War may come sooner than you think, enjoy your cheap gas

Thom Hartmann said something ironic and chilling on his program a few days ago.
Remember how in the form of gallows humor we used to say, 'well, at least we still have the third amendment, we still are safe from having to keep British soldiers in our homes...'?
Not so funny any more... Dubya's Baghdad Clear and Hold plan involves billeting soldiers in Iraqi homes to facilitate clearing the neighborhoods. No joke.
We continue with the Freedom Agenda.

I think they're setting up the playing pieces. They've moved a third battle group into the theatre, they're building those 14 permanent bases as fast as they can (maybe that 9 billion didn't vanish into thin air?), they're playing word games with Israel like they did with Saddam in 91, they're setting up Iran with provocations like kidnapping their diplomats, drones invading sovereign Iranian airspace, the propaganda about nuclear war is flying fast and furious in the corporate media. When they drop the bunker busters on those undetectible unknown unknowns as a Presidential perogative to preemptive invasions we'll all breathe a sigh of relief that "at least it wasn't radioactive weaponry." I hope. Killing a million people in a week from nuclear fallout is a heavy sin to commit and bear, just because we want our oil.
We've been in Iraq for a few years and it took us that long to kill over 600,000 of their citizens, to spread democracy.
