Ahh...another in the Heinz 57 rationales for the Bush Admin lying us
into Iraq.

When you look at what is happening in Iran, it is the most likely
scenario.
The current situation depends more on what Netanyahu does than anyone
in Iran or Washington.

The only question is whether we let Israel start the war or whether we
do it. Politically it may be better for us to do it, like we did in
Iraq.
If Israel starts it we will still be drawn in but we won't have any
cover.


Ahh, I was referring to Iraq. I feel out of my league trying to predict
what Iran, North Korea, or the Pakistanis will do about anything, since
they are run by insane people. Saddam was a butcher, but I don't think
he was in the same league of insanity as the leaders of the countries I
referenced here.

I'm not convinced that Jim Jung Whatever is crazy. They know they will
be nuked if they should actually start something. Same with Iran. I'm
not concerned about the current Pak leadership, but I am concerned
about their nukes being taken over by religous zealots or if the
leadership there and the Indian leadership miscalculate.

If it was true that Israel was threatened by Saddam, they would have
acted. As it was, we restrained Israel from acting, which was the only
smart thing Bush did. Other than that, he lied about the reasons, and
****ed up Iraq and Afganistan.

Of course, since Fretwell has so much worldly experience working at
IBM 20 years ago, he's gotta be the ****ing expert in that, gun
safety, raising kids, milking goats, and fixing drones. Whatever. How
anyone can listen to him after all his bull**** and unsupported
nonsense astounds me.
