I say bring on the nuclear holocaust. After all, nuclear proliferation is a snowball rolling downhill, and neither the U.S., Britain, Russia, China, France, India, Pakistan, nor Israel (can we be sure? Snark) will EVER give up their militarily dominant positions, and so the development of true WMD goes on and on. My generation’s greed via consumerism has bled the planet nearly dry, and all signs are that ‘dry’ is not a metaphor, but a reality that future H. sapiens will have to endure.

So Bring It On! and let’s give the rest of the life on Planet Earth a fighting chance. IMHO a nuclear nightmare is inevitable anyway.

The only reason I think Bush will in fact go is his obvious physical deterioration on the job.

If Bush tries to pull the dictator card and suspends what’s left of the Constitution, do you think the military would support him after he basically broke it?

I’m thinking that’s why Bush refuses to even discuss bringing back any troops from Iraq. He wants and needs them out of the country so his Blackwater Storm Troopers can take out what’s left of the military if they cause problems when martial law is declared.

If Bush/Cheney is actually thinking about this power play look for Iraq troop surges late in 2008 or putting troops on the ground in Iran. Either scenario would further lessen the resistance our military could mount to Blackwater.

If martial law scenario does happen, what happens if our military does try to come home in an effort to put down in what is in essence a coup? Blackwater vs. Military or Blackwater/Bush Military Supporters vs. Military opposition?

Strange to be thinking of such things when I was raised to think that I lived in “The Land of the Free” and not a banana republic.

I would think that most NRA members are there because they’ve been brainwashed about the second amendment. Who is in charge of the NRA right now? Anyone know? Is it a real American?

The leadership of the NRA is a completely different story from the rank and file of the NRA. I’m rural, surrounded by hunters and NRA lifetime members. They make me feel more secure, not less.

I’m urban…the ones around me like to fiddle with their guns on their front porches and complain about the N’s moving into the neighborhoods. I don’t enquire about their affiliation with the NRA, but they do have the decals on their trucks.

I believe those weapons are not “for conventional warfare with India” they are for conventional warfare with US troops in the region.

g.d., I hope I am wrong this time…..

Hi Eli,

Gee, I’m not worried. David Brooks told us tonight the US is taking a “principled stand” for democracy.

He explained how little influence we have from the outside and that we will take a Principled Stand, he musta said it three or four times so we all know it’s true.

If only we could take this same principled stand in regards to Iraq. Hmm.

Eli@156: It’s not the tortured syntax; it’s how much in demand things like:

“Now the best we can hope for is to try to eke out a non-worst-case option.”…are becoming.

:o)

Shitfire! With all the “missions” that these wizards are “accomplishing”, those words are way too valuable to be in the public domain.
:o)

We need to corner the market on ALL the different ways to describe the clusterfuck(s) and their denouement(s).

Dammit, there’s some serious money to made here. :o)

Go shoe-shopping with the leaders of other nations?

Go to Iraq and show them how it’s done.

Whatever happened to that Dupont guy who was sentenced for killing someone. Don’t know why I thought of him today. He was doing prison time…

Here.
And Schultz was a friend and client of mine. Awful thing.
