#2 Anybody have any ideas just how long this sick, stupid, senseless charade is going to be allowed to continue before somebody actually does something about the menace of Nuts With Nukes?

Sheesh...

#3 How long to proclaim 17 resolutions, the standard set by Saddam?

#4 If the Democrats don't regain power in November, look for GWB to flatten the Iranian nuke sites some time shortly thereafter.

#5 I'd dearly love to believe he'd do that, DMFD, but I've given up hope.

#6 un brilliantly extended the deadline from the proclaimed 8/22 to the 31st. This should give Prez Dinnerjacket a few laughs, and since it is pre-rejected, why not stir the pot now with a strongly worded demarche from France and get that out of the way too?

#7 We're going to see economic sanctions, a naval quarantine. and the feared oil weapon. No more gas for Iranians. There may even be some industrial accidents in the few refineries Iran does have. Let the Iranians handle it from there.

#8 Hmmm... Not to start grief, but with the exception of one possibility, I can't see why, Dave D.

Things seem to be shaping up for the sequence of confrontations needed to make the case to the US public and Congress. The Mullahs are being extremely helpful in so many ways, too.

I don't have access to the Bush timeline, and wouldn't say anything at all if I did, but the moment of truth clearly approaches, IMO. Whether it will occur per DMFD's prediction, is well beyond my poor info. That it will occur, however, I have no doubt - unless, and here's that one exception that worries me:

If the Dhimmicrats take control of the House in November. In that case, reality will surely be derailed -- dropping US foreign policy in the shitter. If that happens - we're fucked. Impeachment bullshit, the watered down resolution regards Iran will stand, and the focus will be forcibly shifted to inane domestic partisan bullshit and Tranzi appeasement... all of the stuff that simply doesn't matter if we lose the WoT. It will be a circus of fools running an appeasement festival of Tranzi surrenders and domestic boondoggles sure to make us all paupers. I believe I've read some comments from you that echo my pessimism, in this case.

If the Republicans hold the house, Iran's dead meat.

If they don't, we are.

#9 Heh. Your last two lines sum it up pretty well.

I'm not saying that what we're hoping for regarding Iran won't happen; I'm just saying I don't want to set myself up for a big disappointment.

#10 Ah, I get ya. I'm putting money into a few "key" House campaigns - against Murtha, for example. It seems we agree November will be a true pivotal moment in the history of the US. I admit I am pessimistic to put it at 50-50, so I'm doing what little I can.

See you on the other side. :)

#11 I sent Diana Irey $500 a couple weeks back. It felt good-- damn good.

#13 Dave D.- Excellent! $500 is a very very nice contribution. I hope she appreciates you! I'm not well off, but I'm up to half that much. :)

#14 IMO the best the Dems can hope to accomplish is to gain a few seats, not enuff to threaten or stifle GOP control or Right-leaning/centric GOP-Dem Moderates. The broad agenda for the DemoLeft is to get America under PC "justified" OWG and overt National Socialism which for the Clintons is Communism. CLINTONISM > America = Socialist Amerika is a SOCIALIST COUNTRY = PRO-SOCIALIST COUNTRY being led by the wrong type or kind of Socialists + wrong type/kind of Socialism. amongst other "straight arrow" = PDeniable, John Wayne = Jimmy Carter, Hitler = Stalin, etc. premises. Wid mediocre to failed domestic electioneering andanti-GOP efforts, the only thing/ace card the DemoLeft has left is "American Hiroshima(s)", i.e decapitation strike = PDeniable reactionary terror attack agz Dubya-GOP. Hillary and Co-POTUSes will rule becuz they weirdly and mysteriously survived the WMD attacks of Radical Islam-Terror as MSM-Leftpert verified caused by Bush-GOP. IFF ONE ACCEPTS THAT THE WOT IS A WAR BY AND FOR SOCIALISM = GLOBALISM, AS WELL AS AGAINST
"ISLAMO-FASCISM", DEMOLEFT > THE ANTITHESIS OF ISLAM-FASCISM IS ISLAMO-COMMUNISM. A WAR AGAINST FASCISM = WAR FOR COMMUNISM. Thus for the DemoLeft and MSM, FASCIST > both Hated Despicable Nazi-Hitlerists + Well-intentioned but defective and unruly imperialist, de-regulated, Limited Totalitarianist-Governmentist LEFTCOMMUNIST, AN ERROR-PRONE LIMITED MARXIST-STALINIST. ONE SIDE = ALL SIDES = NO SIDE(S), EVERYONE = ANYONE = NO ONE. Iff the Cold War=era USSR-Red China, but espec the USSR, were the in charge, Iran or any other nation would already be invaded iff not conquered, even as the diploms were conversing and debating before the People's Global Assembly at the Red Banner UNO. ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER, etal laws, protocols, or courtesies is for America and Western democracies, NOT THE ULTRA-LEFT USSR-RED CHINA. RADICAL ISLAMISTS + SECUALRISTS > WAR MUST OCCUR + USA SUFFER CASUALTY-INTENSIVE ATTACKS IN ORDER FOR ANTI-AMERICAN AMERIKANS-GLOBALISTS, etal ANTI-DEMOCRATIC GOVT-ISTS, CENTRALISTS, AND REGULATORY TOTALITARIANISTS-ABSOLUTISTS, TO HOLD PUBLIC OFFICE(S), to ensure OWG and that hyperpower America is IRREVOCABLY, PERMANENTLY SUBORNED UNDER SAME. Russia-China & SCO, aka Commie Asia, aka Mackinder's World Island of Eurasia, won't have to worry anout attaining "parity" wid hyperpower America + West circa 2030-2050 iff America + West no longer exists by Year 2015-2020, now won't they!? GORBACHEVISM > IFF THE USSR-COMMIE BLOC-EAST CANNOT SUCCCEED IN ACHIEVING THE POWER, WEALTH, AND STANDARDS OF THE US-WEST, THE US-WEST WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO THE LEVELS OF COMMUNISM = the EAST. GORBACHEVISM > INVERSE PARITY TO ACHIEVE SOLE SUPERIORITY-VICTORY, more contemporarily known as "THE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA", from FIRST WORLD to THIRD WORLD. FIRST WORLD AMERICA must be "constrained/controlled" by MOSTLY THIRD WORLD WORLD COMMUNITY = UNO. MALE BRUTE FASCISTS > defective lowly Rightist Authoritarians = also well-meaning Limited Totalitarianists, i.e COMMUNIST CAPITALISTS/COMMPITALISTS. America = Amerika's volunterr army is allowed to attack Iran-North Korea, BUT NOT WIN OR PREVAIL AGAINST SAME, UNTIL WASHINGTON COMMUNIZES-STALINIZES EVERYTHING BACK IN CONUS - you know, Lefties telling the Amer people/voter "the Truth" = Propanganda-PCorrectness.
