I see your Foley, and raise you a Nuke

Would they really do that, Billmon asks?

Would the cabal really time the launch of a massive air strike against Iran to gain maximum advantage at the polls in an off-year congressional election? Are they that depraved?

. . . This administration, and the criminal conspiracy it calls a political party, both desperately, desperately need to change the subject, and fast, if they're going to preserve their death grip on power and keep the process servers at bay. It doesn't look like a Code Orange Alert is going to cut it this time.

It would, in a totally perverse way, be carthartic (in both senses of the word) if the real October surprise turned out to be a tactical nuclear strike on Isfahan.

God only knows, but the carriers are on the way to Iran even now (see the leader to Billmon's post). Depravity, as the Calvinists say, is total.
