Scott Ritter on Farias
Ritter does feel Fallon was forced out and with Cheney now out there with no one to talk against him we could end up in an Iran attack .

This does not sound very good at all .

I don't know if anyone heard the segment today but it does sound pretty bad .

4. Yes, I heard it.
But, I cannot believe they will go ahead with it.
If an Iran attack goes ahead, the price of fuel with go through the roof.
Russia and China will not be happy.
It could be the end of America, democratically.

7.  I don't think this admin cares one bit >
If they did then look at what has happened to jobs the economy and everything else they have done .

They are safe if the economy collapses and simply just don't care .

If the past 7 years is not proof of this I don't know what is .

8. I think it's actually even worse than that. My thoughts are that this Administration...
has specifically targeted the middle class to destroy it.

9. absolutely , and forget about the poor
They are pushed to the point of being invisable and expendable .

This is why I know the upper class and this admin and the corporations just don't care what the result of an attack on Iran will result in .

They have everything they need to get through the worst of times and one main goal is to reduce the population . We look at things like healthcare and all other social safety nets vanish as if was by accident and it was not .

11. I don't know if there's any connection but I have my Selective Service yearly training
scheduled in April. Seems a little early to me. I guess I'll find out what is going on then.:shrug:

12. I would not put it past Bushco to take us to war in Iran, BUT...
Edited on Wed Mar-12-08 08:07 PM by adsosletter
...it may simply be a matter of Bushco wanting to up the saber rattling against Iran, and Fallon's public stance interferes with that plan.

Or not.

The older I get the higher my threshold of surprise gets... :(
