Is Phase One of the Iraqi Invasion Already Cast in Concrete?

Phase One of Iranian Mission Completed…


Is the Iranian game already in play?

Ask yourself this: Is the mechanism for our intervention already there?

The rationale for going in and bombing the Persians back to daylight?

I asked myself this question when I realized that the supervisors of the inspection boat, filled with English sailors, might have been set up to clearly move into Iranian waters.

Certainly, we knew it would provoke the Iranians; but did we do it purposely so that we now had the excuse to go in an help our allies.

This would all seem very legitimate in the way the Iranians played along as we knew they would.

If our intent is to rescue the “hostages,” it could be the desired trigger that would allow us to knock out their nuclear facility.

But most importantly, it would be a strategic move designed to keep Bush popular with his base; it would distract Americans from the failures not only in Iraq but in Afghanistan, too, and it would keep the republicans in business….

It is a cynical statement but judging from what’s happened in the past, not outside the realm of reason for this administration where you need to match cynicism with cynicism.

Remember, according to the last NYTimes poll, 75 % of Republicans support Bush’s aggressive behavior to wipe out “terrorism.”

Good bye, Democracy; Hello, stupidity!
