7. Iran is between bush and the Caspian Sea oil and all that oil
Edited on Thu Aug-26-04 11:25 PM by alfredo
and natural gas up in the 'Stans.

On edit

Iran has oil, but it is heavy crude which is more expensive to refine.

8. the logic
Bush has been real smug----he dosent seem to be bothered about the prospect of loosing----reason, him and Rove have got something planned if all dosent go well before the election----scare the pants off the amercian public----at this point, the attitude is ---we cant vote for Kerry, its a national crisis now and we have to stand by the president------does that sound reasonable????

11. If you check out Bev's thread on BBV right now.....you'll KNOW why
bush is so smug.

It has also occurred to me that the thread explains why the media has the PHUCKING NERVE to try to tell people that bush and Kerry are "TIED" (polling) in California.

If we can use the COURTS and the ELECTION OFFICIALS to stop BBV, THEN we can wipe the smirk off that arrogant sumbitch that is occupying the oval office!!!

10. If it deals with anything...
My guess would be a "pre-emptive strike on 'illegal' Iranian nuclear facilities". Won't be North Korea b/c remember that they were just thrown in so that the entire Axis of Evil wasn't Muslim (also consider recent plan to reduce South Korean troop presence). Iraq and Iran are the real two targets here and the huge pipeline project will be complete. Remember the pipeline Micheal Moore showed in Fahrenheit 9/11? Well, they have to get through Iran if they are to ever have it hook up to the Persian Gulf, and ultimately the Mediterranean Sea. To reach the former, they only need Iran. To reach the latter they need syria. But getting Syria is meaningless without having first gotten Iran. Iran is also generally considered an "enemy" nation anyway, so its an easier sell to the idiot public.
Those are my thoughts on it anyway.
