Drumbeat for Iran has grown LOUDER!!!
Topic: Let's invade Iran!
I have been keeping my eye on anything having to do with the U.S. and Iran for the last few years and you may have noted that the MSM has also recently stepped up the Iran rhetoric.

I must say that I am scared shit-less of this situation. The Bush has stated lately that any specific war plans or talk of air strikes is "wild speculation." However, if you look at all the pieces it appears that they are actually doing almost the exact same kind of things they just fucked up with in Iraq for the last three years. It's like motherfucking deja vu and it feels like there is absolutely nothing I can do about it.

Nothing.

While a few in the senate are still working towards doing SOMETHING/ANYTHING to oppose heir Bush it is having little affect. Thus far 2006 has been nothing short of a scandal plagued year. It seems like every single week something negative happens to the Bush machine, or comes out about something shitty the Bush machine has already done and nothing ever seems to come of it.

I have mentione Peter Daou's Bush scandal strategy on here before and I believe that it was (and continues to be) dead on. Feingold pu forward the motion of censure and the rest of congress seems to not support it. I wrote Obama and Durbin (my senators) and have heard back from Obama:

I agree with Senator Feingold that the Administration's attitude toward congressional oversight and the FISA law has been cavalier and arrogant. We are a nation of laws, and those laws should be applied to all of us, from humblest citizen to the president of the United States. No president should be allowed to knowingly and willing flout our laws, and I believe the President exceeded his authority with his domestic wiretapping program. The justifications offered that the president possesses inherent presidential authority under Article II, or was granted that authority in the 2001 Authorization to Use Military Force -- seem to contradict prior precedent and our constitutional design.

But my and Senator Feingold's view is not unanimous. Some constitutional scholars and lower court opinions support the president's argument that he has inherent authority to go outside the bounds of the law in monitoring the activities of suspected terrorists. The question is whether the president understood the law and knowingly flaunted it, or whether he and his aides, in good faith, interpreted their authority more broadly than I and others believe the law allows. Ultimately, this debate must be resolved by the courts.

Disappointing, but what is he supposed to do, rip off his shirt and lead the charge to dis empower this freaky demagogue we have running America into some kind of repressed, distracted, unaffected empire? Who could do that? I mean, oppose, lead and actually fight for the America we thought we were? That said, Obama made a good point here:

Also, a censure resolution does nothing to deal with the underlying problem of unchecked executive power. It would not force the president to modify his domestic surveillance program or force the Senate Intelligence Committee to do its job.

In order to do that, Congress must reassert its constitutional role in overseeing the domestic surveillance program. And it should bring the warrantless wiretapping program back under the authority of the court established by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Therefore, my focus is on crafting an effective surveillance program that both combats terrorism and contains meaningful judicial review of wiretapping, which is the most effective way to restore balance between the battle against terrorism and the rule of law.


Congress does need to reassert it's authority and I believe the best way to do this, and move forward in re-claiming our America is by seeing to it that the Donkeys get back the senate (and if miracles can occur, the House). Not to say, the Democrats have all the answers..They don't. But man I would rather have ten Democrats getting blowjobs daily instead of this one Bush.

Bush's new strategy to attempt to bolster his dismal poll numbers, I believe is to beat the Iran drums louder. This shit scares me stupid. We will not have a little war with Iran, it will be a big one. Even if we only do the air strike option (the most talked about option.) There is a lot of shit all over the blog-o-verse about this. I highly recommend reading Americablog's "Message for the Democrats' and Seymor Hersh's latest article in the New York Post.

There are a couple things that bug me about all of this, chief of which is the notion that Dubya and Co. seem to think that actually using nukes (perhaps underground bunker buster style) just about blows my mind. Why that is even an option frightens me. Can you imagine this President using Nukes? You fuckers on the right who still support this clown probably think it's GREAT! Turn that sand to glass, right? Do you people have any idea how shitty that will be? Environmentally? Repercussions? Counter Attack? World War? Ugh, I can't even go on.

The other thing is that all that I said above is a mere moot point because I keep hearing all this talk about The President of Iran claiming that he believes the end of history is only a few years away. Here in the U.S. you hear culture of fear-esque tales from insane lefties who believe that their insane counterparts on the right also truly believe that Judgment day is soon upon us. This explains the re-election of George Bush pretty well, doesn't it? The total ignorance towards the global warming debate, the continued wasted time and nonsense proferred by the drug war and the war on porn, abortion, gay marriage...Must keep the sins to a minimum so that more of us will get into Heaven in the next few years! They always say the end of the world would begin with a war in the middle east!

So why bother caring about the future? WE'RE ALL GOIN' TO HEAVEN AND THE REST WILL BURN IN HELL!!!
It's Judgment day and this one has no Terminators. So, cash in your 401Ks and get to praying!

I for one am holding out for the end of the world orgies. That better happen dammit! Screw all this running around looting and panicing bullshit we should all get laid!

man, I know this all comes off as paranoid delusions and I truly hope that is all they are...I didn't make this shit up though...There are people who do believe this shit. I am a non-believer when it comes to religion however I have fallen into a few self-fulfilling prophecies in my own life...Can it be possible for two countries lead by nutjobs to do the same?
