  •  But the Bushehr installation ... (none / 1)

    ...(still under construction) isn't even a reasonable target since any attempt to build nuclear weapons would not need or even use materiel from that operation. An attack on that site would do exactly zero to stop for one minute any putative nuclear weaponization plan by Iran. Most of the likely targets are deep within Iran.

    •  that would be true (none / 1)

      if the bush admin lived and worked by the rules of reality. besides Bushehr has the only nuclear energy college. bush could likely paint the college as some type of "axes of evil" wmd research facility or whatever nighmare scenario pops into their head that they think the American public will believe.

    •  mb, you are thinking, here - (none / 1)

      that is why your argument won't wash!  

      you used the word "reasonable" in context with people who aren't!

      there was nothing "reasonable" about attacking iraq!  there was nothing "reasonable" about linking bin laden with hussein.

      there was nothing "reasonable" about giving over to the tribal leaders the task of taking down bin laden...

      there is nothing "reasonable" about attacking iran - but the neos believe in it - planned for it - desire it - all written about in pnac.

      the end game isn't to take out the nuclear facilities or capability - the end game is to get into iran - and build their empire!

      the only problem with all of this is there is nothing "reasonable" about their stated outcome - there were no flowers for us in iraq, there will be no "acceptance" of our spreading our tentacles to other oil nations.  china has too much invested in their future to allow the u.s. to totally disrupt the flow of oil worldwide.  the rest of the world has too much at stake.

      i firmly believe the world is watching us to see where this nation goes in nov. - and if it doesn't go in the right correct direction, there are going to be massive economic consequences that could take down this nation in a millisecond!

      already, bonddad has been talking of our precarious economic position - the european markets are steering clear of our stocks - the currency shifting toward euros could wreak havoc to the dollar.  would the world do it?  

      you bet!  if world destabilization due to oil disruption by a u.s. powergrab looks eminent!
