This is exactly the reason why any country would want a nuclear bomb, because of “evil” nuclear threats such as these by the United States government. I’m sure we are sending the correct message to the Iranian regime now about stopping their nuclear program, in fact if that was me I would double its nuclear speed with such contradictory and illogical threats. What are we doing to the world?, have we done anything actually beneficial for any country besides harming and destroying them under the slogan of “democracy”. This is crazy. This is immoral.

In less than 6 months the United States will drop an atomic bomb on Iran. The shock of this action will stun the entire world. Condemnations will arrive swiftly from allies and ememys alike. A wave of violence not seen in history will engulf Iraq as Iran mobilizes for war. Debate will begin in Congress as to whether it was necessary to open the nuclear box. The president will assure the public that his actions were proper and authorized by Congress in the same way that the Iraq war was authorized. Many nations will close their embassies in the United States in protest. Iran will begin pouring hundreds of thousands of troops into Iraq. Sunnis will be slaughtered. Men, women and children. The U.S. armed forces will have no choice but to continue to deliver nuclear weapons to Iran. Within 12 months 50% of the oil fields in the middle east will be radioactive and the price of oil will soar to $300.00 a barrel. Gasoline supplies will be non existant. The U.S. economy will collapse and millions of people will be thrown out of work. Hundreds of thousands will loose their homes and possesions. Homelessness will be the standard of living for all the poor and most of the middle class. Crime will soar. Police will be layed off due to the decline in tax revenue. The president will declare martial law across the nation and use the military to enfore order. Thousands will be imprisioned and accused of domestic terrorism. They will get no lawyer. They will get no trial. The president will delay the 2008 elections due to the world wide panic. Christians all across the globe will declare ‘End Time’ and party like there’s no tomorrow. The world will officially end on February 17, 2009.

This Administration has once again done the only thing they are good at, (other than taking us to wars, spending money and lying). Whenever a truth starts to become known and talked about by the media, they quickly come up with a more easily followed story to have the media focus on. A story which titillates us. This time they really had to come up with a story which would scare us. Big enough that we would forget the biggest story about this Administration.
Report thisThe Prosecutor in the “leak of Plame name investigation” was finally coming home to roost. Mr. Bush & Mr. Cheney were in trouble. What to do? You couldn’t use the terrorist alert anymore, they had used that one too often. Nobody believed that anymore. You can only have Mr. Cheney shoot a man once to get a story off the front page. Oh, let’s bring up our going to war with Iran....but it needs to be bigger than that. Many people had been writing about that on the internet. What then? Nuclear Weapons....that will do it.
I doubt that many Generals would follow the order to go nuclear. But it still scares the s**t out of me.
It worked. Nobody is talking about the fact that Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney lied to a Federal Prosecutor. Which is a felony. A High Crime/Misdemeanor. That my friends is Impeachable Act.
The American people really are able to focus on two or more subjects at a time. We need to demand that our media tells us more than one story at a time! That they keep their eyes on the important subjects.
See these articles on this subject.

And all the while these two arrogant, puffed-up blowhards scratch and claw at each other like a couple of cocks in a Tijuana back-alley, oil prices skyrocket and teenagers blow up Israeli falafel stands. Each is serving the others need.

re. this quote: “We want to solve this issue diplomatically and were working hard to do so, Mr. Bush told reporters in the Rose Garden.
I think that’s a lie. I don’t think they’re working diplomatically. Rather, they’ve set the April 28th date as an ultimatum and I think we’re in the “threat phrase” not the “diplomatic phase”. Where is the loyal opposition on this band of criminals? After World War III is well started, will the Democrats then wring their hands and say, “Had we only known ...” WE KNOW NOW BASED ON PAST PERFORMANCE.
