'Bush gearing up to wage war on Iran'

I read about a month ago we were sending 'another' warship to the gulf, off Iran. Not as a show of force, but support--whatever that was suppose to mean. The next day, they then said they planned it to replace a ship leaving. Mostly, the articles were geared at what sounded like a lot of ships off the coast of Iran, 'watching it'! I tend to agree with boaz, probably has something to do with elections. The hostility toward Iran and N. Korea right now, as being 'more of a threat to democracy' than Iraq ever was has been a big issue! With the changing of politics in Pakistan and Afganistan--none of it sounds good. It sounds good to get out of Iraq and go next door with more support of the U.S.; and God forbid to do it for political intent! It looked real good for the Democrats taking over the White House, until the primaries--now, I feel a little restless, can there be a no lose ticket? As we thot a year ago?? who knows! If Bush could be tried for treason or at the least 'war crimes?' Sounds like a crap shoot!:(

i'm really just taking a wild guess, it just seems like something those sneaky bastards would do. :wtf:

Cheney Jr. pushes for war on Iran
Tue, 10 Jun 2008 12:47:36
Analysts maintain Liz Cheney's views reflect her father's perspective.
Former State Department official and daughter of Dick Cheney says Iran 'will face military action' if it does not halt its nuclear program.

Speaking at the American Israel Political Affairs Committee convention, Elizabeth Cheney said the time for diplomacy on Iran is 'rapidly coming to an end'.

Former deputy assistant secretary for Near Eastern affairs deplored the Bush administration over key elements of its Middle East policies, suggesting that the administration needed to adopt a tougher stance in the region.

"In my view, this administration has gotten it right when we have been bold, when we have been decisive, when we have been focused, when we have used our military force when necessary," Cheney said.

Cheney added that Washington must clearly declare that if Iranians "don't give up diplomatically [to United Nations demands that Iran freeze its nuclear program], they will face military action".

Iran has repeatedly asserted that as a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), it is entitled to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes and that has no intention to give up its inalienable rights.

The IAEA, in its latest report, certified the non-diversion of declared nuclear material in the country's nuclear activities. However, Washington with a blatant disregard for international reports continues to accuse Iran of pursuing a nuclear weapons program in a bid to justify the drumbeat for a war against the country.

CS/BGH

HELL YA, NUKE THEM ALL....

Fuck with the US and get ready to pay in blood

I have been wondering where the war is going to be and yesterday I decided I was going to put a thread in and ask where. My reason: I live in the landing flight plan for LAX; Since Feb. there have been few or no commercial aircraft above, just military training and groups of helicopters! That mean't war the last time I observed this! So, I figure it was in the air. Live near a few Air Force Base's! I am just not convinced Iran is the only spot, I think that lil sucker thinks he can take on the whole world! If you saw my sky last night, you would not believe it. No blue, just all white streaks from military jets. Use to be heavy traffic with commercial flights. Any one else seeing these kind of changes? pr:(
