Why are you poking the bear? Don't you see how we've royally f-ed up Iraq for decades to come? (Meanwhile we'll be helping ourselves to their oil, thankyouverymuch) Don't you see that basically the rest of the world believes you are totally insane and will not tolerate you having nuclear weapons? I mean, really, you are a little unhinged over there.
Here in America, we're probably going to go out on a limb and assume our president is not lying to us...again about someone having nuclear weapons. It's because in the end there are two things...one, we'd all really like to believe our president and two, we think you are batshit crazy. You put is in an awkward position.
We have no qualms about coming over there, blowing your ass to smithereens, creating an unstable government and civil war and walking away with a few barrels of oil under our arm. Please don't make us do it. Give Condi Rice a call, tell her you are very sorry and that you think nuclear weapons are icky and you really like chocolate chip cookies or something.
Otherwise, you might as well put your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye. Either way, we don't give a shit, really. It's up to you.
All our love, see you at the PinkDome/ITPT party!
Pinkdome
I am.
Thanks for inviting Iran to the party. I could use a little enriched uranium in my Makers.
Hell, I hope we at least walk out with some oil to show for it.
Otherwise, what do we walk away with? A bunch of widowed soldier's wives?
thousands of surviving soldiers with crippling physical and mental injuries?
If we don't end up with some oil, then we've spent billions of dollars and lots of lives for nothing.
Keep in mind, the oil is far below the ground and as long as the weapons we use are clean we should be in good shape. We might have to jacket the pipelines from the well heads to the coast but there really shouldn't be any need for remediation of the oil.
one last thing... I'm not advocating a nuke attack on Iran, just pointing out that the reality is it can be done without damaging natural resources.
Dude, haven't you noticed that the Bushies are so incompetent that Iraq is actually producing less oil now than before the war started?

I thought you were smarter than the "its all about oil" argument.
