinction for thirty-four years, becoming such a military all-star that the Air Force frequently sends you to the Hill to testify before Congress - until one day in the summer of 2003, when you retire to take a job as an executive for Parsons, a private construction company looking to do work in Iraq.

19. I saw that story. incredible. The Bushies are looting the treasury like a drunken biker gang and

the Democrats are investigating whether to give them a parking ticket.

[SlowDownFast]

23. Almost surreal, that article.

Makes me wanna pick up a pitchfork and torch, for real.

Or something else, I won't say...

I am just unbelievably livid after reading that.

[ArkySue]

14. Other

We'll be f**ked. And so will a lot of other people.

[bananarepublican]

18. Maybe... just maybe... peace, understanding, democracy, and free flowing candy will abound! n/t

[shenmue]

16. World War III.

:scared:

[melody]

17. There will be no attack on Iran n/t

[RL3AO]

20. That was my vote to..but no option.

[melody]

27. This has been predicted more often here than the next depression

We live on one planet, like it or not. Islamic and Christian extremists in the streets may well
nuke the world for their "gods", but the cynical politicians that use them are not about to toast their own backsides. If we bomb Iran, it would have to be with the agreement of every major superpower. Ergo, if it did happen, it would unleash nothing more than clucking tongues, but
it's not going to happen.

[Jesse Hemingway]

21. That option would mean that we leave NOW

If we take that option then pack it up no reason to stay think about. Yet everyone like all the current Democratic senators running for president say their going to stay.

All the other candidates including republicans and democrats except *****Kucinich***** say that we are staying. The funny thing is the length of time ranging from 10-50 years. I think to find the truth is to ask exxon how long will it take to pump all the oil out of Iraq then add about 10 minutes to that time frame and will be gone.

[melody]

26. If we bombed Iran, we would HAVE to leave

Our people would be sitting ducks there, on the front line. They can barely
keep up with the pace now.

[SidDithers]

22. It won't happen...

Jeez, the amount of paranoid drum-beating around here is getting ridiculous.

Sid

[Jesse Hemingway]

25. I am sure glad you can trust the lunatic

I guess you been in a coma the last 6 + years; tell me bush will restore the United states Constitution before he or if he leaves office.

[BlooInBloo]

29. The poster's opinion has ZERO to do with trusting the lunatic in chief...

... oh-gratuitous-insulting-one.

[melody]

30. That was a personal attack that wasn't warranted by just expressing a personal opinion

I'm sorry, but he has the right to disagree with you without being insulted personally.

He disagrees with it for the same reason I do -- practical reasons. Bush is NOT a religious
zealot. He's a cynical sociopath using the Christian right. He doesn't give a damn about
Iran, one way or the other, but he's not about to kill himself (and he'd have to come out of
the bunker eventually). Who would carry his golf clubs? Who would mix his drinks? All that
money he has would be useless.

The only way this would happen would be with the implicit permission of all the world governments.

[SidDithers]

32. Ah yes, the "with us or agin' us" dichotomy...

Now, where have I heard that kind of thinking before?

:eyes:

Sid

[BlooInBloo]

28. A lot of dead Iranians. An uptick in dead Americans. Guaranteed war for years.

[Quantess]

31. World War III. (no text)
