Juan Cole gets it

a plan for hegemony or disaster

The neo-cons are at work... busy, busy, busy....
How coincidentally, how conveniently politics and world events dovetail.
Or by plan.
We are being taken for a ride, and who cares about the collateral damage.
Even if the collateral is our troops.
Those dead troops will be just another pretext for war.
So the neocons can drop their bomb on Iran.
Domination.
Murder.
These guys are sick with power.

Are they thinking what can happen in the Straits of Hormuz?

Juan Cole wrote a chilling piece on August 14 that every sane person should read. He's thinking, along these same lines... we are in deep sh*t and digging deeper. So the Neo-cons can establish their New World Order...

"Let me say this loud and clear, drawing on Pat Lang.
Any US attack on Iran could well lead to the US and British troops in Iraq being cut off from fuel and massacred by enraged Shiites. Shiite irregulars could easily engage in pipeline and fuel convoy sabotage of the sort deployed by the Sunni guerrillas in the north. Without fuel, US troops would be sitting ducks for rocket and mortar attacks that US air power could not hope completely to stop (as the experience of Israel with Hizbullah in Lebanon demonstrates). A pan-Islamic alliance of furious Shiites and Sunni guerrillas might well be the result, spelling the decisive end of Americastan in Iraq. Shiite Iraqis are already at the boiling point over Israel's assault on their coreligionists in Lebanon. An attack on Iran could well push them over the edge. People like Cheney and Bush don't understand people's movements or how they can win. They don't understand the Islamic revolution in Iran of 1978-79. They don't understand that they are playing George III in the eyes of most Middle Eastern Muslims, and that lots of people want to play George Washington."

Dubya can only keep pulling cards out of his sleeve for so long, and when his aces run out, we will pay. George never settles his own score, and he always comes out of every mess he makes richer and more privileged, with the suckers paying the tab.

I personally blame his parents for the way he was raised.
