Fox has Iran war plans, anime-style.
Up late last night, as Fox goes through the scenarios for our attack on Iran, that is, surgical strike on nuke stations, all out-war, and another I can't quite recall.

Thanks to the magic of computer generated animation, I was thrilled to see all three scenarios work perfectly. I saw cartoon missiles take off from ships in the cartoon Persian gulf and land on the nuke site and--it disappeared. I saw cartoon tanks roll over Persian defenses. I all but saw cartoon mullahs with their hands up.

And that's how you sell a war. Envision Victory and bloodless, fake battles. No smell of charred flesh, no destroyed cities, no dead children, no cost, and most of all, victory.

1. Everyone knows how the * administrations plans work
like clockwork. After all, they were right about being greeted as liberators in our last adventure.

2. Like 'Clockwork Orange'? Somehow I saw that adventure as a fiasco..
I guess it's impossible to 'fine tune' without a 'plan' or 'clue'..

North Korea up next? Round and round it goes, where it stops, nobody knows!
Maybe we can kill everybody at once! Won't that be a feather in the Emperor's hat!

4. That's because Bush needs to invade SOMEBODY
according to all conventional wisdom. It's just a question of who.

His detractors say it's some oil country or another palooka so's he can get his numbers up.

His supporters say it's some bad country because the Bush doctrine means we invade whenever anybody could conceivable be a danger and they are BAD.

The only thing we agree on is that Bush wants to invade somebody.

6. Well he is polling 45% or lower
so the past 4 years has shown only one way to bump the polls. TThat is starting a war somewhere.
