[Motown_Johnny]

very few detalis so far

(inside Syria, atleast 8 dead)

So, who guessed Syria instead of Iran?

I must admit I am surprised

1. Bush trying to produce...

a game changing situation for old man McCain...

[FrenchieCat]

2. Last ditch effort from the WH, McCain and Corp. Media to sway the election!

They'd chance going to war to keep their status quo!

3. Surprise! n/t

[FormerDittoHead]

5. Calendar check. October. check. Surprise. check.

I suppose they're looking for Syria (aka where the WMDs were shipped to out of Iraq!) to threaten retaliation...

6. Bush isnt smart enough to see how this could futher destabilize the stock markets

International tensions are deadly to the markets.

Bush the idiot may be creating a further market crisis by trying this stunt to help the GOP, adding to the economic crisis, which only HURTS his party right now.

12. The price of oil should go up though. Good for his buddies nt

7. AP are the ones reporting this. MSNBC is just throwing it out there. ;)

8. PNAC has ALWAYS said that Syria was next.. this is our October Surprise, folks!!

That's why I couldn't figure out why Iran was so much in the news, because the PNAC made it clear with their roadmap that Syria was NEXT. Not Iran.

9. Quick lets send McCain over in a 5th helicopter. n/t
