If an attack on Iran is ridiculous.

[rwork]

How can it still be on the table?

2. When some people lie . . .

they stare real hard at you. That's their 'tell', but they think it makes them look truthfull. Watch W when he's saying that - he stares real hard at somebody off camera for several seconds - like "Dare to call me a liar"

3. An immediate attack is a low probability event

Not saying it couldn't happen--particularly if the Bush Adminsitration concludes they have as much support as they are likely to get. But the higher probability is for them to try to sell it for a year and attack spring 2006. We'll see what happens--they could very well be in the early stages of planning this war. But they might decide tehy can't do it without more international support or a draft (the first being unlikely, the second politicall unviable (at least right now)).

6. If It Would Be A Rediculous Thing To Do, Sir

That is the surest indication these reptiles will actually do it....

7. My theory......

Israel will attack nuclear facilities in Iran. Iran will launch a counterstrike against Israel. The US will 'defend' Israel by attacking Iran.

8. Because our fearless leader speaks out of both sides of his ass.

9. "It's ridiculous but all options are on the table"

So, does that mean Bush engages in discussion of the ridiculous and plans policy around ridiculous talk?

[fob]

10. No. what he said was the idea that "people are SAYING" a US attack

on Iran is ridiculous, not that an ACTUAL attack would be, or that there won't be an actual attack.

11. Watch What Shrub Does Not What He Says

[Colorado Blue]

12. I think he's trying to look scary. Which he is.

[porphyrian]

13. The more they keep on the table...

...the less likely you are to see their actual agenda.
