From a Seymour Hersch article that was posted at www.truthout.org

In recent weeks, the President has quietly initiated a series of talks on plans for Iran with a few key senators and members of Congress, including at least one Democrat. A senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, who did not take part in the meetings but has discussed their content with his colleagues, told me that there had been "no formal briefings," because "they're reluctant to brief the minority. They're doing the Senate, somewhat selectively."

The House member said that no one in the meetings "is really objecting" to the talk of war. "The people they're briefing are the same ones who led the charge on Iraq. At most, questions are raised: How are you going to hit all the sites at once? How are you going to get deep enough?" (Iran is building facilities underground.) "There's no pressure from Congress" not to take military action, the House member added. "The only political pressure is from the guys who want to do it." Speaking of President Bush, the House member said, "The most worrisome thing is that this guy has a messianic vision."

The peace movement has to get cracking on this. Truly, George Bush is obviously out of control and he and the neocons need to be stopped.

All can keep quiet
All peaceful in bubble
All just walk peacefully into it
Then ask HOW THE HELL DID IT HAPPENED

Oh yeah blame the half of the country that vote for bush
Good plan
Their fault

Just remember to send your children there by pure silence

because we do, because it is who we are,
to bomb and destroy at every patience,
distrupting the silent terrorist afar,
cone of echoing silence, chaos' control disgrace.

How the hell did it happen,
its about money in a plutocratic race,
war to grab the power of a billion men,
and do some crimes, democratic loss of face.

900 channels of fat jello mind,
rotting away on couches all across the place,
Uuhh, war is cool, invasion's fine,
underclass imprison the entire human race.
Bushliar stole his cheated little votes,
votefraudster felons no longer idly gloat.

(the "because we can", not the poetry):

Dubya is really whacked. They are definitely going to nuke Iran because there is no military strength left with Iraq falling apart to do otherwise. What a bunch of freakazoid losers. God help us all.

We can't let them get away with this again. :mad:

its WWIII
:nuke:

telling them they need to act now and stop this insanity. I told the rethugs (2) to step out of their partisan blind backing of * and do what they were elected to do: protect us.

We must put pressure on our representatives to do everything in their power to stop this.

I read the article in the New Yorker. At the time, I thought of Lieberman.

from above:

"no formal briefings," because "they're reluctant to brief the minority. They're doing the Senate, somewhat selectively."

Obama would consider missile strikes on Iran

Obama went to Conn. to give his whole-hearted support behind the Lieberman war team.
If you support war, you'd supprt Obama. And Lieberman.


If you don't....

and no option should be taken off the table because of the overt threat to Israel. He said this at a listening session in Saukville on Saturday.

The ruling party was really pissed that it had missed its June 2005 deadline for war with Iran. It's still about the oil. There is an area near the Iran/Iraq border that bushits want.

This Haliburton assistance came after a scientific study revealed that Iran was 10 years away from nuclear capability. So like a good traitor Haliburton was there to pump up Iran to a credible threat. What I don't get is how this story got squashed and what happened to the 17 separate criminal investigations on Haliburton that were going on at that time.

Other than Fitzgerald, I guess all other prosecutors got vaporized or the people above them changed to someone who play ball.

Halliburton Secretly Doing Business with Key Member of Iran’s Nuclear Team

by Jason Leopold

August 5, 2005

<snip>
Scandal-plagued Halliburton, the oil services company once headed by Vice President Dick was secretly working with one of Iran’s top nuclear scientists on natural gas related projects and, allegedly, selling the scientists’ oil company key components for a nuclear reactor, according to Halliburton sources with intimate knowledge of both companies’ business dealings.

Just last week a National Security Council report said Iran was a decade away from acquiring a nuclear bomb. That time frame could arguably have been significantly longer if Halliburton, which just reported a 284 percent increase in its fourth quarter profits due to its Iraq reconstruction contracts, was not actively providing the Iranian government with the financial means to build a nuclear weapon.

Now comes word that Halliburton, which has a long history of flouting U.S. law by conducting business with countries the Bush administration said has ties to terrorism, was working with Cyrus Nasseri, the vice chairman of Oriental Oil Kish, one of Iran’s largest private oil companies, on oil development projects in Tehran. Nasseri is also a key member of Iran’s nuclear development team.

“Nasseri, a senior Iranian diplomat negotiating with Europe over Iran's controversial nuclear program is at the heart of deals with US energy companies to develop the country's oil industry”, the Financial Times reported. Nasseri was interrogated by Iranian authorities in late July for allegedly providing Halliburton with Iran’s nuclear secrets and accepting as much as $1 million in bribes from Halliburton, according to Iranian government officials.

not under consideration. The question is war with Iran. All the same signs are there that preceded Afghanistan and Iraq.

We need to pull our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan and leave Iran alone to live in peace. Like Iraq, Iran is no threat to us. Those people have every right to live in peace and not have six-figure deaths like we gave Iraq.

withdrawal.

>>VERMILLION - Newt Gingrich, the former Republican Speaker of the House, told students and faculty at the University of South Dakota Monday that the United States should pull out of Iraq and leave a small force there, just as it did post-war in Korea and Germany.

"It was an enormous mistake for us to try to occupy that country after June of 2003," Gingrich said during a question-and-answer session at the school. "We have to pull back, and we have to recognize it."

5.9 billion a month down the crapper in Iraq is just a smidgeon of the financial nightmare for Iran.
Postponing the inevitable transition from an oil based economy to a different form of energy won't be postponed with this move, as the landscape would be so transformed that recovery of the oil goal would be so difficult that it would not be feasible. America's pants are down. We need to pull them up and realize that we are behind the energy eight ball by about 30 years because no one payed attention to the previous oil crisis. Instead of conserving at that time and looking for a way out, everyone bought SUVs and a bigger house. After Iran? That's a good question. I do not have an answer.

:sarcasm:

Keep fighting!

other off and many of our low income expendable people. Then the richies move in and take their oil.
