Which all goes back to my theory that we will be at war with somebody, either Iran or N. Korea, by Sept. 2004. This last military campaign was rather closely timed to last fall's Congressional elections. The junta was ready to go to war with Iraq at the end of last year. The only reason they didn't was due to George I and James Baker, amongst others, pleading with Fearless Leader to seek international support.
Watch for the drums of war to begin beating more loudly next summer. After all, what's wrong with creating situations where Americans are killed daily if it ensures re-election?
By way of example, from the BBC today comes this:
"US President George W Bush has accused Iran and Syria of continuing to support terrorism and warned the US may take action.
In one of his strongest recent threats to Iran and Syria Mr Bush, speaking in Texas, said their behaviour was "completely unacceptable" and that any state which continued to support terror "will be held accountable".
He also said their actions hampered peace efforts in the Middle East, calling terrorism "the greatest obstacle to the creation of a Palestinian state"." |
I'm not so sure the public will fall for this twice in two years. I could be wrong, but it seems that even many of the Bush supporters who do not openly admit their doubt about this war still hold some reservations about it.
