Really? So now he's trying to use Israel as a proxy (usually the other way around) to attack Iran. What a dick!

Is it really that surprising? Dick doesn't give a damn what happens to America as long as he is making money off of it.

The only way America could go to war with Iran is if The draft is re instituted and taxes go way up because we sure as hell don't have the funding to handle a massive increase in military power.

So, my best friends mom's third cousin's plumber heard from this guy he met once that aliens are abducting poodles, to do some sort of experiment on.


:D

Citing two unidentified sources, Newsweek said former Cheney Middle East adviser David Wurmser told a small group several months ago that Cheney was considering asking Israel to strike the Iranian nuclear site at Natanz.

So, it's a Reuters article about a Newsweek story about a guy telling a group of people something? I'm assuming the 2 unidentified sources that Newsweek cited are from this group.

"Cheney was considering asking Israel to strike the Iranian nuclear site at Natanz. A military response by Iran could give Washington an excuse to then launch airstrikes of its own"

if this will work as an excuse, i'm pretty sure that you no longer need any excuses at all.

Can you please give an explanation as to why? The only reason I can think of is that you are mad.

How about an Asparagus Genocide? Round up as many of them as possible and have them all steamed... then add garlic or lemon butter to their carcasses.

Mmmm.... steamed and buttered asparagus...

As a citizen of one of America's allies, I want to see nothing more than the destruction of America. I'm quite confident you can piece together how this would hurt America, given its military is already overstretched, and its economy is not doing the best it could.

As your minister I hereby formally announce my support for your statement and will stand behind you on this matter.

Indeed, I will stand a long way behind you while furtively signaling to the Americans that, for a sweet deal, I am ready to betray you at the drop of a hat.

I would like you to know that I do this not out of honour, nor a sense of what is right and wrong in this world, but simply out of a materialistic desire for what I perceive as the American life with gold paved streets, blond, buxom cheerleaders and fast cars.

Yours

Minister of Boats.

why should any of this surprise anyone? getting the u.s. involved in enough wars to collapse the economy so the constitution can be replaced overtly by military dictatorship is a stepping stone to the kind of world dictatorship pseudo-conservatives want to create and be in control of. all for the fun of lining their own pockets of course. and whoever dies or gets tortured or whatever else, what do they care, as long as it isn't them. though i think the're whistling in the dark to immagine the're completely insulated from any possibility of it ever doing so!

and of course in the mean time, the're destroying the web of life on which all living existence on this earth, human and otherwise, ultimately depends. half way not believing that they are and the other half way, some how not giving a dam or imagining somehow that they don't need to.

it's insanity, worshipping symbolic value and not watching, nor giving a dam, where its going!

After some deletions, I should still have a reply.

I am enormously cheap and open to all forms of bribes, as your minister you would expect no less as you have previously stated and deleted and I would hate to let you down.

I can imagine Dick Cheney stating this, aside from the deleted part, to George Bush when they started up this administration

Mr. Cheney is not happy with the current war he and his friends started so he's fresh of the pines with a new war to sell. Well, not too many people are buying into his idea for a new war so if only he could create some situation where.... Eureka! Much like 9/11 gave him a reasoning to go to war in Iraq, and Iranian retaliatory strike would force us to defend Israel and lead into exactly what Cheney wants. Could we please stop him from trying to engulf us in WW3 and bringing about of the apocalypse? I would tell you to write your representatives but we know the would only serve to irritate you while they defy your will. linky (http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSN2323126720070923)

That was a mistake. One, we lost image with Iran. This we cannot afford.

Second, if Israel DOES carry out a strike, the world will blame the US.

Of course it's a mistake. So was going to war in Iraq without an exit strategy. So was listening to Cheney in 1994 say that trying to depose Saddam would be a ClusterF, and then him pushing for war in 2002-2003.
As long as Halliburton and other groups friendly the white house can "clean up" what's the risk? Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, and Marines mus die for the botom line. Bonfires, nuclear strikes, and radiated marhmallows for all!!!!!

Yes, no need to worry about nuclear fallout and how it would adversely affect our allies in the region. Most certainly don't worry about killing innocent brown people (they are all terrorists anyway). Finally, let's not worry about the rest of the world who has nukes as well because I'm sure they'll just sit idly by while we turn Iran into glass. Your idea is so intellectually deep and well thought out

Woohoo! someone agrees :p

Yea somehow I don't think Nuking Iran and thus contaminating the area around it where we get a lot of our oil from would be such a good idea...

I would be too. But "the only trouble is, gee whiz" Bush is directly responsible for half the nation's debt. More debt means higher inflation. The Iraq and Afghanistan are causing this. They each have a half-ass military, and on the whole the populations actually support us. Imagine what it would cost if the military was huge and well equipped, and the population didn't support us? Oh, sure fighting Iran would be fun, but it wouldn't be worth it.
