Topic: Nuclear warfare
The Cheney gang is evidently confident that its fake apocalypse won't face significant opposition, as indicated by its recent statements that it doesn't give a damn what anyone else thinks. Another example appeared in Seymour Hersh's Nov. 27th New Yorker article entitled The Next Act, which states that Dick Cheney, in a NSC meeting, declared that no proof that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons is necessary in order to nuke it - just a "level of comfort in carrying out the mission." In other words, all that's necessary to unleash nuclear warfare on a non-nuclear country is to be a sociopathic (i.e. conscience-less) de facto President of the US, and a Synarchist/Satanist bankers' henchman who has been given a mission to destroy civilization.
Besides Cheney's latest mealy-mouthed excuse for destroying civilization (which attacking Iran would do), there's supposed evidence to support such a course of action: the current incarnation of the Office of Special Plans claims to have the usual exclusive, Likud/Fundy-approved source of inside information, which supposedly trumps whatever our actual intelligence agencies have. As usual, though, they're not allowing the intelligence agencies to scrutinize their supposed inside information.
So, not only is Congress apparently going to let Apopalyptic (apoplectic/apocalyptic) Dick nuke Iran "based" on lies, but on transparent lies! One wonders what sort of threat he delivered to Congress - that "the terrorists" would unleash a nuclear attack in the US if they don't allow "the terrorists" to nuke Iran? (Perhaps terrorizing Congress is the motive behind CNN specials which postulate myriad terrorism scenarios. As Bush loves to remind us, try as we might to uproot "the terrorists," they only have to succeed once. In other words, he's providing a pre-emptive excuse for a supposed failure to prevent "Islamic" terrorism.)
