Time and time again over the last several years, a case has been made that Isreal and/or the US are preparing an imminent attack against Irani's nuclear projects. Here we go with yet an other (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/guest_contributors/article4926251.ece).

Have we reached the point where it's all just crying wolf?

Silly rabbit, America/Isreal/jews/russia/North Korea* is always going to be on the verge of attacking Iran/Iran/Morality/NATO/South Korea*.

*Select all that apply

I'm just waiting for the day where the finger 'slips' and everything goes to crap.

You shouldn't worry about people crying wolf about Israel and the U.S.

You should worry when Israel and the U.S. cry "LOOK OUT, IT'S COMING RIGHT FOR US!!"

aka exercising the Uncle Jimbo Doctrine.

I'm just waiting for the day where the finger 'slips' and everything goes to crap.

And that's about the time I get drafted...

And about the time I move to Norway...

And about the time I move to Norway...

Woudn't you feel guilty if anyone from the unit you would be forced into got killed on the chance that if you hadn't fled, they might be still alive?

Don't you feel guilty that if you had made a right turn instead of left on the intersection yesterday on the way to work, you might have prevented someone from dying in a traffic accident with judicious use of the honk rather than letting them be plowed into by a pickup?

It's taking it's damn time.

*looks at watch impatiently*

But if you did, wouldn't you feel guilty because the man you saved ended up dodging a draft and because of that, soldiers in the unit he were to be in got killed when he could have saved them? Of course, if he were dead, he wouldn't be there either. Maybe you should get all the other soldiers in that unit to move to Norway too. :)

Nope.

We're currently working on the quantum state man, who will be both dead, alive, draft dodging, and fighting alongside his unit, all at the same time.

So far, the waveform refuses to collapse and all we have is the possible man and Mr Maybe Maybe Not.


Maybe you should get all the other soldiers in that unit to move to Norway too. :)

But then another unit will get killed if that unit isn't there. Clearly the answer is to move the entire army to Norway!

We're currently working on the quantum state man, who will be both dead, alive, draft dodging, and fighting alongside his unit, all at the same time.

So far, the waveform reduces to collapse and all we have is the probable man and Mr Maybe Maybe Not. That's still an impressive result; except when it isn't.

Or we could avoid war. but a mass exodus to Norway is probably easier to implement. *nod*

That's still an impressive result; except when it isn't.

It is, when we get funding. It isn't when that funding doesn't arrive. And the last time the funding wasn't, we got you.

We could kill two birds with one stone if we could convince the average American that the terrorists/Iran/North Korea/etc were from Mars or Venus. Put a stop to the actual fighting, and maybe funnel all those trillions into a decent space program.

It might work too, if you're run of the mill American can think of Australia as Iran.

I prefer to be addressed as Schrodinger's Clown.

I bet I could sew together a few hundred martian costumes...

It's Schroedinger. And it would have been Schroedinger's toe, but someone dropped the complete collection of the Three Stooges in the quantum assembly device. Oh, and: *observes*

I'll see if I can arrange some prime time viewing. Do you have a location?

Well, where would Martians visit first if they wanted to be belligerent and pose a terrorist threat? I'm thinking Vegas. *nod*

Don't you remember Mars Attacks!? They would first land at Pahrump, Nevada!

Why, because that's where Art Bell used to Broadcast Coast to Coast AM of course! Duh!

So you pie and do not pie at the same time. Can this not-pie bypass the frequency of an invisible wall?

*squirts you in the eye with a fake flower*


Goggles LG. Goggles. We made you, we know all your tricks. Even the ones that are improbable. That's why we have a mime squad on hand to take you down if needed. :p

Everyone goes to Vegas. And with the fashion trends there, Cthulhu could show up and have a showdown with Godzilla and Elvis, and nobody would bat an eyelid. The Martians wouldn't even make the tabloids.

Yes and no.

*keeps silent about the invisible boxcutter in his sock to lull you into a false sense of security* Okay, you win this round.

Hmm... Salt Lake City?

*pulls pie out of LG's nose*

Your tricks won't work on me! :p


Hmm... Salt Lake City?

Salt Lake City is fine, although you could probably do just as well with random Martian wedgie attacks on Mormon compounds.

Yes and no.

So mimes should and should not be terrified of this breaking development.

*Sneaks off and air-telegrams a message.*

TO be hoenst it wont be a land invasion ala Iraq. If and when it does happen it will likely be a naval blockade and maybe an air strike on the nuclear sites.

I think we're on the same page here. :)

Which crazily, doesn't work. I saw Mystery Men too you know.

I know. I'm writing it. Remember what I said about free will and gifts? :p

there is always a look at what the millitary could do for America and what the results would be for its own people and the rest of the world. Considering something dosnt mean that is will be carried out.

It's either Schrödinger or Schroedinger, but not Schrodinger. The 'ö' can be replaced with an ''oe'.

This was your German lesson for today, Gutentag.

Have we reached the point where it's all just crying wolf?Didn't you hear? We reached that point with the Iraq war. Ever since that no one believes a word of what the US has to say.
