I'm becoming convinced Bush wants to START war with Iran to help McCain in November.

title says it all.

1. I seriously think it is more sinister than that... I think he wants to start a war with....

Iran so that he can use it to declare Military rule.

[sinkingfeeling]

4. Sorry, response to wrong post.

[LakeSamish706]

7. That is so true and been my fear ever since we realized that Congress has...

absolutely no control on this Administration. Basically Bush can do anything that he wants to and no one is going to do anything about it.

9. That's what happens when IMPEACHMENT IS OFF THE TABLE!

:mad:

10. I tend to agree with your even more pesimistic take.

But then that may not be necessary.

Despite controlling Congress for the past two year, our leadership, including Clinton and Obama, has not addressed the theft of the last two presidential elections, nor done anything to prevent it happening for a third time.

Why stage an obvious coup when the same goal can be achieved through the electoral process?

2. Yep, too bad the democrats don't control congress

If we just had control of congress we could stop this before it happens.

yes, I am being sarcastic.

6. When I talked to my sister about the Neocons' plans back in late 2003, she kept saying

"the American people won't let that happen again." And I keep asking her how are 'we' or Congress going to stop it? Bush commands the military. If he were to order an invasion or airstrike against either country, Congress and the American public won't even know about until it's a done deal.

17. Congress has been supporting Bush every step of the way

Even after all of the evidence shows differently, they all continue to pretend Iran is a threat.

The "Iran Freedom Support Act" passed quietly but with a huge amount of support including people like John Conyers.

We need to elect a new Congress

3. I think he and his beloved Neocons figure they have to start something with both Iran and

Syria or they won't be even half way through their list (PNAC).

12. the UN is not playing with the US on Syria

US Syria claims raise wider doubts
By Jonathan Marcus
Diplomatic correspondent, BBC News


More than half a year after the Israeli air strike that destroyed the alleged nuclear reactor under construction in Syria, Washington's release of what it says are still images of the facility before the raid amounts to the diplomatic equivalent of throwing a very large rock into a deep pool.

5. That might end McCain's chances. What they want is to control the war

and they cannot do that, it appears.

IRAN is the distraction from the FAILURE!!
The failures are in Iraq and Afghanistan.

If we attack Iran, the US military will NOT be returning to America.
It will end there, aircraft carriers sunken, Green Zone gone, ....

Every nation in the region, except Israel, will be attacking us.
At the end of the day, Israel may no longer exist either.

There is no way to predict the future, just ways to prevent certain possibilities!!

8. he wants to start war with Iran regardless of mccain, and he can do it

without Congressional oversight, since Congress foolishly passed the IWR, which effectively overturned the War Powers Act

[Lerkfish]

11. well, whaddya know, I was prophetic.

U.S.-contracted ship fires toward Iranian boat
At least one shot fired, defense official says; details not immediately known

[dysfunctional press]

18. prophetic how?

:shrug:

[BlueManDude]

13. I'm not sure it would help McCain. 70% of the country is pretty fed up with endless war.

[ladjf]

14. If the American Government allows Bush to do such a treasonous

act, then we deserve the misery that such a move will cause.

[sinkingfeeling]

15. I don't think there's any way for the 'government' to stop the CIC. They won't be advised of the

attack until after it happens.

[ladjf]

16. If that is the case, then the full coup has already taken place.

[dysfunctional press]

19. we've allowed him to steal elections, ignore climate change, wage an illegal war...

we definitely deserve the misery that all of bush's actions in office will lead to for our country.

[ladjf]

20. I just wish that I could understand why Americans consistently

vote against their best interests.
