DEMS AND DARTH PLAY KISSY FACE

As George Lakeoff writes at greater length, all the major Dem Pres candidates are tacitly oking the &quot;concept&quot; (i.e. a tacit policy) of preemptive nuclear attack on Iraq. My submission quotes the candidates parroting Cheney &amp;amp; a sarcastic elaboration follows. <!--break--> RE: IRAN DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES DISTINGUISH THEMSELVES FROM DARTH VADER Cheney (Darth, of course): &quot;All options [are] on the table H. Clinton: &quot;No option can be taken off the table.&quot; Edwards: &quot;[W]e need to keep all options on the table&quot; Obama: &quot;I think we should keep all options on the table.&quot; Medialess newsflash! Feckless and reckless democratic presidential candidates witlessly and thoughtlessly breach the nuclear taboo. The equally feckless media scribes cluelessly quote these candidates but don't get it either. The public, sick of the lying bastards in the Administration that backed us into the quagmire of Iraq, now stand by helpless as the stewards of the &quot;national interest&quot; prepare to &quot;double down&quot; Iraq into a preemptive attack on Iran, turning the Iraq mess into a regional catastrophe. The Apocalyptic lobbing firm of Woofowitz and Pearly has pointed out that this would make attacking any country anytime for any reason well established as both policy and practice. &quot;The beauty of this, the hidden bennie, is that whether we use nukes or not, the official backing of 'all options on the table' includes nukes, obviously. &quot;All&quot; is all. Thus, we feel the psychological barrier has been irrevocably breached. With help from from our enemies (democrats), call it a fait accompli. Sooo easy,&quot; said Woofowitz and Pearly spokesperson Blab A. Mouth. Eager not to be seen in the &quot;foreign policy wusses&quot; spotlight, democratic candidates are falling all over themselves to mimic Cheney who has said &quot;all options are on the table&quot; everywhere he could find a microphone. Clinton has told the all too eager AIPAC &quot;No option can be taken off the table,&quot; clearly and explicitly allowing for nuclear bunker busters without saying &quot;nuclear.&quot; Can you say nuclear? NUCLEAR. Nuclear. Not Nuclur, nuclear. Edwards, eager to close the advantage gap with Clinton has said &quot;[W]e need to keep all options on the table.&quot; So there! Obama, a relative greenhorn among seasoned opportunists risked wussiness with the equally feckless,reckless, witless, thoughtless but wussy sounding &quot;I think we should keep all options on the table. &quot;You think?&quot; You wussy. Meanwhile, the Administration categorically denies any intention to start a war in Iran as the second or third (whatever) carrier group approaches the Persian Gulf and a planning group in the Pentagon prepares a battle plan that can be initiated within twenfy four hours. Also meanwhile, democratic leaders in Congress insist that the Administration would not dare to initiate war. (Not nuclur. Nuclear) They'd be too scaredy cat to offend congress, since Congress would obviously rebel and then what would the Administration do? These leaders in Congress are not, apparently, to be confused with the candidates running hard for office two years out. But it does get confusing. Especially if you actually talk to your congress people. Not nuclur. Nuclear. Readers Opine: I think we should table all options Anon. Doesn’t it make you want to cry? Anon. Ouch! How about Gore? Anon. (Who? Oh, him!) Aren't our reps lovely? Anon. I'd like to take all of them off the table. Anon. ~ all acting tough and all of them lacking the courage to make a stand for peace. Anon. ain't this the sad truth? Anon. Taken as separate drips in our daily dosage of the escalation mantra, no options off the table seems like a nice chant, doesn’t it. Repeat after me and don’t forget, no option is off the table, I think. Therefore, I am, I think. Maybe not. Kaboom. Anon. Will the table collapse under all this weight? from &quot;Proud to bomb Iran&quot; Ghouls, one and all! This is how we find infiltrators--we hold suspected conservative moles down and make them pronounce the n-word. If it comes out sounding like &quot;nuculer,&quot; then we tickle them until they pop a blood vessel. Mike, How could you be so uninformed?!! It's nuculer - not nuclur.
