Round 2 - Iran



"...Fool me once, shame on you...." - you know the rest...
The Senate is now taking actions to prevent President Bush from starting another fiasco in Iran, a very smart move (even though it cost thousands of lives in Iraq for it to finally seep in) for the Senate. This is in response to the President's push in that direction by linking the Iraq Fundamentalists with Iranian supporters. Good for George ! He's finally taking this strategy thing a little bit more serious than last time ! Sadly though he still has to master the art of timing and foresight....

President Bush has been too late in calling Iran on this one, and now every bi-partisan member in the Senate is pushing for a bill that will put his Texas drawl in its place, and prevent him from waging another campaign in Iran. If people out there aren't certain he could pull it off even with an election coming up in a year, think about the 21,500 troops he wants to send out to die and that he's been quoted as saying : "
The war on terror will be a problem for the next president. Presidents after me will be confronting ... an enemy that would like to strike the United States again...."(Associated Press). So Georgie, doesn't care about who follows him and what shit hole he leaves them in. This is a game with toy soldiers, tanks, and airplanes for him.

Iran will definitely be the next country to be looking at (if the next president will leave Iraq to solve it's own problems and destroy itself), especially with the threat of nuclear power in a country practically sitting on black (IE. Oil) money. And despite what the Senate thinks it should do to prevent the current President from acting on it, this problem won't solve itself and will have to be acknowledged eventually. But even great generals have to focus on the now, especially when it's a huge trash pile named "Iraqi Freedom".

I, and the American public, shouldn't be outraged at this action by the Senate, especially since this is a countermeasure against the possibility of another bloody and costly war. A strategy is finally taking place in government, and I for one am happy that somebody has at least learned from their mistakes.

"...you fool me, you can't get fooled again..."

Amen, Mr.President....

Octavian
