Tell me again why he's still in power?

So, news is starting to filter in that an unstable Afghanistan isn't enough for Dubya and Dick, and the smoldering, blood soaked ruins of Iraq isn't either.

Nope, they're gonna go for the hat trick:

The shift [in Iran policy] follows an internal review involving the White House, the Pentagon and the state department over the last month. Although the Bush administration is in deep trouble over Iraq, it remains focused on Iran. A well-placed source in Washington said: "Bush is not going to leave office with Iran still in limbo."

The vice-president, Dick Cheney, has long favoured upping the threat of military action against Iran. He is being resisted by the secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, and the defence secretary, Robert Gates.

Last year Mr Bush came down in favour of Ms Rice, who along with Britain, France and Germany has been putting a diplomatic squeeze on Iran. But at a meeting of the White House, Pentagon and state department last month, Mr Cheney expressed frustration at the lack of progress and Mr Bush sided with him. "The balance has tilted. There is cause for concern," the source said this week.

You're absolutely friggin' right there's cause for concern! We CANNOT sustain a three front war like this! The Army's already straining under the weight of Iraq, ready to break... and they want to go and attack an even bigger country that can defend itself that has allies that we don't want dragged into a conflict?!

GAH!!!

What's it gonna take George? Dick? You do this, and there truly is NO going back for the United States. We won't have any friends. We'll be looked at as a leprous country that will shoot you to death if you glance at us funny. Or we get a theocratic Pakistan that has a nuclear arsenal terrorists would just love to write our cities' names on them. Or worse... we'll piss off the already testy Russians and Chinese, both of whom have ties to Iran and rather affective nuclear stockpiles. The implications of this attack for America... for the world... are beyond imagination.

I honestly don't know why you invaded Iraq anymore. I have my suspicions, but I just don't know now. I further don't understand why Iran suddenly is pure evil. Considering Saudi Arabia isn't very friend to Israel and explores nuclear arms itself, there's other countries t-- Oh. Right. Oil. Forgot about that.

Don't do it. Your arrogance has destroyed millions of lives and our reputation as a just and upstanding country. Do you want to push for billions? Honestly?

I look at it this way, says the young cynic: I'm going to be living in New York City. If the unthinkable is thought, I wouldn't feel a thing. You two, however, would survive and become the most damned names in history... assuming there's anyone else left can damn you.

Just a very dark, morbid, and knowingly in vain thought...
