Meanwhile, for more than a year, 'lil Kim in N. Korea was not only mocking the US by informiing us of its nuke progress every step of the way, it actually threatened us on several occasion while Bush sat back and played whack-a-mole with Hussein. North Korea knows the US won't attack because it would bankrupt half the western hemisphere just for the humanitarian aid that would be needed after an attack, let alone reconstruction costs (and associated Halliburton kickbacks). But they do need to worry about Japan. The US won't attack Iran either because it would cause a firestorm of hate in the ME, effectively starting WW3. I'm thinking he needs a successful military action as a smoke-and-mirror parlor trick to take away from the muliple failures in Iraq. There isn't enough military reserve left to invade an empty field. What he's doing is talking about boosting the number of troops. But it's all talk because he knows it will never make it past the first step on the hill, and he's doing it with the intention of laying blame on the Dems after it doesn't pass Congress. Pelosi -just- figured this out (gawd she's slow) and is loosely supporting the troop increase (calling his bluff), so the Shrub may water down that plan in the coming weeks. What you -will- see or hear, on or before the SATU address, is big talk of a big terror plot in the US that was supposedly foiled by "the tools that were given [in the Patriot Act] to combat terrorism". It will either be announced in the speech or leaked to the press (FNC). At least that's my prediction. For starters, I don't think our autistic leader has enough brains to be running the country. Most likely it's Cheney and Rumsfeld pulling the strings from behind the curtain -- the Bible's got nothing to do with it. Oh, I agree with you. It's just another item he uses to pander to a certain block of voters. And it ain't working anymore. McCain is flopping around like a fish out of water because he can't take the Bush route and has no idea how to establish a voting base. I'm expecting to see Hilary make a play for Bush's abandoned conservative base -- it's the only chance she has to beat Edwards (a Gore/Edwards ticket? Hmmm....) It's clear now that Iraq was about oil. Saddam was unloading huge amounts of cheap crude on the market despite the UN sanctions (and, in many cases, right through the UN). The result was lower crude prices and lower profits for US-aligned oil companies. Now that the war has killed oil production in Iraq, the crude prices are up and so are profits -- at record levels. It seems to me like we discussed this a few years ago. If memory serves me right, I'm pretty sure you predicted (oil) price manipulation right around the time Lee said Iraq may be to blame for 911. Bush & Co. have the price of oil pretty well under control. The fiasco in Alaska didn't shake the price, and neither did the announcement of OPEC production reductions. What you are likely to see in the next year or so is a brief reduction in the price of crude, to say around $40-45/bbl, which will be just enough to justify the outsourcing of refinery operations to foreign countries, while at the same time putting a damper on Democratic plans to implement a policy/legislation for transparency in international oil markets. Unless we have another Katrina..... Between OPEC, Chavez, and the US/UK consortium, there's no such thing as a free-market economy when it comes to energy. It's all a sham, just like the "reasons" for invading Iraq. The Dems have their dirty little fingers in it, too; just look at how much oil money was spent on Dems in the last election. No doubt, many were involved, but check out "Project Bojinka." It's one of those things that makes you ask , "WTF?" Try "Evening in Byzantium" by Irwin Shaw. And I'm sure Bush was happy with the swift execution of Saddam. Now that Rumsfeld has been charged with war crimes, he may be tried in absentia where Saddam could have been called as a witness. Wonder if he had time to convey his memoirs to anyone? A pic is worth a thousand words,,, http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...Rumsfeld&hl=en If the link doesn't work, go to google video and type in "Hussein" and "Rumsfeld." I think you posted that a few years ago. I keep it in the same directory with the pic of Bush41 chatting happily with Noriega. That would have been bad for a whole lot of Republican operatives going all the way back to the Reagan administration. But then again, maybe Bush & company are a bunch of kooks that are actually -trying- to initiate the apocolypse..... ever watch that TV series "Millenium"? Anyway, the majority of Bush-loving "Christians" are hypocrites like N3CVJ. Whatever happened to that idiot? He seems to have disapeared along with any support Bush may have had. I kinda miss the little snot. |
