Per coming Time report, DoD is planning regime change, by military action if at all possible, in five or six countries, including Syria and Iran.

I didn't think you'd be able to let him go without having at least one blockbusting, world scorching sequel.

as well as Syria and Iran, what could those countries be? North Korea, I suppose. Maybe they will finally invade Cuba as well. That leaves one, or maybe two.

Hmmmm.

If I was Jacques Chirac I'd be getting worried.

Turkmenistan? Burma?

Uzbekistan?

you let these idiots run the show, you'll get lots and lots of big, sparkly, explode-y wars to watch on tv. for decades!

Why Canada, of course! At least, that's what Fox has been calling for...

Though Jeane Kirkpatrick and John Bolton were on TV saying, "um no, maybe not..." and, by some accounts, Wolfowitz is clinging onto his job (as is Feith, of course) and refusing to take Chalabi's desperate calls, and Perle is now being treated with frosty reserve by Rice and Rove.

They're not running the show; DoD makes a lot of alarming noise, and its make-up is astonishing for its neo-con and Likudnik bias, but their apotheosis has been. The time for regime change by choice passed in the summer of 03 and they won't get it back.

Not that they don't stop writing and talking and dissembling.

Looks who's here:

Podhoretz on ww4

I hope they just do the regime changes with some of those big ol' nukes that are just gathering dust. We just don't have the patience for any more long, painful wars .. Please George, just get it over with quickly.. before they do it to us!

Uzbekistan?

Is this a joke? Uzbekistan is of course our good ally in the War on Terror. (So the government occasionally boils people alive. Maybe we'll bring that up ten years from now when it's no longer useful to us. "A man who boiled his own people alive. . .")

Dude, how can you not love a guy who commissioned a thirty-foot-tall golden statue of himself that rotates so that it always faces the sun?

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 9 September 2004 14:55 (twenty years ago)

the 6 countries = Kamchatka, Yakutsk, Irkutsk, Mongolia, China and Siam, of course! From Alaska. To work its way to Australasia!

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 9 September 2004 14:59 (twenty years ago)

That statue is so cool. Maybe W wants it, and that's why he'll invade.

Kenchuistan.

my tan is just fine thank you.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 9 September 2004 15:07 (twenty years ago)

What type of 'dictator' says things like that?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 9 September 2004 15:12 (twenty years ago)

one who is polite.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 9 September 2004 15:13 (twenty years ago)

and has a tan which is fine.

more Iran noise. Are we in as much denial now as we were about Iraq in early 02?

Meanwhile, we haven't done anything much to prevent North Korea from getting the bomb.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Sunday, 12 September 2004 17:57 (twenty years ago)

so let's see, we have a country that's been making noise about having a nuclear test and a 2.5 mile mushroom cloud near a uranium enrichment facility, and the administration thinks it's maybe a dust storm?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Sunday, 12 September 2004 19:15 (twenty years ago)

When the cloud of radioactive dust reaches a country that BushCo can't gag, then we'll hear more about this.

Canada?

the blogosphere is quick with a response

four more wars before a sanitised world?

maybe ignoring the big angry continent that is africa. there is 100 years of global war threat right there unless we start giving back to that place (possibly helping with famine, dropping third world debts and stopping using them as our dumping grounds would help a little)

i'm too frightened to think about china just yet, but rest assured within 20 years we will have experienced a war that will put 1939-45 to shame involving either of these.

i have a headache, i'm going back to post about britney's tits now.

― Darraghmac, Sunday, 12 September 2004 21:30 (twenty years ago)

what country can I move to (from the US) that will save me when these wars break out?

― kyle (akmonday), Sunday, 12 September 2004 22:28 (twenty years ago)

come to ireland

the weather's been great this past week, and nobody ever bombed us (except um, ourselves, and britain, but that's all behind us now)
