On The Verge of War with TWO Countries: The Result of Absolutely NO Diplomacy.

Support for American Missile Defense System on Prague's Castle Hill

How Will Obama and McCain React?

These Two items have just hit the newswires within the last several hours:

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran test fired nine long- and medium-range missiles on Wednesday, state media said, including one which it has said could reach Israel and U.S. bases in the region.

The tests occurred at a time of increased tension between Iran and Israel over Tehran's nuclear program, which the West fears is aimed at making bombs. Iran, the world's fourth-largest oil exporter, says its program is only for electricity.

A New York Times report in June said Israel had practiced an attack on Iranian nuclear sites, and the tension has rattled financial markets. U.S. and London Brent crude oil futures rose by more than a dollar on news of Iran firing the missiles.

PRAGUE (Reuters) - The United States signed a pact on Tuesday to build part of a U.S. missile defense shield in the Czech Republic, prompting neighboring Russia to warn it will react with military means if the shield is deployed.

The U.S. and Czech foreign ministers toasted with champagne after signing the accord to place a tracking radar southwest of Prague as part of a system to protect against the perceived threat of missile attack from countries such as Iran.

But Russia, in a statement reminiscent of Cold War rhetoric, warned the United States against deploying the shield close to its borders.

"If the real deployment of an American strategic missile defense shield begins close to our borders, then we will be forced to react not with diplomatic methods, but with military-technical methods," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on its www.mid.ru website.

Bush will have his legacy:

leading us into two cold wars or...
leading into two more actual wars.

Both McCain and Obama must hate Bush. He's continuing to do damage in the realm of foreign relations. McCain, of course, will not be as effusive in his opposition as Obama, but I'll bet McCain is cursing Bush right now! He's got what? 190 to go? With this guy on a roll, not even Antartica is safe.

"War? Didn't the idiot see Happy Feet?"

Yes, the poster below is before the last election, but it's even more appropriate now,
don't you think?
