OH GOODIE! A War WITH IRAN!

Kiddies: Auntie Athana here.

Looks like the (p)Resident camped out in our White House is more of a googly banana than we thought. Seems he’s crying crocodile tears over his NeoCons losing control of Congress in November (which every crystal ball in the country predicts will happen).

So Baby Dubya’s plan seems to be this: Start a war with Iran right before the election. Or, better yet, prod the Iranians into attacking us first.

Bushlet knows Americans freeze in disasters. They get frumpy, and wanna keep who's ever in power, in power (in this case it’s the NeoCons – or just plain “Cons” as some call them).

So don’t be fooled. Warn everyone you know about the possibility that Bush plans to fool around with our heads right before the election. Then, if we do find ourselves in a war with Iran the day before we vote, everyone will say. “Ahh! That’s Dubya trying to dupe us. All the more reason to kick those Elephants outa office.”

If you need info, I’ve listed some below. Or, go to the original source: Dave Lindorff, author of The Case for Impeachment (featured on C-Span; it reached #42 on the Amazon best-seller list)

BREAKING NEWS: Eisenhower Carrier Group Sails for Iran Theater

The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Eisenhower and its accompanying strike force of cruiser, destroyer and attack submarine slipped their moorings and headed off for the Persian Gulf region on Oct. 2, as I had predicted in a piece in The Nation magazine a few weeks back.
The Eisenhower strike force, according to my sources, is scheduled to arrive in the vicinity of Iran around October 21, at the same time as a second flotilla of minesweepers and other ships.

It seems increasingly clear that the Republican Party is going to lose its grip on the House of Representatives, and that it may even lose control of the Senate, barring some dramatic October Surprise by the president.

This means that the worse things look for Republican chances in November, the greater the likelihood that a desperate President Bush will order a disastrous attack on Iran….

The Crime of Treason and the Treasonous Crime of Silence

It is becoming increasingly clear that the Bush administration is planning another unprovoked war, this time against Iran....

SNIP

Skeptics are saying it's impossible--the president and his cronies are not crazy, whatever else they may be, so why would they do something that would inevitably be a disaster, militarily, politically and economically?
The answer is that Bush and his gang don't care. They are focused laser-like on one thing--retaining control of the Congress. And the only thing, at this point, that has a chance of salvaging Republican control of the House, and perhaps even the Senate, is yet another war.

The other thing skeptics say is that Bush would first have to obtain Congressional approval for an attack, as he did in the case of Afghanistan and (sort of) in the case of Iraq.

But while most legal scholars would agree that this is the case, the sad truth is that Bush, in his megalomania … thinks he doesn't need any approval.

Congress could--and should--also vote a resolution opposing an attack on Iran. At a minimum, this would give the generals and admirals, who reportedly are unhappy about the idea of an Iran War, a basis for opposing the president's mad scheme.
