Quote:What can I say? You and I are rational people. But Iraq was supposed to be a cakewalk and the administration ignored every expert warning and intelligence. And they are STILL saying things are going well and 'stay the course'. Bush gave a speech yesterday (I believe) where he dismissed events in Iraq. (He said there was a 'strong' interest in democracy, which, in his mind, made everything OK.)
Not that I wouldn't put that past these guys (anything to expand the Empire), but won't China back Iran if the US starts a fight. I can't imagine anyone, Democrat or Republican, who wants that. China has what, like a billion man standing army? We would get our asses handed to us...
These people are not operating in the real world, the world inhabited by sane people. They are both insane and evil.

Canker sore - now it's just tedious. You need to work on your routine some. Well, it's true ...
BTW, do you have ANYTHING substantive to contribute to the topic?

Quote:My undrestanding is that the concept is precision lightening-strikes (either air or ground). According to vars folks, the USA already has "sniffer" probes inside Iran to try and suss out of their nuclear facilities (which are dispersed in hardened underground facilities). But I don't forsee any USA troops on Iranian soil for any length of time- certainly not enough time for China to actually respond militarily. (Think of the Israeli bombing of Iraq's nulcear facility).

OTOH, the Chinese have many ways to retaliate besides militarily. It just depends on how much they want to suffer along with us, because they are MAJOR Treasury and note-holders of USA debt.

Reality sucks. Especially when it contradicts our cherished ideas.

Another Ruse from Ruse, how amusing. Start at the top of this thread and read. Every time I post you come in with Canker sore this or Canker sore that...I could tell from your political ideology that you have a very selective memory, a twisted view of history, and no sense of humor. Thanks for the confirmation. Well, it's true....And, as I've posted before, spelling it Kaneker sore would be kind of witty...instead we get Auraptor= asswipe, Hero= Zero, and Kaneman= canker sore. Why bother living? You are less than moss.....

Well, OK, the US won't do it with troops on the ground, and Israel won't do it at all (got burned on Lebanon). Would the US actually strike in a way that the world could witness? Missiles from aircraft, subs and the like.

I'm with Signy and Frem, we're gonna shoot at Iran just before elections, 'cause we 'have to', and they'll shoot back. Scare the peeps into staying the course towards the iceberg.
Bush will then have a fake heart attack, and ask America to win one for his gipper from the hospital bed. That'll be a nice dramatic touch.

Canker sore - I wouldn't fluff the name and get too comfy with it if I were you. It's really only the first.
Apparently you never actually read my posts. I invited you to read the statistical error analysis of the exit polls. You dropped the topic. I mentioned that there was no media analysis of Bush's policies to date. You dropped the topic. I also said Bush wasn't elected either time (this was in specific response to your post, which BTW had nothing to do with the thread.) You dropped the topic. When I reported on my co-worker's opinions, all you had was an ad hominem attack. ("I wouldn't give any credence to what Proctologists and Political interns say either.")
In the meantime - I've actually been discussing the topic with the more rational, honorable people here. You should try it. You might learn something.
