Things are looking SO grave on SO many fronts for those in "power." Does this mean war?
I mean, really.

War, or a major domestic terror event.

take your pick.

If the media start doing their job (they may be forced by Waxman, Conyers, Leahy, etal), by merely reporting what comes out of congress, what choice do they have?

anybody else wondering about that?

1. TERRA!!! TERRA!!!
I'm thinking terror event. Looks like the latest excuse to attack Iran has just about fizzled out, what with the Iranians and the British acting like peace loving adults and all.

2. I had this discussion earlier in the evening.
I think yes. While it may look like the worst possible time for war I believe that's a symptom of its imminence.

5. Exactly- they have *always* done exactly the wrong thing at precisely the worst moment.

3. I think so, yes. If you take all their past behavior into account.
They *always* charge. That's their only tactic: attack. That's how they respond to every criticism, every argument- attack, attack, attack. Push, push, push.

4. Their last resort is a domestic terror attack or an attack on an Iranian target
Because it would be a short bump followed by a HUGE outcry. But, I do wonder, watching the clock tick on their opportunity in Iran and their actions getting daily hearings on the Senate floor when they will do something desperate.
