Bush II rattling the sabers

Obama won’t hesitate to use force to “defend US.”

C’mon people, please. How is this guy in any way different from his predecessor?

That aside, we know now, due to some real journalism, that Isreali insider sources say that Iran’s nuclear program is compromised. Secondly, countries do not commit suicide, so that Iran’s only intent in procuring a bomb is as a deterrent.

We have our share of lunatics in power, as does Israel. But more and more as time goes on I am thinking that the whole purpose of the current war scare is to stop Iran from doing something that might seriously jeopardize the interests of our Mullahs, our Wall Street overlords. And the only thing that comes to mind is preservation of the dollar as the reserve currency for trading world oil – the petrodollar.

But it is about a real threat to power, so that an unprovoked attack on Iran is not out of the question. The most frightening aspect is that to achieve a quick and decisive victory, the War Department might decide that nukes are in order. They would use Israel for that purpose, of course, but there are so many unknown unknowns in such a strategy that civilization might be in serious jeopardy.

Or not. Who really knows?
