- strafefire, on 10/11/2007, -7/+236From The Article:
"The White House claims that Iran, whose influence in the Middle East has increased significantly over the last six years, is intent on building a nuclear weapon and is arming insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan."
Well, we now know that the majority of insurgents in Iraq are Iraqis followed by Saudis (@38% no less).
We now know that Iran has NOTHING to do with the insurgency in Iraq...
We now know that our "ally" has been stirring up insurgency in Iraq (kingdom of Saud)...
We now know that our Marines were actually given orders to start trouble in Iraq...
We now....ARggghhh...***** ***** ***** ***** -- My goddamn head hurts with all this *****!
As a veteran (USN 00-06), I am still trying to figure out how in the hell did we ***** UP THIS BADLY!
How many ***** PEOPLE have died because of this retarded ***** --
And how many more will continue to...
ARRRGHHHH! - deathweaver108, on 10/11/2007, -7/+131To everyone that voted for Bush.... ***** you
- RoroCo, on 10/11/2007, -4/+127Anyone else just sick of Bush period?
- jamesallen74, on 10/11/2007, -10/+132All about the oil. Gotta keep Haliburton and Cheney's portfolio big.
- clownguyx, on 10/11/2007, -6/+111Maybe he'll use a war with Iran as an excuse as a need to try and stay in office past the end of his term. Probably a little far fetched, but it is a scary thought.
- redrock34, on 10/11/2007, -10/+92This is why we must IMPEACH! People against impeachment argue that Bush can't do much for the rest of his Presidency. *****! Call your senators and congressmen NOW and tell them to IMPEACH Bush and Cheney!

2000 Election
2004 Reelection
We did it to ourselves. - RetroRufio, on 10/11/2007, -3/+51"ARRRGHHHH!"
Were you a pirate in the Navy? - usrlocalbin, on 10/11/2007, -5/+53I enjoy reading them actually. It just continues to piss me the ***** off each time.
Hopefully after everyone gets sicker and sicker with this *****, we'll be able to do what the government and administration haven't been able to do. Come together, join forces, and drive the ***** criminals out of our government.
Why the ***** did we invade another country and kill their ruler, when that is what needs to be done here!!!
Bush/Cheney are the real war criminals, not Saddam.
Therightside: Please go die in a fire. You and people like you are part of the problem. Blindly following some retard just because he is the president. If you had any common sence, or an IQ above 32, you would understand wtf is really going on. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+45You're right. It's not like gas prices have risen since the invasion of Iraq.
- spyd3rweb, on 10/11/2007, -1/+43Stop granting the chancellor emergency powers!
- statc, on 10/11/2007, -4/+43wow, it seems like the goal of this administration is to start as many wars as possible, get rich while soldiers die, then pass them to whoever becomes president in 08 to clean everything up.
- usrlocalbin, on 10/11/2007, -21/+57This used to be a great nation. This used to be the land of the free.
/hangs head in shame
Ron Paul 08 folks.
Peace - trippinlikegod, on 10/11/2007, -1/+37Not far fetched at all. Bush can take full military and dictatorship powers in the event of a "catastrophic event" according to a digg article posted last week.

"""
That's a good question, since popular sentiment seems to indicate Bush should have never been elected in 2000 anyhow.
I blame diebold, personally. - trippinlikegod, on 10/11/2007, -1/+36The same way they already have JACK ASS. You take control of it by force and then magically the refineries stop running at 100% capacity. "Terrorists" start blowing up chunks of the pipelines and etc. Doesn't take a genius to figure out if you control the oil but only sell a little bit you make more money on the larger stock over time. ***** man look at the diamond cartels.
- SoloMalee, on 10/11/2007, -4/+37The most worrying paragraph from the article:
"The Washington source said Mr Bush and Mr Cheney did not trust any potential successors in the White House, Republican or Democratic, to deal with Iran decisively. They are also reluctant for Israel to carry out any strikes because the US would get the blame in the region anyway"
It's scary the lack of intellectual intelligence that these so called leaders have. Do they really believe that they have dealt with Iraq or Afghanistan decisively and that they are really so much better than those that will follow at dealing with Iran? - trippinlikegod, on 10/11/2007, -4/+36http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/05/20070509-12.html
Not even a war is required for Bush to become supreme ruler of the free world. Just a few explosions in the US. - kazamx, on 10/11/2007, -1/+32The $ is already screwed. All you need is an economist to show you that.
