Bush is taking a page from the Hamas playbook.
Edited on Thu Jan-11-07 10:16 AM by gatorboy
When Hamas kidnapped the soldiers from Israel, it was done purposely so Israel would bring the fight to them The logic being, if Israel started to attack Lebanon, the people would unite and fight back.

Now we hear that US forces have stormed an Iranian consulate:

Bush's logic being that if we egg them on, Iran will have no other choice but to become aggressive, giving us no other choice but to attack. And the American people, he hopes, will go along for the ride.

You have to remember that Bush is part of the Left Behind crowd. The only way these fools think they'll get to heaven is if it gets WORSE in the Middle east.

1. "Iran Held Hostage: Day 1"
Wonder if that's running as a banner headline on Iranian news programs today?

2. Good comparison
Both are terrorist organizations, except one is in charge of the United States.

Boggles the mind.
