October Surprise redux

Karl Rove has been hinting at his "October Surprise" this past week. The rumor mill is laying bets that US elections will be suspended in the aftermath of a full-out attack on Iran for alleged "nuclear violations." Oddly enough, Iran is a signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which gives them the right to develop a nuclear energy program. (Iran ranks #5 in global oil production)

Both India and Pakistan (neither of whom, by the way, are signatories of the aforementioned treaty) have not only been running nuclear energy programs - they have also developed, produced AND exploded nuclear weapons. By golly, donchaknowit - they aren't on King George's shit-list. You know what else? They also don't have much oil to speak of!!!

You will notice that the other governments have included Venezuela, the European Union, and Iraq. Most of the rest on this chart (courtesy of the CIA Factbook) are either FOG (friends of George), or speak languages that he thinks are really stupid-sounding.



So, mark your calendars for October 21, 2006. It may be time to exercise our Second Amendment rights.
