He's not leaving until he gets to push the red button

Cheney urging military strikes on Iran

WASHINGTON — President Bush charged Thursday that Iran continues to arm and train insurgents who are killing U.S. soldiers in Iraq, and he threatened action if that continues.

At a news conference Thursday, Bush said Iran had been warned of unspecified consequences if it continued its alleged support for anti-American forces in Iraq. U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker had conveyed the warning in meetings with his Iranian counterpart in Baghdad, the president said.

Bush wasn't specific, and a State Department official refused to elaborate on the warning.

Behind the scenes, however, the president's top aides have been engaged in an intensive internal debate over how to respond to Iran's support for Shiite Muslim groups in Iraq and its nuclear program. Vice President Dick Cheney several weeks ago proposed launching airstrikes at suspected training camps in Iraq run by the Quds force, a special unit of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to two U.S. officials who are involved in Iran policy.

Just what does Cheney think will happen when he makes the Air Force bomb Iran? Does he think Iran and the Islamic world will sit there and take it? Does he think we will be stunned into silence? Just what does Cheney think will happen?

I will own all the oil in the world.....

The few annointed and the masses. The upper class and the poor. The superior and the inferior.

Obviously the poor will fight in the Eternal War for Oil and Profit.
