Having spent the past four years turning Iraq from a despotic backwater commanded by a dictator with a 30-year record of not attacking America into the world headquarters for America-hating terrorist recruitment and training, is there anyone out there who doubts that the Weakener-in-Chief will not now do what he can to bolster and strengthen the America-hating elements in neighboring Iran?
Remember, the most precise guide to the foreign policy behavior of the Bush Administration has been simply to imagine what America can do to lift up Osama and let him soar. From attacking Afghanistan but letting Osama escape, to attacking Osama’s sworn enemy Saddam Hussein, to failing to mount a serious rebuilding effort in Afghanistan and perfectly executing a troop-light and rebuilding-light occupation of Iraq that allowed plenty of time for resentment and America-hate to build while providing no security or any other benefit to the people of Iraq — the Bush Administration’s response to 9/11 in every particular has been carefully calculated to please and strengthen Osama bin Laden, while weakening America.
Since we know that bombing Iran would serve the Weakener-in-Chief’s difficult-to-understand but plain-to-see twin goals of weakening America and strengthening America-hate and terrorism, we can be sure that the Weakener-in-Chief will do it.

Wait a minute ! Does this January 2009 "resolution" assume that simply putting the National Democratic Party back into the White House is going to help modify the war goals of the U.S. ? We will need new leaders of the Party; or a Third Party. There is little indication that the present "leaders" of the Democratic Party are politically against continuing the US-initiated wars in the Middle East or elsewhere.

Posted by: Wayne Uff on April 10, 2006 12:42 PMYes---Good point !---a "non-Neocon" Republican administration in 2009 may recognize and actualize a more prudent conduct of USA domestic security policy in war/international politics than would occur under a Democratic administration.

You're so right. Our problem isn't Republicans per se, but the neo-cons. Well, the neo-cons and the idiot.
Every time someone says something like Jack Straw did, that it would be crazy to invade Iran, my first thought is we have just the idiot to do something that crazy.
