WH: Not ruling out attack on Iran

[Killick]

There's tough talk, and then there's effin stupidity.

I don't understand. He's said there's no plan for it and wants to solve it diplomatically. What's the deal?

 

[hockeybeat]

The administration uses this as a blueprint:

 

[Point of Order]

The big deal is we're going to war with Iran.

 

[User 1019]

Oh, Lord. Here we go.

three bags, the problem is this white house thinks it has card blanche to do whatever they want under the umbrella of executive privilege. you're right, that's what was said. then asked about senators' comments that if they wanted to rumble with iran, it'd have to go through congress, the wh flunkie said 'not necessarily.' after everything that's gone on, surely you can see why that's makes folks a little jumpy?

 

[User 1019]

No, I can't. Do you honestly, sincerely believe we're headed to war with Iraq?

 

[spup1122]

I honestly think Bush will do anything to take away a little bit of attention from this failure we're seeing in Iraq. He did it with Afghanistan when he couldn't find Osama, and I think he'll do it again.

 

[Point of Order]

When stories have to be written with WH denying (but not ruling out) that we are going to war with Iran, bet your ass we're going to war with Iran, unless someone stops this runaway neocon train.

Think Nick Saban.

No, I can't. Do you honestly, sincerely believe we're headed to war with Iraq?

Yes, I think we're there already.

And I just heard him say that same thing on sixty minutes. Iran, Syria, the whole area is in play. Are you ready for a non-NFL draft?

 

[Point of Order]

We should let Iraq have Bush and his whole damn administration full-time. We'll get someone new here.

three-bags, i would hope not. but this admin's track record doesn't exactly inspire confidence. i just heard w on 60 minutes say he was one of the first people to say they didn't find wmd's in iraq. spit-take. reply should have been 'in what reality, mr. president?' he stubbornly kept saying, 'we're going to find them' for MONTHS while others were saying they're not there.

at this point, i can't determine if he's nefarious or deluded.

I not only believe we're going to war with Iran, I believe this president doesn't want to leave office without firing the first nuke.

 

[User 1019]

That was a yes-or-no question. Don't ramble. Considering the past few years, the situation we're now in, do you think we're headed to war with Iran?

I don't think that's what he meant. I think he meant that if we fail in Iraq, then the whole area is "in play" aka "up for grabs."

 

[Frank_Ridgeway]

We're all gonna die in nuclear attacks. But first our eyeballs will melt.

I know it was a typo. I'm just a smartass.

As to will we go to war with Iran, if it's going to happen it will be within the next two years. The next pres wouldn't be that foolish.

I don't think you heard him say, the area is in play (although I may be mistaken). I think he said if Iran and Syria send people into Iraq, we will deal with those people. He didn't say we're changing the oil in the tanks for a little trip.

And a non-NFL draft won't really affect me too much.

I'm sure, me neither, but what about those who it may.

 

[User 1019]

I'm pretty sure they don't have to worry too much.
