"The war, if it comes, will not be fought because Iran is trying to create a euro-denominated spot and futures market for oil.

And the Democrats, worthless "opposition" that they are, have made Iran the centerpiece of a ridiculous strategy of being to the "right" of Republicans on matters of national security (sic), of becoming more hawkish than thou in order to never be on the "wrong" side of another American war ever again."

The land of the free and home of the brave has become the land of the willfully spied upon and imprisoned without charge, and the home of the cowardly bullies, willing to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people because another cowardly bully tells them they are in danger, without providing any proof whatsoever. Shame.

Once America was that shining city on the hill, and now it is Dr. Evil's castle, shrouded with sinister clouds whose path's gutters overflow with rivers of blood. Shame.

You've posted this theory at least twice before.

Can't you come up with something new?

Scott Ritter told us last Spring that Bush had signed off on a directive to bomb Iran in June of '05. Evidently his source was wrong. Yet I still think it was worth posting. This is yet another writer warning us of a possible scenario leading to the deaths of tens or hundreds of thousands of innocent people, and I happen to think that prospect is worth debate. You apparently do not. I'm not forcing you to respond, or even read these posts.

If you're not interested in discussing this, post another topic. I happen to think the Bushis are still on script to seize control of the world's oil to maintain American economic control, and so when I find a different (to me) perspective on how that will happen I post it.

> to maintain American economic control...

I'm surprised. I assumed that any alleged conspiracy would be to maintain international economic control by the Bushies and their wealthy friends.

So you think this whole thing is patriotic? They just want the U.S. to be in control?

My bad. I mispoke. I often use "American" and "Bushi" interchangeably when the latter often do not have American interests at heart, being internationalists since at least W's grandfather's trading with Nazi Germany, even after the war started. Cheney has been trading with Iran, even though we've long designated them a terrorist state. These guys have only one allegiance and that is to Mammon.

So, what do you get out of hanging around a mac site and trying to engage people in debate who don't share your depth of knowledge? That sounds as much like being a "cowardly bully" to me as anything else.

What part of "Friendly Political Ranting" didn't you understand? Go true your wheels.

Refrub,

How does does bombing Iran allow the US to withdraw from Iraq with "dignity"? This question isn't answered at all in your post.

We don't intend to withdraw. Whoever told you that must have sold you a bridge somewhere, too. That's why we've built all those permanent bases there. Our bases in Saudi Arabia were an embarassing difficulty for that regime, so we needed those Iraqi airfields to project power into the region. Our aim was never to liberate those countries, but to conquer them and incorporate them into our empire. We have over 750 bases around the world. Iraq's are just the latest acquisitions and the only reason we might leave is when the oil runs out, if then. From those bases we can threaten the entire region into compliance with our corporations greed.
