I keep thinking back to the Iran-Contra affair too and the double-dealings of Bush 1 and wacko Reagan,especially when it came to the delayed release of the hostages for election purposes and missiles being sold to Iran from the USA VIA Israel and the money going to pay the Contras !LOL!
What a mess.
These guys have got their fingers is so many politics-for-profit deals THEY don't even know who our friends are now.

Then,how America under Bush 1 gave Saddam billions of dollars to arm himself militarily and chemically and pressured Saddam,with lies,into invading Kuwait,WHICH was stealing Iraq oil in the first place by slant drilling! LOL!
Go figure!
The only wise move that ANY BUSH has ever made was papa Bush deciding not to chase Saddam from Saudi/Kuwait back to Baghdad as the American fundamentalist neo-cons wanted him to do.
These next few months to me are going to be very dodgy and we have to watch our 'public' servants like hawks before they pre-emptively drag us into another ILLEGAL,BANKRUPTING,and EVEN DEADLIER war,ALL BECAUSE the American neo-cons in office have their EYES and brains focused on taking control of Asia and its resources.
The stupidest move Bush and Cheney(and all their cohorts)EVER made was neglecting their OATH OF OFFICE and neglecting their Governmental jobs/responsibilities by allowing 9/11 to happen thereby sacrificing 3,000++ American(and other nationals) lives on 9/11,and now 4,000++ MORE American lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.
They left Iraq WIDE OPEN TO interference from Iran,something that Saddam would NEVER HAVE ALLOWED himself,because as a secular Muslim he loathed the more fundamentalist Islamists that Bush cleared the path for,to enter Iraq!
What a shi**y mess!
Saddam was,with Americas financial backing,a perfect barrier between Iran and Israel too. And good ole' boy Bush knocked down that barrier,letting ALL HELL break loose!
AND,I have a feeling that those damn neo-cons are STILL salivating at the possibility of America controlling Asia,stealing their resources,establishing IMPERIALISTIC military bases strategically,in trying to prevent fundamentalist Islam from reaching,on mass,the Mediterranean Sea,where the whole area has for decades,been relatively moderate and secular(Sunni but not Wahhabi as such).
I am still sure that Bush and Ahmadinejad are twin brothers LOL!
Watching and listening to one,is like watching and listening to the other! LOL!
I still find it mind-blowing that people like Bush and Cheney are STILL in the White House even,or Ahmadinejad is still posturing on his podium and spouting venom.
Our wackos should be ON TRIAL for war-crimes,neglect of National safety,and illegal manipulation of Congress and the Constitution,not to mention TOTALLY ignoring International UN Regulations and International NATO regulations.

I wouldn't trust Bush,Cheney,Amadinejad an inch,and I worry about their dangerous posturing damaging ALL citizens ON BOTH SIDES in the short run!
Both are fundamentalist,both are neo-cons of their own faiths and both want total control of Asia. WHO'S YER DADDY?
Nuke-ing each other will not give EITHER,ANYTHING of any value,just more hatred and bloodshed and THOUSANDS more innocent lives lost and maimed.
To say "all options are on the table" is brutal and neglectful of their OFFICE and their citizens,whom they pledged to "serve and protect".Yeh right!

Of course,"all options" SHOULD ALSO mean that polite diplomatic dialogue could,and SHOULD,be available as a defusing option.RIGHT?
In my books,common-sensically,this must always be the first option,then no-one can say we DIDN'T ATTEMPT PEACE FIRST!
But,we are talking about Bush and Ahmadinejad here so common-sense flies OUT of the political and moral window!
Bush never was one for ANY DISCUSSION which didn't confer with his DANGEROUS neo-con goals, regardless of what the American people want!

Jeeeez! I am so sick of seeing nut-jobs in our WACKO White House!
Peace,Salaam,Shalom!

This is an excellent analysis except I do not know who I hate more: Bush or Ahmadinejad. Both are wackos and I am not so sure that wacko #1 won't take on wacko # 2 since he is basically daring him. There is still half a year left for Bush and a lot of ugly things can happen.

This week, President Bush repeated his standard refrain of, "all options are on the table" when asked about Iran at a press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. This veiled threat to Iran seems of little concern to Ahmadinejad. If anything the Iranian president has been mocking Bush's threats, saying "Bush's time is up, and he was not able to harm even one centimeter of our land." He went on to describe an attack on Iran by Bush as "wishful thinking."
