Weekly Standard Editor: President Bush Will Attack Iran Without Authorization From Congress If Barack Obama Begins To Smoke Señor Panama John McCain In The Polls
Well, to be honest, Bill Kristol didn’t exactly admit the fact that should President “Surge” W. Bush choose to attack Iran at his own discretion minus the (so-called) “New Democratic” Congress’ consent, it would be yet another felony; perhaps even prosecutable as a “war crime”. Not a “small fact”, that one, by the way.
Yep, good ole’ “Billy Boy” just skipped over that part; just hinted that his fellow neoconservative pals in the White House might just be prone to asserting those “Kingly Executive” powers to wage a war against Iran if it were to look “bad” for the ONLY Panamanian-born U.S. Senator and/or presidential “wannabe” in the history of the United States of America — Señor McCain. Perhaps, Bill and George believe such an act would be prudent and legal, but that’s irrelevant since “ignorance” is not “bliss” when it comes to enforcement of THE LAW. “Good ole’ boys”? Who GIVES a damn. Even a “Good ole’ boy” deserves a waltz with a cellmate by the name of “Bubba” or “Rastus”, wouldn’t you agree?
In fact, Think Progress does a very good job as usual of reflecting the exact nature of the outrageously believable theory of Bill Kristol…
Kristol: Bush Might Bomb Iran If He ‘Thinks Senator Obama’s Going To Win
On Fox News Sunday this morning, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol said that President Bush is more likely to attack Iran if he believes Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) is going to be elected.
However, “if the president thought John McCain was going to be the next president, he would think it more appropriate to let the next president make that decision than do it on his way out,” Kristol said, reinforcing the fact that McCain is offering a third Bush term on Iran.
“I do wonder with Senator Obama, if President Bush thinks Senator Obama’s going to win, does he somehow think — does he worry that Obama won’t follow through on that policy,” Kristol added. …”
(Snip!)
The claim that Obama’s potential election could force Bush’s hand also isn’t new. Earlier this month, far-right pseudo scholar Daniel Pipes told National Review Online that “President Bush will do something” if the Democratic nominee won. “Should it be Mr. McCain that wins, he’ll punt,” said Pipes.
Both Kristol and Pipes apparently agree with President Bush’s claim in March that McCain’s “not going to change” his foreign policy. …”
It really isn’t too “far-fetched” to think Bill Kristol is correct in his theory, or more likely, “insider info” on the President’s intention to, almost, “wag the dog”. I have been expecting President Bush or his co-hort, Vice President Dick “Shotgun” Cheney to commit an obvious war crime by attacking Iran just to help fellow neocon, Señor McCain, get elected anyway. I assure you, I am not alone in thinking it is a mere matter of time before this happens. On the other hand, it’s not too late to impeach these people (Cheney and Bush) for the numerous “high crimes and misdemeanors” they have committed while disguising themselves as “co-leaders of the free world” before they can go onto “bigger and better”, EXTREMELY LUCRATIVE (in the case of Dick Cheney, for certain) things.
After all, the Bush-Cheney “Big Oil & Nation Buildin’ Bidness” is alive, well, and coming to a third-world, oil-rich country near you SOON. And we can COUNT on Señor McCain to keep that “Big Oil & Nation Buildin’ Coinage” continuing their “cha-chink”, “cha-CHINK!” sounds in the corporate, Oligarchical coffers of the politicians whom benefit the most from them. Last but not least, should this play out, I suggest The Weekly Standard and its editor be investigated THOROUGHLY for their possible participation in such an illegal scheme to defraud the American People.
Stay tuned…

Andrew Sullivan of The Daily Dish (The Atlantic), questions whether this could be “The Mother Of October Surprises…”
The Carpetbagger Report: “… All of this is, of course, a friendly reminder that when it comes to sticking to the status quo, and offering more of the same on international relations, Bush is counting of John McCain delivering four more years just like the last eight.”
Crooks and Liars: “… We should ask William the Bloody where that WarPorn chat room is… A bunch of warmongers have been speculating on Bush’s plans to attack Iran for quite sometime.”
The Raw Story offers the YouTube video…
DownWithTyranny!: “… One of the unofficial Bush Regime spokesmen, Neocon propaganda shill Bill Kristol, was on Fox today doing some saber-rattling for McBush. He said that Bush would rather leave McCain to finish his policies in the Middle East– more war… “
Blue Girl, Red State: “… no one talks about Algeria or Taiwan like this, do they? No one talks about the fact that Brazil, South Africa, Argentina, Spain, Romania, or South Korea could probably beat the Iranians in the race to get a weapon if they put forth that same herculean effort. How seriously do you take a country like Iran when they’re largely incapable of doing anything other than talking and repressing their own people? …”

Bombing Iran might just bring some stability to the region.
