Is our preemptive nuking of Iran still a go?
I haven't heard about any updated timetables for this action for a while- I was just wondering what the latest word is on this on again/off again "event". All I know is we seem to have missed the last predicted window...

:shrug:

1. I suspect that if there is to be war, we will simply use conventional bombs and send them...
back to the Stone Age like we did with Viêtnam.

2. But... but... all options are still on the table!!!
We can't limit our response to whatever the rumor du jour may be- don't you wanna WIN this over there so we don't lose it over here???

You obviously hate America.

3. Keep your head up .......
but live your life, in love, and peace from day to day. It took bush like 3 to 4 months before the sanctions were up on Iraq before he took action (shock and awe). Time wise ..... On Iran ...... that would be later this month (May). They (this administration) seem to play by the same playbook on this sort of thing, nothings written in stone. FIGHT and pray for Peace. That is all you can do ..... Peace. :)

4. Well, Bush needs the power to do that, so I hope the option is still on the table.
I mean, when he couldn't get fucking elected, he didn't have enough power so the supreme court gave it to him. When 9/11 happened, it was because he didn't have enough power so the patriot act gave it to him. When the mission accomplished/testicle photo shoot failed to win the war, it was because he didn't have enough power, enough funding so we gave it to him.

and gave it to him again. And again. And again.

And then when Katrina came, we saw how effective Bush was with all his new power. So now, having diplomatic problems with Iran, is there ANY question what we should do? Clearly, we should give Bush more power. We should put nuclear weapons "on the table" so he can play with them....Because God knows, when somebody is given a position of power over something and disaster after disaster happens, that means they should be given yet more power.