If America wants to compete with China and India on the world stage, its needs to get its house in order. The USA is looking more and more like the British Epire towards the end. Still massive, still looking strong from the oputside, but everything is teatering on the edge of collapse. - aschocobo, on 10/11/2007, -3/+32its *****.
http://digg.com/world_news/Iran_want_to_upset_the_US_gov_Stop_letting_oil_be_paid_for_in_US_dollars
like preoccupation Iraq, Iran is trying to no longer accepting the dollar as payment for oil, and are telling countries to pay in other currencies. in this case it's yen, euros, or pesos. Iran is also slashing its dollar reserves to less than 20 percent. - n00854180t, on 10/11/2007, -3/+32I'm sick of the Bush apologists. Every last one of them are terrorists.
- glasnostic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+26Did anybody notice that right before the invasion of Iraq, Saddam switched policy and demanded all payments for his oil to be made in Euros?
Well Iran is heading down that path, so it looks like we might be in for a new war. - kazamx, on 10/11/2007, -1/+26Its basic economics. he is right. Here in the UK our Oil companies have been making record profits. The supply of oil has fallen since the war with Iraq while demand has increased. This has raised the price of crude oil. Our companies are spending the same to get the oil as before, but now its worth alot more.
If you can further restrict the supply of oil you can make even more money as the price climbs. - NinjaBoy, on 10/11/2007, -5/+271. Take over oil
2. Make them rase prices OR kill them
3. raise you own prices (lets say...$3 a gallon)
4. Profit - thekronz, on 10/11/2007, -3/+24I wonder if Bush just sits in the oval office just saying "I've got 18 months to put this country really deep in *****... what would REALLY ***** things up?"
Cheney enters the room. "Still thinking about it, George? I say we invade Iran!" - pushmouse, on 10/11/2007, -2/+22If Iraq's chief export was broccoli do you think we would even be there?
- crazydiode, on 10/11/2007, -2/+22"How many ***** PEOPLE have died because of this retarded ***** ".. you mean saving the US dollar from losing it's value? It will go on for a long time until the Dollar regains it's status as the reserve currency of the world or gets screwed up big time.
- kazamx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17Er.... isn't that what Governments do? There is no law saying that $ have to be used. There is no law saying that Iran has to store its reserve currency in $. back in the day the £ Sterling and gold were the world currencies. The $ proved a better investment and people moved to it. If Iran doesn't want to deal in $ it doesn't have to.
If the UK moves away from the $ are you coming to attack us too? no your not because while you would beat us we could wipe out all your major cities in the process. America is trying to keep its grip on the world through its military. Just like we did when we saw the Americans becoming stronger than us. America is scared on China and India it has no way to stop them overtaking the US. - empirefalling, on 10/11/2007, -7/+23America can not attack Iran. To do so would unleash the underlying anger of many nations upon this despicable nation. The United States would not "win" this war. This I believe it knows. Russia and the Chinese would step in quickly to disarm the United States in a manner in which the US would never recover. Even though the US needs to be changed, I could not condone the slaughter of it's citizens. Great accomplishments have been achieved within the US over the past 20 years using external and internal Social pressure to change it's laws, military and system of government.
Admittedly, one these projects have failed. The aggressive nature of the US has not been reduced even though success was achieved in demoralizing the US military in the eyes of the majority of this countries masses in recent years. I am afraid that these goals of change will not be achieved if the United States continues to be aggressive to its well defended neighbors. There is still is much to be done with this country. - mdkoch84, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17i seriously think this world is so full of idiots that there is no going back...see primeguy & therightside
- neozeed, on 10/11/2007, -3/+19The USS Enterprise sets sail to Iran. It was built in 1965. Its ancient. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Enterprise_%28CVN-65%29 )
$0.02 says that it gets sunk as part of a false flag event to create a nuclear disaster, and we invade in it's shadow.
Of course I could be completly wrong, but why on earth would we be pushing something that should be turned into razorblades into combat, except that it is completly expendable. At the least it'll send the Star Trek geeks into orbit. - trippinlikegod, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16And exactly what fantasy world do you live in?
