Give Bush a Sword and Let Him Fall on it. Or, as long as the
POTUS is falling on his own sword, let him. An attack on Iran burns down the republican, power hungry, party.

This past few years of republican control has been all about absolute power and the end of the two party democratic system. Our brave servicemen are being used as tools in this by Bush/Cheney to implement a failed policy. I am sorry for that.

wait to impeach Bush when he has completely impaled himself, the dems can impeach without being hung out to dry for it.

2. The fight over control of our government is being played out in
the mideast, so we don't have to fight for it here.

HEHE!

3. You are wrong
this could easily bring combat troops from other nations to our soil

That is the next to worst case, teh worst case are nukes over US Cities

Of course becoming an isolated rogue state is also up there.

You sure you want to take those risks?

Oh and by the way, he is using our troops to play russian roulette

4. Mushroom clouds here from Iran aren't possible, no demonstrated
capability. Other than the economic havoc they can do with their oil. they will go for a target within reach,i.e., Israel.

what other nations? combat troops or terrorists? There is not another nation on earth with the 'GLOBAL REACH' to put troops on our soil. The Chinese know the stakes for trying to launch missiles here, mutually assured destruction.
The logistics of supplying an armed force overseas are such that we are the only nation in the world that can do it. ( Russia could decades ago, not now)


don't think for a minute I accept what he is doing with the troops, hubby was one for 22 years(ret Lt Col/pilot USMC)

Bus is on a footing that does have to end, preferably he will fall on his own sword.

7. Is Iranian Navy capable of bringing war to US?
Or are you talking about terrorism? Iran openly funds
and supports Hezbollah which regularly fires rockets
into Israeli cities. So, terrorism would not be a new
event for Iran.

8. No what I am talking about is the the rest of the world getting fed
up with the US and it's attempt to control other countries illegally. Other countries will start feeling threatened and would band together to pose a formidable force.

I am not saying this out of paranoia, I am saying if we don't reign these criminals in our Government in the fallout from their actions will be bad.

5. Yes he may fall on his OWN sword...
...but no,he may not take my country with him....I will not accept 10s of thousands more killed (even if brown) and a US inspired mushroom cloud to clear a drunken frat boy's hubris over choosing an outmoded interceptor and half-hearted guard service rather than the true combat experience thrust on folks like my brother, whom afterward have shown more native dignity and compassion than this drunken misfit could ever even comprehend...

6. the point is the dems are not going to stop him until he really does walk off
Edited on Tue Jan-30-07 11:59 PM by caligirl
the proverbial plank, making it 'safe' for them to do so without the post vietnam label once again being applied to dems.

No one accepts the deaths of our troops and the deaths of more Iraqi's at his hands. But if the dems won't stop him unless he steps out there into even greater dangerous policy, we will loose more troops. He has to take that step for them to risk their necks to stop him.One missile into Iran is unacceptable, but it might be what happens before he is stopped.
