Will Iran bombing plan for June (according to Scott Ritter) provoke...
a pre-emptive strike by Iran on US or Israeli soil?

Sometimes I wonder if the US is invulnerable to a nuclear attack.

Not because it can't be done but because such an event would immediately set in motion a nuclear retaliation that would turn the Middle East into a nuclear fireball.

For that reason I believe that any retaliation against the US will most likely be a conventional attack.

The fact that I even address such an issue is proof (at least to myself) that this fascist group in Washington has made us ALL less safe and placed us all in more danger than we have ever been.

Diplomacy to the Bush fascists is like kryponite to Superman.

1. That is something i have wondered about too.
Is the combined nuclear capability of the rest of the world at a strenght that could defeat the USA?

2. US has 10,000 nuclear weapons ready
The earth, as we know it, would not survive a fraction of those exploding.

5. It's seven minutes to midnight
The current time on the doomsday clock. I haven't thought of that since the last time it was moved up about two years ago.

3. The combined ecoomic capability
Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 08:10 PM by Wright Patman
of the world COULD defeat the U.S. economy, which is nothing more than leveraged smoke and mirrors anyhow at this point.

Once this begins to occur (and it may already be beginning), my bet is that the Anglo-American axis will not go down without unleashing its nuclear arsenal so as to render large parts of the planet uninhabitable.

Then the survivors will emerge from their bunkers and enjoy what's left of the oil. They'll just issue trillions of new debt and begin the cycle anew. Many in the elite do not like the fact there are more than six billion "useless eaters" consuming "their" resources to begin with.

Has anyone calculated which war machine has already killed more people than any other? I would guess it's that same A-A axis.

To these people, peace is hell.

6. I suspect the next attack on the Us will not be nuclear but biological
Most of the countries we are concerned with have very very good education systems. They are very strict with their children and make them study hard. They have little time for TV or video games. A few Typhoid Mary's traveling throughout the US would create quite some havoc. It would indeed be terror if we can't trust the air we breathe. Bush* has pushed the envelope and given out the impression that they are on limited time so should make hay while the sun shines. I think biological agents would be far less easy to trace. We know already that they can not even tell where the anthrax came from in the Sept attacks or who sent it. Biological attack would also throw a wrench into our economy. People would be less apt to do much mixing and mingling.

7. ritter says all hell will break loose
the very next day, all over the world. You have to understand that Iraq was basically defenseless, harmless. iran, OTOH, is the center of a world-wide terroist organization, and WILL fight back with waht's attheir disposal.
