Plan Nine from Outer Space
Seymour M. Hersh’s New Yorker article, The Iran Plans, is getting a lot of publicity. Mr. Hersh reports on the Bush administration’s plan to attack Iran so at to eliminate Iran’s nuclear weapons capability. One contingency would be to use tactical nuclear weapons to destroy those hard to get targets deep underground. Besides destroying Iran’s nuclear capability, other military targets, such as training camps, would also be attacked.
President Bush and key officials also see this as an opportunity for moderate Iranians to rise up and force regime change in the country. How you get from nuking somebody to having them become your ally in forcing regime change is a mystery to me. However, the Bush administration does not live in the same universe as the rest of us who are stuck in the everyday world.
This is the next great idea brought to you by the folks who gave you Iraq. The truly scary part is that the lame duck Bush administration has no one to answer to. Congress has failed in controlling the most basic and blatant excesses of the Bush administration. Too few in that august body have the spine or the smarts to do anything about any plan nine from outer space the Bush administration hatches.
One, two, three repeat after me: impeach George Bush, and for golly sakes elect somebody to Congress who will help get the job done.

Here's the thing: to impeach Bush is to make him a martyr to the wingnuts. I'd rather see him languish and twist in the wind (politically, not literally -- just to clarify for the NSA, in case they're reading) so that even all those people with "W '04" stickers on their cars shake their heads and look away in disgrace. To end the lies, and pull back the veil of this administration, it must collapse under it's own moral and ethical decay. To push it will only distract those who are easilly confused and led astray.
epm,
Can we afford to wait that long? I don't think so.
I don't know. But there will be no impeachment -- nor even a censure -- without ousting the Republicans from the leadership in the House and Senate. Removing that rubber stamp alone could go a long way to cuffing the administrations overreaching, monarchical power grabs.
I'm surprised you hope for impeachment and yet claim not to believe in a higher diety. :) Exactly who are you counting on to bring the impeachment about? The American electorate? HA! Good one. :)
epm,
Yes, I do seem a tad inconsistent searching for cosmic justice while believing there is no such thing. :>)
However, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. Nobody gets my vote unless they promise, cross their heart and hope to die, boy scout's honor, they will support impeaching President Bush.
