Israel and Leba-nin

I don't thinkt they'll go nuclear first but I also don't think they'll dick around too long before they do.

 

if one gets shot at them, they will return with nukes. they have said as much. or if threatened by Tehran - with nukes - they may go ahead. I sure hope not, but they might as a pre-emptive stop to Iran. that would be some shit.

 

If all of us do get drafted, I'm challenging dog to a bare-knuckles throwdown at wherever we're stationed.

 

I think there are three nuclear-capable (or close to it) countries that would be dumb/crazy/suicidal enough to launch a first strike -- Iran, Israel, and North Korea. Sadly, two of the three are involved in this little drama. Fortunately, Iran doesn't seem to have nukes yet. And I would think the U.S. would be able to keep Israel from escalating things to that level, because once a nuke goes off it's all over. The worrisome part is if al Qaeda or some such group somehow gets their hands on a nuke and sets it off in Lebanon, Israel or Iran ... hell, even Pakistan or India. They're quietly having trouble over there, too. Then the blame starts flying from one country to the next and it's all out war before anything can stop it.

 

You're an optimist.

Gas will be at least $4 by Labor Day, and that's assuming there's no major hurricane. Meanwhile, the oil companies will continue to rake in record profits.

 

Arm-a-geddon the hell outta here!

This gives me the shivers.  Wish those crazy fuckers would stop killing each other.  But when you think of what violent, underachieving fucks people are, it's amazing we've made it for 60 years without using nukes on each other.

Mutually Assured Destruction was insane on a certian level, but on another level it kept the peace, with the obvious exception of proxy wars.  Now, not so much...

 

Yeah, I like to look on the sunny side of things
I hope there's a special place in hell reserved for oil speculators.

 

We need more folks like you Batman! Now go reel in The Joker. He goes by the name of Bush, I believe.

 

Heh...I actually voted for Bush twice. And if one of those Democrat assclowns ran again, I'd do it again. The worst thing that happened to Bush was getting elected the way he did in 2000. He could've been a good president, and his temperament is the right one for the times, but it's hard to do the job with half the country working to thwart your every move.

 

Omigod, I just puked.

 

. . . sorry, I fainted.

. . . sorry, I fainted again.

 

It's the "His temprament is the right on for the times" comment that makes it art.

No one has ever been more wrong about anything. Ever. About anything.

EVER.
