"The odds of nuclear use now is more than 50 percent within five years. There just ain't going to be any winners to this game....everyone loses in some fashion."

I am not sure where the 50% number comes from however, while I am not able to quantify the probability, I believe the use of nuclear weapons is a virtual certainty. Everyone will certainly loose in this. Sad really, since my experience teaches me that one on one basis folks are pretty much the same all over the world in regard to their wants and desires. Regardless, the world is choosing camps and it appears humanity will be at each others throat in the very near future.

[Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said in Rome on Thursday in case of a military attack against Iran, no country in the world would have access to crude oil...Chavez made the remark at a press conference, adding, "As Iran's President Ahmadinejad has reiterated, if Tehran would come under attack, oil would get scarce for everyone." ]

Sounds like, if we go to war with Iran, Venezuela will have to get some action also.

[all the guy and Iran has to do is halt export of oil for 30 days...and oil prices jump to well over $100 a barrel]

hahaha! Dream on.

We would open up the strategic oil reserves, cut the national speed limit to 50 mph and watch the Iranian and Venezuelan people starve to death.

They couldn't/wouldn't do it.

I'm afraid you might be right.

That's why I'm so afraid/angry about Hillary.

To me, and I've said it before, Hillary is the end of the civilized world or at least the end of Western civilization.

Absolute lying, insidious evil.

[you only have 60-90 days of oil.]

Venezuela only provides 8% of the US oil. The Strategic Oil Reserve would last a lot longer then 60-90 days even if the US did nothing to conserve oil during the crisis.

OK...this may seem to be nitpicking, but Venezuela is north of the equator.

"I also wish we would rout out the traitors and 5th columnists in our midst and put them on trial."

"Probably a higher priority than the first part."

Actually I agree. I wish we could get more of our countrymen to agree, think and realize this.

Our navy wouldn't have to sail too far from our back yard to practice some good old fashioned gun boat diplomacy. Hugo needs to assume room temperature.

"the United States' war machine should be dismantled,

I believe the words on the old Goliad flag that flew during the Texas war of independence should be shown to Senor Chavez. IIRC, it said "Come And Take It".

Things look upside-down from south of the equator.

Venezuela is north of the equator. But Chavez has his head up his butt which means that he is looking at things up side down.

So you were partly right.

Should have hung him from a lamp post when they had the chance.

Agree. I think America rounded up its allies for a World War III. There are a whole lot of shit faces that need to be wiped out at one go. Its time America did something imperial for a change instead of sitting idle and being called names by a bunch of worthless petty criminals in Iran and Venezuela.

Time to enlist a coalition of the willing. I wish India signs up on your side. We sure will if you promise to rid the world of them Bin Laden stooges in Pakiland.

Good conversation starter, though.

Sometimes Muttly screws up in reverse.

Handy.

[to me, anything south of the Catskills (love that name) is south of the equator!]
