He didn't say exactly that he thought it was going to happen. He was having a discussion segment with his producer Stu about the biggest things that could happen and what their relative impact would be. It was very analytical. Glenn gets a little preachy sometimes, but I respect the guy.

This was about a week ago. I don't know what else he's said.

I hope the Pope reconsiders his plans to travel to Turkey.

Pfft. If Bush, Cheney, Condi and Rummy can go to Iraq, then Pope-aloo can zip over the med with his Swiss guards, no prob.

Kurdistan has been relatively autonomous for about 12 years now. I wonder what internal security forces they've been quietly training within their territories. I wonder if they're working up to shutting down their borders and saying "what are you going to do about it?"

I say that we would not do anything about it but blow hot air. I do not know what the Turks would do.

I suppose, but it's like when Bushie was in Venezuela. I'll be nervous the whole time he's there.

I'm sure our pilots would like the opportunity for some real air-to-air practise.

If this is true, and anything from DEBKA should be so prefaced, then such an event would be the likely time for Iran to announce that it has deliverable nukes and that Paris and Bonn are targeted should the US interfere.

To be followed by Europeans begging Washington for defense, European "men" bending over and baring their butts and European women preparing to be raped and bear children for the IslamoNAZI's in their midst.




Did I mention white flags flying all over Europe?????

I saw a program on the history channel that said that the way the Caliphate reproduced was by the "Caliph" or whatever copulating with white slave girls. I don't think any of them ever married until Ataturk. Sick, twisted, depraved. And white.

Oh, and then succession was by having a bunch of princes by a bunch of slaves (never more than one per woman) and then letting them fight it out amongst themselves.

The white flags are already there, just not being waved vigorously yet.

No, it was about a year ago. There was a big summit. People were really worried about him. I guess it couldn't have been Venezuela, could it have, he would have had to meet with the wild man. But it was that trip where they tried to cut him off from his SS man and he went and rescued him.

I remember that. Found it. Two years ago in Chile. Bush had to pull one of his guards off of the Chilean guards.

"U.S. President George W. Bush (R) stops to wave while being escorted by Chilean President Ricardo Lagos into La Moneda Palace, at the beginning of a state visit after the closing of the annual meeting of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in Santiago, November 21, 2004....Winding up a three-day visit, Bush spoke at a news conference as a new security flap surfaced following an embarrassing fracas on Saturday in which Bush intervened and pulled his Secret Service agent away from Chilean guards. An elaborate state dinner with 200 people Sunday was downgraded to an official working dinner, reportedly because Chilean President Ricardo Lagos balked at Secret Service demands for guests to walk through metal detectors. [Reuters ]"
