47. What's scary....
Edited on Tue Oct-09-07 12:44 AM by TwoSparkles
I believe #2.

I don't believe that #1 is valid--even though it is easier to digest that we were
saber rattling. I don't believe in #1, because I believe that Bush and the neocons
are moving full speed ahead with their plans of economic and military domination
in the Middle East--which is outlined in their PNAC plan, right on their Web site.
They don't give a rat's arse whether or not Iran is scared. They wouldn't waste
a second trying to deter Iran or scare them into complying. Iran's noncompliance
is their ticket to more war. If Iran came out and said that their nuclear program
is now tabled, and they'll never touch the subject again--BushCo would have no
impetus for war. Therefore, saber rattling is moot.

As for #2, if they're staging these multiple nukes for bombing in Iran---they must
know that something BIG is on the horizon. Something big enough to justify
nuking a country. Right now, they could not sell going nuclear to the American
people. If Iran doesn't stop enriching Uranium, they might be able to sell
a ground war or some limited "Shock and Awe" to the dullard 30 percent of this
country. They'd have tenuous support for these limited activities! So, to
justify multiple nuclear weapons...we've got a big offensive situation coming
our way and they damn well know it.

That's the big question. That's the one I want answered.

So, what event will happen that will justify our country using multiple nuclear
weapons on another country??????
