The Republica...There is one thing we can hope for. The Republicans in Congress still have their asses to save, and they don't want another ruinous war with Iran, no matter how much they endorse saber-rattling. They will restrain the President. Remember Harriet Miers (Supreme Court). Bush isn't in control of everything. And our allies aren't on board. Bush/cheney also not bright. They can be outmaneuvered, as they were by the release of the national intelligence estimate on Iran last Fall.The Law Talking Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886791396468512490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-17358936263356354852008-07-03T10:13:00.000-07:002008-07-03T10:13:00.000-07:00Nope.

This Administration eschews any information that it doesn't want to hear. It attacks and vilifies the nay-sayers and moves ahead. It is even more dangerous now because Bush is not up for re-election. So there is nothing holding these guys back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-51332357473465652972008-07-02T15:54:00.000-07:002008-07-02T15:54:00.000-07:00I heard about the official history of the Iraq War...I heard about the official history of the Iraq War the other day on Fresh Air (not too long after the Hersh interview). The Colonel (can't remember his name) was blaming a lot of Generals for not standing up to the administration--do y'all think this will have any effect in this situation??Tony Grenneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08790466292723465347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-52153531708003996092008-07-02T09:03:00.000-07:002008-07-02T09:03:00.000-07:00Military circles are looking for an "October Surpr...Military circles are looking for an "October Surprise". The military is strongly against esclation. It would be totally counter productive. But this may turn out to be another "Cheney war". Iran has threated to close down the Gulf, thereby stopping oil, if any aggressive move is taken against Iran.

Very interesting ...Thank you for the link, USWest! Very interesting article. Disturbing. I hope you are wrong about sparking an armed conflict with Iran if Obama wins... Before I read this article, I would have bet heavily against it. Now I am not quite so sure...Dr. Strangelovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14407042105777411150noreply@blogger.com
