Giuliani: Military Action Against Iran Not Off the Table

msnbc.msn.com

Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani went on “Meet the Press” on Sunday to talk about his chances for winning the nomination (he’s ahead in some states) and his stance on several key issues, including the U.S.’s relations with Iran. It looks like he’s still siding with the hawks. When host Tim Russert read Giuliani passages from the recent NIE report and asked if the news about Iran’s nuclear program should remove the option of U.S. military action against Iran, Giuliani quickly said no.

Oh, please! Dumya's going to

Oh, please! Dumya’s going to beat Rudy bar Sinister to Iran. By spring 2008, Dumya and Cheney Vader will have bludgeoned the spineless Dems into stretching our military forces that much more thinly, just to get our fascist imperial military industrial complex into the most coveted oil basin on the planet. Heaven forbid all that Texas tea should not be drained before the little silver spooned tyrant leaves office January 2009. Oil, after all, is Dumya’s legacy. Chimperor Golum will not be denied his Precious! He must have his precious!!! The Dems, like Shillary Clintoon who supported the Dumya’s Iraq attack and the Kyl-Leiberman Act, will see to it that the US can conveniently, albeit pitifully dredge up some pathetically desperate excuse to bomb another sovereign nation in another effort to once again placate the spoiled pinhead.

Whatever Cheney Vader has on these blue dog cowards in his undisclosed location must be mighty good. The Rethugnicans own these bought-n-bastardized centrist tools!

With any luck, Bernie’s indictment and inevitable conviction will snatch rotten Rudy down by his scrawny neck long before the Dems can shoot themselves in the foot, placing the least electable, very unlikable Shillary on the ticket.

I think Guliani prefers the

I think Guliani prefers the Scarlett O’Hara types considering his “escapades”:

Scarlett: “Fiddle-dee-dee. War, war, war. This war talk is spoiling all the fun at every party this spring. I get so bored I could scream. Besides, there isn’t going to be any war.”

Hmmm....what do you make of that?

For some the mouth is ahead of the brain.

In this particular case, he has got his head stuck up his ass.

Rudy is off the map

Rudy is off the map unless he comes up with something new. Attack Iran?? That’s been proven to be useless. Get up to date, Rudy, or be labeled as an out-to-lunch, ignorant buffoon. Hey, wait-- you already are!!

I think he meant if

I think he meant if he can spare troops that are guarding any of his mistresess.What a great way to start negotiations.If you do not see it our way we will invade.If you claim that these people are all nut jobs who want to strap suicde belts to themselves and blow themselves up the military option means nothing.If you think you can negotiate with them you negotiate with them as you would with any other nation.When the chimp in charge got over his bellicosity toward North Korea and actually got down to negotiations we got a workable deal.Big difference in these negotiations is oil.Either let us negotiate to steal your oil or we will take it.As we did when we installed the Shah.By the way I doubt Giuliani’s kids will be anywhere near the frontlines in our continuing petro wars.Your kids no problem my kids no way.

Rudy is a George Bush

Rudy is a George Bush clone gone horribly wrong. Somewhere the genes were damaged but went undetected and viola! Here he is. Rudy is a worst case scenario who has escaped the lab that created him. Somebody grab a net!

I have yet to hear anything good about Rudy even from Pat Robertson.

He is proof polls are manufactured.
