I was just reading this couple days old article that was linked to in some other diaries about Bush Iranorama fantasies.

update: "Sorry to throw a wet blankie on this little blogfire..."but its been pointed out to me the story above has been debunked.
But the translation I offer of Bush's most recent attention getting message for us came before I saw the article. So I'm still wagering. Any takers?
I predict Bush will attack Iran after the congressional elections. He knows an attack before would affect the election dramatically, so he'll not foul it for the Republicans any more than he has.
But I am almost convinced that the bastard is preparing for an attack after the election. Because if Republicans keep congress in complete control, he'll say his party has been given the blessing of the American people ... I just bet the bastard is going to steal this one too.
But with the Democrats taking back Congress, or at least the House, Bush knows that come the changing of the guard his leash will be yanked very very hard, and congress will begin investigations, make it very clear he has no "authority" to do what he has been doing, and the slippery slope his polls are on, once the light starts to shine in on what exactly has been going on, will steepen into the abyss. He can't act after the revolution.
Play around with context in your mind on this quote:
"I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is -- my point is, there's a strong will for democracy. "
The final history? For who? Bush has become the symbol of the Iraq war. sounds fatal, like Republicans re-election chances?
Why will Iraq look like a comma? Because the real story will be Iran. What else could make Iraq look so small?
Whose point is it? His point. There is a strong will for democracy by who? Himself. He knows he is strong willed if anything, now wearing it like a badge of honor more than ever.
Democracy means war in George Bush's mind. "Democracy and Freedom are on the march." The image of soldiers is associated in his mind with Democracy (large numbers of soldiers in my mind). This is a man who believes it is his responsibility to prepare the middle east for the Son of God. He believes that Jesus will ditch his robe, sandals and donkey for a flight suit, Raptor, and 5 stars on his collar.
It's very easy to justify that fantasy when in the real world Iran appears to be threatening the US with a nuclear attack. It is Georges last chance to save us from it if the Terrori... I mean Democrats get back into control. God won't let that happen, and if he's the only man to stop it...
"God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them." 06.25.03
His earliest chance to attack Iran is in November. Picture Thanksgiving dinner watching Shock and Awe II on your TV while gnawing on that big thick tender juicy flavorful piece of Turkey meat...
