There is a potential problem in Iran. The same potential problem that existed in Iraq before the repubs stole the White House. Actually in Iran, it’s moved beyond potential into the realm of very likely, if not fact.

Which is where it was heading when the Stumped was stumping. Yes, Saddam had the same plan Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has. And it aint about nukes!

Whether or not Bush saw the threat, or the threat was simply whispered in his ear, we may never know. But we do know for sure whoever the whisperer was sure picked the wrong ear.

There is no sane logic behind anything that’s come out of the repub controlled congress and their friend in the White House.  Nothing the bush has done has in any way been good for the country. In fact if one didn’t know better, one might think that was the intention from the beginning. To destroy the country.

Were we to search in vain for any successes coming out of the White House in the past seven years, [has it been only seven?] that would have to be it. One man and his delusional adorers, oops I mean supporters have managed to pretty well destroy everything and anything they have put their minds and hearts too, including the dollar.

Now you and I may not see that as success, but obviously somebody does ... because the complete indifference to the damage caused by this truly psychopathic administration runs so deep and has hurt so many and will take so long to fix ... it cant possibly have been an accident.

I’m talking about the petro-dollar of course.
That’s it you know ... that’s the “potential problem in Iran.”

“Iran stops selling oil in U.S. dollars”

Can it be that simple?
Of course it can.
Name one thing you did today that wasn’t dependent in some way on the oil industry. One thing!

This little tin empire we live in is based on oil, and the petro-dollar. Every thing else coming out of Bushes GWOT, the war profit, the profit that was made from 9/11 was just icing on the cake.

Even so, I doubt if George ever thinks about money. He’s never had to lift a finger to earn, or spend, or even account for money. The big charge, I suspect, is the reflection. George the super star. George the war prezident. George the decider guy. Big George. Bad George. Bold George.

So the whisperer whispered, and watched what he feared might happen, happen. Serves him right for sending an empty vessel to put out the fire.

Because George was appointed and not elected. And improved on the cheating just enough to get that second term without the Supremes meddling. I find I am a victim, as are you, as are the majority of honest hard working citizens in this country who were never dumb enough to vote for that George in the first place! And way ahead of him when the lying started. Actually before he ever put a muddy boot on the White House floor!

And if there is no better reason to damn the dems who promised so much and have delivered so little, let that be it!
How can they see so much and understand so little?

I’m tired of hearing Bush is a liar. It’s not that simple! He’s sick. The kind of sick that needs to be monitored so he cant hurt himself, or anyone else. The compulsive lying is just one of many easily recognized symptoms of this very serious condition.

I’m tired of hearing the Americans are stupid. They’re not. They’ve had this Bush pegged almost from day one! I’m tired of hearing pious and self-righteous indignation from the dems in congress ... every friggen day ... when they flat out refuse to even TALK about impeachment. And most of all, I am damn sick and tired of hearing media know-it-alls explain the madness as though it made sense!

Kripes! If the congressaurs and the media types haven’t got the balls to call a spade a spade they need to go find a job they can handle!

Shoveling shit in a horse barn might be good.

Lets cut of funding to Israel and cancel all their contracts with Amdocs and Infosys until they permit IAEA to check out Dimona and come clean on the rest of their nuclear program.

The folks who gave us the intelligence report are our persons for the week:

SHHHH…..DON’T MENTION THIS….SHHH

While U.S. intelligence agencies have “high confidence” that covert work on a bomb was suspended “for at least several years” after 2003, there is only “moderate confidence” that Tehran has not restarted the military program. Iran’s massive overt investment in uranium enrichment meanwhile proceeds in defiance of binding U.N. resolutions, even though Tehran has no legitimate use for enriched uranium. The U.S. estimate of when Iran might produce enough enriched uranium for a bomb—sometime between late 2009 and the middle of the next decade—hasn’t changed.

“Tehran at a minimum is keeping open the option to develop nuclear weapons,” says the summary’s second sentence.

I wish Bush was as adamant about Israel revealing their nuclear program as he is about Iran and theirs.

I’d like to see the IAEA check out Dimona.

Joe I hope you read the comments on Truthdig because you seem so confused as to why this administration lies us into wars in the middle east.Let me write it slowly o   i   l.Copernicus solved all the riddles about planetary movement when he put the sun into the center of the universe.Joe if you put oil into the center of the Bush universe it will solve the riddles you seem to have as to why Bush and Cheney do certain things in middle east policy.

Mr Joe Conason very rightly said that in pursuit of grandest US ambitions and long cherished notions of military strike against Tehran; the NIE reports bluntly refute the president George W Bush deceitful resolve and rhetoric about “World War III”. Here Israel being in Middle East and having a first hand information and extra ordinary intelligence facilities to know, must also be singled out; that Israel also knew the factual position.

What ever our intelligence reports and assessments say; this is but certain that we need a visionary; a Messiah to come up with some justifiable; a ‘Just system’ in the Middle East and win the hearts and minds of people. Invading the countries or installation of some agents with a bad intent like; Israel etc to bully around and thrusting the policy of extermination of innocent inhabitants, plus terrifying them or make them starved by imposing sanctions and blockages; coercing and tying them into trades bondages; may not be the solution. It may make the heads… bow but that does not mean that it will also bend the minds.
It is God’s design that on this planet earth; today we find the rich, flourishing and technologically advanced economies lying in the west where as their life line…feed (oil) stems from the East. This unique layout of interdependence, dictated by the nature demands that some fair and befitting system such as Barter Systems etc be put in place and be run with all the fairness of business and grace.

Iran may be having its natural ambitions dictated by the lay of its land and century old traditions which maketh it stand as lofty as it could be…as a big brother in the Persian Gulf; over looking and guarding the Arab peninsula. This centuries old status of Iran is very well established and well seated in the local populace and culture; and is duly recognised in the Arab world. Any conquest or adventurism against this may not obliterate it.

America may find Iran on their right hand in negotiating all these aspects with a befitting ‘logic and wisdom’; because logic and wisdom is deep seeded in their souls and soil.

Love for all, Hatred for none

Iran comprises a clear and present danger to the USA when it invades the Emirates, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia in order to steal those country’s oil in the same way we stole Iraq’s oil. Iran also is a threat to Israel’s ability to bully the entire arab world on the strength of its nuclear bombs.

Iran also threatens any US Congressman or Senator who depends on the American Israel Public Affairs Committee for money and votes for his reelection.

There is one more minor item: Liebermann always starts with a “LIE.”

Our preoccupation with Iran is a result of only one thing: it’s about oil. Everything is.

The second verity of the Sam Snedegar algorithm for understanding Bushitter foreign policy applies here also: Bush is a moron. If you know these two verities, all is explained.

(1) It is about oil.
(2) Bush is a moron.

20 bytes each, a total of 40 bytes, (41, if you include the carriage return) and you have a complete explanation of the Bushitter modus operandi with respect to the mideast and also most domestic policy matters as well.

GWB didn’t have any truth to tell by birth. He was born with inpertinence from head to toes and this was his hereditary. Don’t be surprise !
