Bush, Chenny, Rumy, Powell, and Rice said Iraq is our biggest threat.

3 years ago they had 9/11 as an emotional bludgeon.

Today he has three years of a war in Iraq which over 55% of the American people now say wasn;t worth it.

Bush could have two purely republican houses of Congress and he still could not sell a land war in Iran to the public.

He is also missing the manpower necessary to do so anyways.

I don't think this one will be land war. I think it will be an Air war.

And not successfully, um, .... ever.

I have changed my mind:

Now I think Iran wants no bomb at all. They're irritatingly bargaining for a good deal to make civil nuclear eenrgy as cheap as possible. The cheaper it is for them, the higher is their gain in opting for nuclear energy for home use and to sell their oil and gas abroad.

If they really wanted a bomb, they'd have been more clandestine about it.

Similar for Kim.

Except for that expedition in 1917 chasing after Pacho Villa.

I strongly doubt that DPRK has any nuclear devices. There is no record of North Koreans making nuclear tests.

We'll send in Swiss and Finnish shock troops to take care of any pesky Canadian hockey teams... they make Canadian Hockey players seem absolutely powerless

What did I just say? They have none, they're not trying to get any, it's not in their best interest.

That sounds so familiar.