- gthrank, on 10/11/2007, -3/+18These guys have nothing to lose at this point. They're despised by the world, derided by Americans left and right, discredited by political organizations, exposed by the media and their own defectees, chided by courts, and brow-beaten by plain reality.
Now is when they are at the MOST dangerous. - SoloMalee, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14I agree the value of the $ in the world market coupled to oil sales is the most significant factor influencing action against Iran. Quite simply selling oil in Euros hurts the US in the pocket. If no one buys $ to buy oil, then the $ value crashes against world markets, ultimately making the US a much poorer country that would be less able to support its military and economic lifestyle. I'm not sure how that other factor makes this article *****.
- MeMongo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14Haliburton has also been contracted to extract the oil as well as build/maintain the oil infrastructure in Iraq. That was part of Cheney's multi-billion dollar no-bid contract that he handed to them. Their justification was that there weren't many companies in the world that could do this sort of work.
- jgzman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14Anyone else sick of knowing what our government is doing, With our money, and our lives?
Alternately, for those who don't live in the USA, Anyone else sick of knowing what the world's most powerful nutjob is ***** up, and if he might start tossing nukes? - phineous, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14Iran is already asking Japan to pay in Yen. Japan divests dollars, dollar drops more.
- terrordome, on 10/11/2007, -4/+18To everyone who are letting Bush remain in power.... ***** you
It's probably time to make use of the Second Amendment, folks. - allahuakbar, on 10/11/2007, -4/+18Wanting to leave the decision to the states does not pro-life a man make. He's socially liberal, his stance regarding this is very consistent with his rejection of strong government power over us.
- kazamx, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17A former Muslim would make a great president. He understands both sides and will be in a perfect position to find peace. the reason you have problems now is you have a fundamentalist christian in charge who thinks God talks to him and tells him to bomb other countries.
- samak, on 10/11/2007, -4/+17As an Iranian, I'm telling you guys, YOU did it and in case of an attack, it is not only you who will pay for this war, it will involve the entire world. If you still love your free country, fight for it by stopping the war which will be a start of and end for the U.S.
Persians have seen these things during a thousands of years of history and they know what to do. Other empires have come and go and we are still here but no one even remember their name. - JinnRikki, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13In 200 Gore was Bush's opponent Tom.
I blame the media that had a all consuming hatred for Gore. Day in and day out "Gore says he invented the internet" and "Gore says he and tipper were the basis for Love Story" and Gore wears Brown suits OMG! On and on it went like that through the whole campaign. Is it any wonder he doesn't want to run again? They've started all ready, "Gore is fat" and Gore is a Know it all about global warming".
Truly a shame that the "main stream media " picked our president ( with the help of SCOTUS) in 2000 and most likely will push the weak minded into "their" candidate in 2008 also. - vertinox, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14You'll be really sick of them reading them in a fox hole on the outskirts of Tehran after they had to do a draft.
- kazamx, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14Your both idiots.
Go do some reaearch the quote you refer to NEVER HAPPENED. It was concocted by your media. The real quote was refering to Time and israel would be washed away by time. Go find the real quote.
Your preaching to go to war on lies, false truths and misunderstandings. this is another Iraq. You will wake up in 5 years and realise it was all *****. How can Americans be so dumb as not to see that this is the exact same ***** they came out with about Iraq. - cryptomystic, on 10/11/2007, -3/+16no, the elections were rigged.
- suriyou, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12He may be anti-gay marriage, but he doesn't want to make a constitutional amendment banning it, he wants to leave it up to the states, the way marriage has always been.
I'm pro-Ron Paul. And I'm gay.
I guess I'm confused. :/ - t3hCyborg, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11In all likelihood, no you won't. Everybody will share a collective WTF moment, but what's scary is that nobody will do anything to stop it.
- linuxismyfriend, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Seefate, easily the US can destroy most of the world (or at least the parts without nuclear weapons), but for them to control most of the world is a different thing, just look at Iraq. By the numbers, Iran is a lot larger than Iraq and a lot stronger with the capability of attacking US interests. So yes, the US would probably not lose (but they can can with either, like Israel with Hiz'bullah, at first we want to conquer them but soon that will be watered down to nothing important) but how long and at what cost would it take to "not lose"?
- DestroyFascism, on 10/11/2007, -4/+14He should arrange a terror attack with Bush in it....Kbang! Oh damn! Now I am the president! either that or go duck hunting and shoot him in the face.....
