Poll question: I truly think that if we hadn't won in November, Bush would be bombing Iran now
And WWIII would have started, along with his popping some tactical nukes to show the world he has the biggest dick in history. Maybe this guy WANTS to go down in history as the worst President ever.


So here is the question very simple and straightforward.


Would Bush have bombed Iran (by now) if we had not won majorities in Congress in November 06.

2. Unless shrub led the bombers in, in which case we'd hit Singapore.

4. Maybe New Orleans, he hates it more than anything
A criminal shame a city like New orleans should still be in ruin, but the douche bag will drop hundreds of millions on foreign lands who hate us.

7. Agreed. I was hinting at his geographical ineptitude rather than his disdain
for anything decent such as New Orleans.

3.  I fear he may still do this
I feel they may have been slowed down a bit but all is still on the table as you know .

Suddenly we don;t hear anything about the carrier groups sitting in the gulf and Sy Hersh is no longer in the news . This has been over taken by the Libby trial and Walter Reed .

5. IA, the benefits of that victory could be hard to see but they are
highly negative in the sense of being about what would have happened without it that is not happening, such as bombing Iran, further inroads on the Bill of Rights and other more serious things.

8. Well, the guilt factor is coming into the picture too
FBI PA abuses, Alberto Gontorture's prosecutors scandals. the credit card companies folding the day before the hearings on really bad practices.

6. There's a problem with your poll: Bush still has power
As long as he is Commander-in-Chief, he can still marshal forces to attack Iran.

He just needs the US Navy and the US Air Force to bomb Iran back into the Stone Age if the US Army and the Marines are stuck in Iraq.
