Time magazine gives us Bush's top ten reasons for bombing Iran. With some editorial comment from yours truly.

1. Bush's destiny is to defeat terrorism. Which involves raising their status nationally by allowing them to defeat us in every theatre in the world and treating their country men like criminals, thereby insuring that we will have terrorists to fight well into the 22nd century.

2. Bush feels an intense obligation to do all he can before he exits office in 2009, using force if necessary, to eliminate threats to American security. In other words we have too many bombs, and defense contractors with more to sell us, so we need to drop them somewhere now don't we?

3. Bush sees the Tehran regime as a threat to global security and American interests, arguably more so than Saddam was. Bitches won't let us have their oil!

4. Bush put--and keeps--the option of attacking Iran on the table. Bush can only get a hard on when he is threatening somebody.

5. Bush has little faith in the diplomatic channels for resolving the Iran problem peacefully and may feel that talking merely allows Tehran to buy time for building weapons. Bush just doesn't like all of that talking. It involves too many words. And some of them are freaking hard to say!

6. Bush isn't confident that sanctions will prevent Iran from getting the bomb. If Bush uses sanctions he will miss the opportunity to start yet another war, and some future President may get the fun of blowing more brown people up.

7. Bush is not too constrained by opposition to a war with Iran. Bush has completely stopped listening to the majority of Americans who do not want another war.

8. Bush is prepared to risk and if necessary endure consequences. What the hell he is out of office in less then 15 months!

9. Bush could discover that a U.S. attack on Iran is not so unpopular with the American public. Bush hopes to win the hearts and minds of the Americans since that went so well for him in Iraq.

10. Bush could conclude that a U.S. attack on Iran will not produce the blowback that military and political experts predict. Bush does not trust any information that does not fit in with his preconceived notions of success.
