1. Ooooh

God, I almost threw up when I read that.

I know that's supposed to be funny, but I don't think it is :(

[marmar]

2. Exactly...

because these days it's all too believable. April Fool's Day isn't so funny when a real fool is the so-called leader of the free world.

[movonne]

6. You are right...these April fool jokes are not funny when every day

we have a fool in the WH...

[MADem]

3. Sources say? Who are you, Rita Cosby???

:evilgrin:

[SPKrazy]

8. (With Grating Raspy Voice) Yeah, I'm Rita!

or whoever you want me to be today!

[RufusEarl]

4. Not funny!

[SPKrazy]

14. Funny for the first day of April, yes it is!

[AndyA]

5. Had me for a second. Then I saw the Bush Tramps...

Of course, a headline like this is actually very possible in this day. Sad.

[SPKrazy]

9. That's What Makes It A Great April Fools "Joke" n/t

[SPKrazy]

7. Yes, I Realize It Is "Possible"

but how likely is it really? Our armed forces are spread so thin that we can't even keep from sending troops on 3 rotations, our military recruiting is down, I believe that Bush would like to attack Iran, but surely his minions know that they don't have the ability to do it.

And to use a nuke on them? Well, that would have to be in retaliation for some provable action against us, or an ally.

I know it is all possible, but I just don't think it's likely.

I think Boosh is painted into a corner on Iran.

I Pray that I'm right though! And, are all April Fools "jokes" supposed to be "funny" in the hilarious way, or are some supposed to make you go "oh shit!", then breathe a sigh of relief that it is just another April Fools Day thing.

Sorry if your heart had palpitations, but I couldn't resist!:evilgrin:

Feeling very evil today!

10. From the day that the Iranian Govt. claimed to have evidence

of U.S. complicity with Al Queda, it seems that the war rhetoric has cooled. Coincidence? Maybe.

[SPKrazy]

13. Nahhhh, Not A Coincidence Theorist! n/t

[ladjf]

15. So, do you think that the Iranians have the "goods" on Bush or

not? Were they just bluffing?

[SPKrazy]

17. Probably Got The Goods

since they are "harboring" al queda

they probably know that it was LIHOP on 9/11

or maybe even MIHOP

[JohnyCanuck]

11. Could be Iran's just a feint, and the real target is much closer to home,

like Venezuela.

The War Drums Are Getting Louder and Sounding a Clear Message
Tell A Friend

by Stephen Lendman

To understand what's in the wind, all you have to do is clean out your ears, open your eyes and pay attention. The US war drums are beating a duet, and they're getting louder. Listen up, here's the message on the Venezuelan front. On March 28, the Virginia Pilot of Norfolk, VA (that's where the biggest US naval force is based and where I once lived for a year) reported that the US Navy is sending an aircraft carrier strike group composed of four ships and 60 aircraft to Caribbean and South American waters for a "major" training exercise. All four ships are capable of launching cruise missiles that might and could be armed with nuclear warheads. By my reckoning, that's a provocative and hostile act.

Now combine that with the growing hostile rhetoric coming out of Washington directed at Hugo Chavez. I wrote in a previous article that Latin American expert James Petras wrote (now some months ago) that the US has a strategy to overthrow President Chavez by military force and at the same time destroy the Cuban revolution in a "two step" process - "first overthrow the Chavez government in Venezuela, cut off the energy supply and trade links (to Cuba) and then proceed toward economic strangulation and military attack." He also believed then the US would employ a "triangular strategy" to overthrow Chavez - "a military invasion from Colombia, US intervention (by air and sea attacks plus special forces to assassinate key officials) and an internal uprising by infiltrated terrorists and military traitors, supported by key media, financial and petrol elites."

That's an ominous scenario to consider, but now add to it the kind of Washington rhetoric that makes it all sound possible. Here's some of the language from 2005 to the present, and it's getting meaner. Various US officials including CIA Chief Porter Goss, Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and a growing number of others have called President Chavez a "threat to democracy" and an "elected dictatorship", and they said it without even a touch of irony. They accused him of doing "away with the rule of law, (packing) the courts (and) carrying out anti-democratic activities" like a dictator.

It gets worse. The just updated National Security Strategy, published so we can all read it, specifically singles out Hugo Chavez as "a demogogue awash in oil money (who is) undermining democracy and seeking to destabilize the region." The complicit US corporate media echo this venom as often as the Washington cabal asks them to. And there's lots more of it including a recent US Army report that calls Hugo Chavez "the largest threat since the Soviet Union and Communism", and Don Rumsfeld compares him to Hitler.

12. Interesting Read! n/t

[IselaB]

16. I think it's laughable to think this president could lead us to war

with Iran. With what army? Yeah, let's fight the Shiites in two countries instead of one. We can hack it.

And the Bush twins in Maxim? Oh, really classy. These Bushes... a class act all around.

[SPKrazy]

20. The Maxim Thing

was a joke too

but they aren't too classy anyway

[electron_blue]

18. I was kinda wondering - were the earthquakes real, or actually attacks?

[SPKrazy]

19. Don't Know, Although It Would Be Good Cover Since Iran Has A Lot

of earthquakes

[electron_blue]

21. well, it struck me as odd. Cnn had 2 headlines - one about

1) Iran successfully testfires missile
then
2) Iran suffers numerous earthquakes, many dead

bizarre coincidence. I hope Iran doesn't suffer numerous "earthquakes" next week.

[SPKrazy]

22. I Read About A Really Bizarre Weapon In Discover Magazine

A plane that is able to fly at a sub orbit level, above countries airspace, that can drop a payload of a type of bomb that is like a bundle of hardened steel poles, that is dropped and falls at a rate of 5000 miles per hour. They didn't talk about secondary payload that I recall, but what if we are dropping these bombs from a sub-orbit on suspected nuclear sites, and the payload is nuclear.

Could something like that trigger earthquakes in certain areas?
