All War, All The Time, All Over The World

Just in case you were hoping that we could get this current war over and done with, then get back to "normal", the Bush Administration would like to disabuse you of these preposterous fantasies. According to Condi Rice and John Bolton, the Bush Administration has placed an "extremely high priority" upon taking down Iran and North Korea, while Syria and Libya have also been singled out for their attempts to obtain Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Can they do it? It might seem, given that they've launched an illegal war upon Iraq which is opposed by 90% of the World's population, that the war-mongers are unstoppable. But as this blog has argued previously, and as The Guardian has reported even today, the Pentagon, having shocked 'n' awed Baghdad with thousands of them so far, is quickly running out of cruise missiles and JDAMs.

This has horrified the warriors, who, "always thinking at least one war ahead, are concerned that the US might use all its firepower in Iraq and not leave enough to deal with another possible threat."

Even setting aside the likely crumbling of the American guns 'n' butter 'n' tax cuts economy, we'll repeat our prediction that the Administration can't possibly launch another major war before next year's election simply on the grounds that it won't have the ammo.

If Bush is re-elected, or Lieberman is elected, or Ashcroft imposes martial law and calls off the election, or Bush's rigged voting machines proclaim him the victor; then, it could be lights-out for the human race.
