 Was Bush’s Offer to Iran Designed to Fail?Posted on Jun 1, 2006That’s the provocative question posed by this N.Y. Times article. “It became obvious to Mr. Bush that he could not ... consider military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites unless he first showed a willingness to engage Iran’s leadership directly over its nuclear program and exhaust every nonmilitary option.”

War with Iran? I could only support it if the Bush/Cheney/Bolton coalition lead the troops and provide the cash for it.

DUHhhhhhhh…..! This is so, so dangerous. This whole war on “terror” is really turning into a nightmare of significant proportions. There is chronic and severe collective insanity working here for us. The Chinese and the Russians must be delighted. The Germans and the French as well, we are walking into the lion’s den with a piece of bacon wrapped around our necks. I can not possibly believe that the American people are willing to consider any more military actions, anywhere, for any reason… But it’s going to happen, I think that we all know that. We seem to be snarled in a spider web what are we going to do…? Take a swim in some quicksand… This is truly insanity… Please someone, WAKE ME UP…!

You can bet your bottom dollar on it and they want that too. Our dollars that are paying for the tax cuts are just like the oil fields under the Middle East sand—if they won’t give it—Bush-Cheney and Co. will take it, with their “all options are on the table.”

This is probably the fork in the road.

The NPT guarantees Iran’s inalienable right to produce and use fissile materials. The Decider, or course, has the inalienable right to ignore all treaties. (Remember, he referred to UN resolutions as “those stinking resolutions.”) Rice’s latest proclamation is merely a re-wording of what Bush has been threatening all along.
