When 9/11 happened - Bush was overthrown wasn't he?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060408/wl_mideast_afp/usirannuclearmilitary

"One former defense official said the military planning was premised on a belief that "a sustained bombing campaign in Iran will humiliate the religious leadership and lead the public to rise up and overthrow the government," The New Yorker pointed out."

A bombing campaign will only serve to unite the people behind its government (rally around the flag effect). These assholes in the Bush Administration must know this, or do they?

Look what happened here on 9/11. A few planes fly into buildings and the country rallied behind the unelected, court appointed pResident of the White House.

What do you think a "sustained" bombing campaign will do in Iran?

The "Adolph Hitler" references apply to this friggin asshole in the White House more so than in Iran.

1. I HATE this "bomb them till they overthrow their government" crap
They used it against Cuba and Iraq. Just cause massive amounts of suffering to them until they do our bidding.

This is genocidal talk. Our own government shouldn't say things like this.

2. On 9-11, the PNACers got their *new Pearl Harbor*
It was even bigger and better than the original Pearl Harbor. And then the debt pipes were opened full throttled.

They know what they're doing. And they don't care about consequences, because they control consequences.

4. they don't control consequences they're insulated
they won't be the ones dealing with nuclear fallout, they will be safe in their bunkers
crying crocodile tears for their brave fellow Americans who have died to give GWB a
mandate for his everlasting terror war.
