57. Unbelievable idiocy
Edited on Sat Jan-15-05 09:03 PM by Horse with no Name
I was in Phoenix over the holiday and as I was driving in they were talking about this very thing on the AAR there.
It was speaking of a "Plan for Iran" that Bushco has adopted.

>>>snip
Specific elements of a new U.S. policy, according to the paper, would include:
- A major policy address by Bush that would pledge to "reconnect with the Iranian people, to help the vast majority of Iranians who want democracy to achieve it ... to assure their security in return for not acquiring nuclear weapons and to help develop their economy";
>>>>snip
- Making clear that Washington will not accept Iran's possession of nuclear weapons and will back that up with force, presumably unilateral, if necessary;
>>>>snip
- Developing relations with the military and various other security services in Iran in order to undermine the regime's "pillars of support," and marshaling evidence for a legal case against Khamenei for indictment in an appropriate tribunal;
>>>>snip

Now where have we heard this language before?
It is sickeningly familiar, except with the major difference that Iran is closer to being a first world country than Iraq was being a third world. Iran is very close to becoming a superpower and there isn't any way in hell that Buscho is going to tell them what or how to do their business. Newsflash...they don't want our brand of democracy. Iran's government is representative of the country--it is not weak. Our country's military is stretched to the bone and there isn't any way that we can win this conflict if he starts it.
Herr Chimperor is going to create armageddon if he attempts to step in on this one.
