Over The Edge

You think I'm over-reacting, don't you . . . ?

C'mon, c'mon, say it. Chaeli, we are not witnessing the beginning of the apocalypse.

Yet, if Sy (Seymour) Hersh's information is correct and Morton Halperin, a former State Department Official, assures us that Hersh's reporting over the last few years has been extraordinarily accurate, we are all about to be blown up! And if that isn't an apocalypse, I don't know what is.

OK. So I may have extrapolated some facts with a wee bit of exaggeration when making the statement: we are all about to be blown up; however, it's not so far off the mark that we can discard it out of hand.

According to Hersh's contacts in the Pentagon, there is a growing conviction among members of congress, senators, government defense officials, government consultants, members of the US military and the international community, that President Bush's ultimate goal is a nuclear confrontation with Iran.

Evidently, the only item in question is which method Bush will use to start the Iran war.

The plan currently favored is: striking twenty-six suspected nuclear sites combined with a campaign of bombing and use of cruise missiles to level targets well beyond nuclear facilities, such as Iranian intelligence headquarters, Iran's air defense system , the Revolutionary Guard and the air force.

That's right, folks. Outright WAR.

Anyone who watched the first night's bombing of Iraq on TV has a vivid image of what Bush is planing to do to Iran. Another innocent country.

Bush's proposed war on Iran does not sit well with the European nations. Britain's Foreign Minister, Jack Straw, pretty much sums up the world attitude towards Bush's war proposal: "The idea of a nuclear strike on Iran is completely nuts."

But that's not all folks.

The fact, according to a House member, that Bush believes he has messianic powers is the crucifix that should terrorize us to the very depths of our soul.

This president who has been given unmitigated power has become mentally unhinged. For Bush is quite insane when he states that it is his legacy to be Iran's savior. Gimme a break. As one government defense official asked: "What are they smoking?"

And doesn't it scare you just a little bit when Bush, as quoted by one of Hersh's sources, says he must do "what no Republican or Democrat would have the courage to do"?

This man, George W. Bush, is delusional. I know we're not supposed to use clichés, yet lest there be any misunderstandings, this cliché states the fact boldly: the man is a certifiable basket case. And we, like obedient little lambs, are following the lead of a madman.

We need to STOP this and do something immediately to save Iran from this self-proclaimed Messiah.

If we don't, we can all curl up in the corner chair with a copy of Revelations in hand and watch the apocalypse unfold.
