BOMB THOSE DAMN CANUCKS!!!

Now, if only they could sell all that "depleted" uranium...

Hmmm...

You know that uranium, as it processed, is given a distinctive chemical signature so that in the event that it used in a 'terrorist attack' the correct country/source can be blamed/attacked.

Do ya think that the 'Iraqi' uranium could be used to make the 'October Surprise' that will benefit John 'Bomb Bomb' McCain?

Or is that too much of a 'conspiracy theory' for some folks?

Surrender >> Bombing an innocent people? No fucking wonder the left is an absolute dismal failure. This sort of jackassery is what one would come to expect from rednecked racists from the deep south.

Even if your comments were made in jest what good do they serve? What good indeed.

I have been visiting this site for over five years now and the remarks made by the readers time and again prove that this site, though trying hard to do the right thing, fosters hatred and delusion and intolerance for anyone who dares try and step back from the chaos we read about daily.

If the left is crying bomb the _____'s then one must ask themselves who is really in the right ever? The powers that be are all interwoven that much is certain - and why would it ever be any other way? The fact is simple: the conservatives will triumph due to the fact that the left is populated by opportunists and lunatics unwilling or unable to pull their thoughts together in a fashion that facilitates love period.

What guiding principles the progressive community attempts to create will always be completely misunderstood by knee-jerk reactionaries through insightful comments such as those posted above. You prove nothing save that this is a dog eat dog world where any old asshole believing s/he has right on their side will raise voices in hatred first rather than understanding.

Oh, maybe I have completely missed the humor in the statement... I do not beg any pardon. You offer no back up points, just a simple line: "bomb those damn canucks" like that is even remotely funny in a world where there are CLEARY too many impressionable individuals who may well take these claims to heart. And yes I am being deadly serious.

We are all lost at sea and we have to suffer the ones who yell the loudest and goad and cry murder which causes panic and dismay and harm to those looking only to live their lives.

Commondreams you try hard, but so many of your readers lack the intellect to question why they even bother to take part in this free thinking endeavor.

To you surrender, I offer a simple challenge: pull your head out of your ass.

How many tons of DU are now in Iraq?

I suspect Galen's fear is not that feasible with the yellowcake. Unfortunately, it is a real possibility by other means. The Minot/Barksdale ACM nukes incident may have been an abortive attempt to take out New Orleans. (Not more likely than not, but possibly.) And remember, Israel can nuke the US anytime it wants, and pretend it was a terrorist nuke. Few in Washington would say it was not terrorist, but a few in the US military would be murdered to cover it up.

That is the sort of errant pundantry up with which I shall not put!

So, they finally found the yellow cake from Nigeria?

Re the false flag fears, has anyone found any credible source that can explain away the allegations of "Loose Change"?

mark: Grow up! It's called satire. You ever heard of George Carlin? I ask for no pardon, Sir. Check the medicine cabinet, take two, and breathe.

Right on surrender:mark: "Grow up! It's called satire. You ever heard of George Carlin? I ask for no pardon, Sir. Check the medicine cabinet, take two, and breathe."

I'm from Vancouver,BC,Canada and I think your "Bomb Canada" comment is within a very small window of possibility even though you said it like Gilbert&Sullivan,Mel Brookes,Monty Python or George Carlin would have said it.
Methinks he doth protest too much.

I wonder how he would have liked the satirical writings of the eighteenth-century essayist Jonathan Swift who suggested to British Parliament that instead of neglecting the infants of poor peasants and assuring a slow death by disease and starvation they should be fattened like pigs and geese and eaten to enrich the whole community . Now that's satire.

GDE- How hard would it be for Bush Junta agents to 'intercept' a load of uranium yellowcake, make a C-4/Plastique core (10 lbs. of the stuff should do), put the core in a 55 gal. drum, and fill the drum with the yellowcake, put the lid on with a timer, and slip it into, oh say, downtown LA during rush hour?

Mark----4:04PM------ Get a life----- and a sense of humor--- it will help you have a life.

Why would Bush bother with this yellow cake, I'm sure since Russia has been "decommissioning" (seperating warheads for "storage"), thousands of 300 megaton nuke warheads, without any security stipulation specified in the treaty Bush signed that set this in motion, I'm sure that there are enough nukes that have rolled across the years stood down Mexican border or been brought in by shipping container that the whole continent is prepped to be restored to dust. As in the days of this solar system forming.

The Yellow cake is serving it's purpose in the media, lending credence to Bushes nuclear threat Iraq hoax. Some will read this and think there are things going on behind the scenes that they are not aware and maybe Bush knew and the congress knew and steered their decision. The reality is though that these political actors and agents are a fierce menace to the commoner. To everyone really, themselves no less.

Machiavelli said something like, nastiness needs to be heaped on all at once. Don't expect there will be a single nuclear terrorist incident. Expect that when nukes go off anywhere, it'll be everywhere quick.

A healthy mind is all that is required to dispel the more ludicrous claims and its preposterous thesis.

What "allegations" presented in that pile of poppycock were you wondering about?

This is rich! Apparently we do not trust that a "stable and democratic" Iraq would never use the yellow cake to make a nuclear bomb!

"...using teams that include Iraqis recently trained in the Chernobyl fallout zone in Ukraine."

So, I FINALLY read of an actual-Job offered to an Iraqi (one that isn't being a traitorous cop-slash-'soldier', that fellow-Iraqi's have to eliminate in self-defense) -- and THIS is what it is? Sent to Russia's poisonous ground-Zero, then being handed a shovel back in Iraq to package Yellow-Cake with?
Nice...!
[There are more degreed-engineers and skilled-trades among the Iraqi's than most Nations can boast-of (notably-more than in the USofA!) -- when will _any_ of them be offered a Job rebuilding their bridges/electrical-plants/water&sewage-works/hospitals/etc.? Ever?
Hell, maybe bring them over-here (instead of their visiting scenic-Chernobyl) -- and then pay them, properly, to rebuild OUR worn-out Infrastructure...!]

MeAlsoToo: On a side note, you said "instead of their visiting scenic-Chernobyl".... actually, now that nature is starting to reclaim the "dead-zone" this area of countryside is quite scenic. :) For an interesting story, read this site: http://www.kiddofspeed.com/
