All you guys who have no clue what Bush is really up to... - GoFuckYourself.com

Pick up the current issue of the New Yorker and read Seymour Hersh's article on Iran.

It's bloody ugly. That bastard is really going to start bombing Iran. The strategy is laid out already, and as has been widely reported, Bush has special ops teams completely beyond the reach of Congress (ie they can do what they want) wandering around Iran setting up the when and where.

God help us if he goes ahead. No American will be safe ever again on foreign soil, let alone at home.

And if you want some sense of what's really happening in Iraq, read this interview with Hersh:

Hersh broke the story about special ops and it was reported widely in the media as a sound bite. The full story is even more scary.

I dont know what Bush is up to, but I dont read articles in papers and magazines and run around screaming the sky is falling.

But, most of GFY seems to enjoy that sort of activity, as widely reported.

If Bush goes ahead and attacks Iran, you can bet that you are just beginning to understand what the word "extreme" will mean.

"The immediate goals of the attacks would be to destroy, or at least temporarily derail, Iran?s ability to go nuclear. But there are other, equally purposeful, motives at work. The government consultant told me that the hawks in the Pentagon, in private discussions, have been urging a limited attack on Iran because they believe it could lead to a toppling of the religious leadership. ?Within the soul of Iran there is a struggle between secular nationalists and reformers, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the fundamentalist Islamic movement,? the consultant told me. ?The minute the aura of invincibility which the mullahs enjoy is shattered, and with it the ability to hoodwink the West, the Iranian regime will collapse??like the former Communist regimes in Romania, East Germany, and the Soviet Union. Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz share that belief, he said.

?The idea that an American attack on Iran?s nuclear facilities would produce a popular uprising is extremely illinformed,? said Flynt Leverett, a Middle East scholar who worked on the National Security Council in the Bush Administration. ?You have to understand that the nuclear ambition in Iran is supported across the political spectrum, and Iranians will perceive attacks on these sites as attacks on their ambitions to be a major regional player and a modern nation that?s technologically sophisticated.? Leverett, who is now a senior fellow at the Saban Center for Middle East Policy, at the Brookings Institution, warned that an American attack, if it takes place, ?will produce an Iranian backlash against the United States and a rallying around the regime.

Invest in companies which produce Canadians flags for americans to wear when they travel abroad.

This is not a new trend by any means - this has been going on for years. Many americans deny being americans when they travel to Europe and even go around wearing Canadian flags clearly posted on their bags and clothing.

It's a regrettable, but clear indicator of how absurd the whole situation is.
