With the naval buildup in the Persian gulf and the deployment of patriot missiles, will Bush's exit strategy for troops in Iraq going to be through Iran?
If so, do you think he'll claim he's only doing what the congress wanted him to do: get the troops out of Iraq.

Maybe. We'd only attack after some staged Gulf of Tonkin-like event where one of our ships or planes get destroyed by an "Iranian Attack."

Bush wouldn't be stupid enough to claim that he got the troops out of Iraq by putting them in Iran. That is too stupid even for him.

The military build-up by the US (in Iraq and soon in Afghanistan) and the exercises being performed by Israel (making bombing runs on long distance targets to simulate targets in Iran) is starting to look pretty scary. A regional conflict between the US, Israel, Iran and Iraqi guerrillas would be the most awful thing that could happen. Hundreds of thousands of Iranian people would be killed. If the US tried to take Iran like we took Iraq, via a full scale ground war, the number US casualties would be huge.

The only possibility for a "victory" for the US in Iran is an populist overthrow of the Supreme Leader Ali Hoseini-KHAMENEI and President Mahmud AHMADI-NEJAD and the rest of the "Extreme Islamist state."

Even if I were a neo-conservative on the Bush bandwagon, I would advise against it.

In an eloquent speech delivered in a bar in Boston, liberal Massachusetts Senator, Edward Kennedy, told bar patrons that "Iraq is George Bush's Vietnam."

"The situation is getting so bad on the ground," said Kennedy, "that it's begun to resemble the quagmire we faced in Vietnam."

"As you know, my brother Jack started the Vietnam War,' said Ted, "so that's why I'm now supporting George Bush in the Iraqi endeavor. I think George should do what Jack would have done, which is to continually deploy more and more troops. Some assassinations would be good, too."

Meanwhile, the 9/11 Commission wants to interview surviving Kennedy administration officials on what they told the Bush administration about Vietnam.

"If we'd recognized the parallel earlier," said Bob Kerrey, the Commission member who allegedly massacred women, children and old men in Vietnam, "we could have adopted a shoot first, leave no witnesses strategy in Iraq."

The point of the surge, the bringing down of Saddam, and the entire BushOilCo policy in the Middle East is to create disorder. The surge is meant to draw Iran into the fray. You will know if it has worked when hegemony is complete from Dubai, to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan and finally Iran! And, as an added bonus, when the US Treasury is completely bankrupt, we are close to that now, http://www.uuforum.org/deficit.htm...
so that our nation will be completely subservient to international debt holders like China and the other global houses of power. These men mean us harm, and they are well on their way to realizing their dreams. We all better put a stop to this before we are completely powerless to act.

Ya - that is humorous to make certain all those "help our troops" issues on the lower back of peoples' autos - yet our troops were denied guns and armor and go away and rotation - or maybe as they get living house they are denied medical help and so one and so on. human beings are regularly finished idiots - they in basic terms want to seem as if they help troops - quite in many cases they don't care. The conflict would not contact them - they in basic terms want their tax rebate verify.

I hope this does not happen. Is he completley gone mad? I think he is smoking marrihuana. If I have spelled that darn word right. Anyhow, I think he would be insane to take on Iran. I bet your button Dollar that the Russians wouldn't be far away nor the north korean's. Cause they support Iran! That would be the end of the United States.

Bush isn't going to invade Iran. The next president is going to. He is just positioning the troops there for the invasion.

With Iran making alliances in south America they are gathering forces to stand against the US and will have serious help at our back door. I think the time has come to either roll through Iran or change our policy about assassinating world leaders. Our south American neighbors are naive to Irans real motives and will find muslim extremists taking over their governments unless someone such as the United States can stop them.

Bush want do it without congressional support and I don't think he will get that. If congress does say it is best you can bet GW will not be scared to do it. He has courage to do what he thinks is right and that is admirable.

He would be foolish to do so.

It would be a bloodbath and the American people would never support it.
