I feel like we are teetering on a knifes edge
From what I gather so far we have the dems in control of the house trying to get through the first 100 hours and then onto other issues where they they will then involve the repubs . Also they will begin to investigate the entire endless pile of crimes acted out over the last 12 years .

Then I look at the bush admin and here I see the neocons and a shift in positions within the executive party with the Iraq mess going on and in the back ground we have Israel just burning to attack Iran and the US sending fleets to the gulf .

Now this seems to be the balance between some hope this will be stopped or the complete opening for WW III .

I know there are many who feel we will never attack Iran but I have to still sit here and wonder how this will turn out . So far it looks like no matter who in any branch of the government or military feels this escalation is the wrong move that bush is not listening and there does not seem to be anyway of stopping him from going on with his plans , well his and the force who backs him whom ever these freaks may be .

Some how I feel rummy is still involved even though he has been fired , this is something we will never know just like how Kissinger is still behind all the ongoing mass murder .

I feel the dems must know what is going on here but there seems there is no way they can stop this Iran thing from turning into another nightmare . Does it to you seem like this is bushs way of fouling up the new democratic takeover ?

1. You know
I don't think the Dems or even many of the Republicans can predict what * is going to do next.

Reason being I remember the press conference with James Baker after the Iraq Study Group report was published. He tapped his temple when talking about *. Just seemed like a giveaway that they didn't really understand *.

2. How to keep the Dems off page one
A second a carrier was deployed to the Gulf in December, and with the Navy taking command of the war in Iraq, I'm wary of any blather fomenting from any pipe dreaming MSM, or any barbarian Republican, or any born again fork tongue, or from anyone who takes any message from the Decider and his fraud-riddled minnions as truth. These human-racist pigs are absolute fornicators of truth; to take them seriously in any form other than for the harm they do the entire world lends aid and comfort to these traitors. Oh, sure, they are serious and their work product does touch all us, but nothing coming from their brimstone mouths has ever been the truth.

My thinking tells me the surge is coming by way of full blown naval warfare with Iran. If I were a Sunni or Shiite civilian, I'd ask the Kurds for forgiveness and go live with them. There'a a major offensive in the making, and its tsunami is gonna hurt bunches of heartland folk here and there.

5. Nope, don't see it that way at all.
Who knows how things will turn out?

One of my old grandmothers used to say, "Don't borrow trouble."
