A strange idea.
vanity | 8/19/06 | struggle

Posted on 08/19/2006 9:22:44 PM PDT by struggle

Here is my thoughts, and I am sorry for the vanity.

Perhaps Iran is not planning on bombing Israel or America, simply because of the imminent retrobution that will visit on Iran. What if Iranian agents were to test their first nuke on Baghdad?

They could blame it on the Russians, or on the North Koreans, anything to deflect the blame from Iran. The Green Zone would be destroyed, the Iraqi government decimated. And all it would take would be a small truck carrying a nuclear cargo. Am I crazy to think so? The terrorists could instantly say the bomb came from Russia or China or NKP, thereby displacing the balme on a larger power that America could not fight.

Iraq would become a madhouse. The "civilized" world would blame America, and not Iran, or any other Muslim power. It sounds too good to be true to Iran. Your thoughts?

The only question is whether Israeli or US nukes would hit Tehran and Mecca first.

Cheers!

Not even DU would accuse Bush of nuking our own troops.

I'm glad you're not very familiar with DU. Believe you me, the FIRST thing you'd see there would be them accusing Bush of nuking our own troops.

The fallout could end up in Iran, depending on the winds. A nuke isn't something you want to use in your own neighborhood.

Possibly, but you have to remember that the Iranian regime absolutely believes "Allah is on its side," and that they will win any way with us because Allah will appear in the sky to wipe us out.

anythings possible. In any case, the next nuke that goes off, nobody will claim responsibility and nobody can be held responsible if it is detonated locally.

Maybe. But if you think the reaction from 9/11 was violent.... Remember Pearl Harbor.

You are far too kind to the DUmmies. They'd be falling over their keyboards to be the first to type Bush/Rove/Rumsfeld plot.

One could always hope for a 'work accident' -- building nukes is a precision business after all.

That's the problem. If Baghdad was nuked, they would blame it on Bush, saying that either:
1. Bush incited the whole attack.
2. That the attack was staged so that America could attack Iran

Either way, there would be a horrible loss of life and many soldiers would die. There would be no initative to attack Iran afterward and the Muslim would would believe that America did it on purpose in line with their propaganda.

"Allah will appear in the sky"

Another strange idea as long as we are at it.

What if the US has secret stealth holographic technology that can beam a giant image of Muhammad in the sky over Tehran or where ever, saying:

"My children, if you want the virgins, you must do what ever the American's say. The Hidden Imam has returned. His name is George Bush and he is now your savior and master. Take those rags off your head and write a constitution." Etc.

Wouldn't that be a kick?

I stand by my comments.

Not even on DU would they accuse Bush of nuking our own troops.

They'd all be clamoring for the credit themselves.

...or else starting a campaign to go all Nina Totenberg on Ahmedijenad.

Cheers!

Signs indicating the emergence of the Mahdi

Shi'a sources

The 6th Shi'a Imam, Jafar al-Sadiq, is reported to have said:

"Before the appearance of the one who will rise, peace be upon him, the people will be reprimanded for their acts of disobedience by a fire that will appear in the sky and a redness that will cover the sky. It will swallow up Baghdad, and will swallow up Kufa. Their blood will be shed and houses destroyed. Death will occur amid their people and a fear will come over the people of Iraq from which they shall have no rest."
