When messianic apocalyptic Neocons step out into the street with apocalyptic Shiites the gunfight will be ugly. The ultimate showdown at the Middle Eastern OK corral is on the Bush Administrations agenda these days, according to investigative reporter Seymour Hersh in his recent article in the New Yorker magazine. In his article, Hersh reiterates and expands on his previous reporting concerning US plans for yet another preemptive war.
This time it is Iran in Bush's gun sight- although Cheney may accidentally shoot at them. President Bush has already sent in his scouts to make contact with the friendly natives, as well as to identify enemy encampments. President Bush is already plying the non-hostiles with the liquor of "freedom" and trinkets of "free trade." The rational for rounding up the unfriendlies and putting them on the reservation is to prevent them from acquiring nuclear weapons. Given the Iranian's War Chief Ahmadinejad's, proclivity for fomenting unrest with our ally Israel with his asinine and ludicrous dreams for their destruction, a showdown seems all the more likely. Hopefully the Iranian's medicine man, Ayatollah Khamenei, is more in control of the situation within Iran than its President.
Unfortunately I do not trust any of them, especially our own deceitful administration that has admitted that nothing including the use nuclear weapons is off the table. A Texas Ranger with an itchy trigger finger and nuclear weapons in his holster scares the hell out of me. If the horsemen of the apocalypse stop to make their play the only real winner is going to be the undertaker.
