i would typically have voted for iran, but the keyword is 'invade', i think with iran we will just bomb the shit out of them in a very quick and concerted effort, no invasion..

[jetsetlemming]

I would have voted on Saudi Arabia if it was there. They have the most oil, and the most human rights violations (Even more than the U.S.! Gasp!).

i think we'll invade poland.

[jetsetlemming]

I'm sure if anyone could, it'd be you.

I was tempted to vote Venezuala, but considering the info Seymour Hirsch received and published a couple of months ago in the New Yorker about the "Salvadoran Option" being used in Iran, I lean a bit more strongly that way. And also considering the outcome of the recent Iranian elections.

The New Yorker has a piece this week about the history of interrogation techniques, but unfortunately it is only available to magazine readers. However, the writer was interviewed on - yes, that's right - DemocracyNow, and the interview was shown Wednesday and yesterday in two parts. You can see the links on the homepage:

They do have transcripts, so you can at least get some of the gist of the story.

The Nation is also keeping up with these covert ops, so if you're interested in good sources of info, that's another place to look.

After what robertson said on-the-air, I don't think they'll try Venezuela in the open - covert maybe (even though they've been at it for a while now, and unsuccessful )

Hey somebigguy, we're both Canadian! -- you're right, the neocons don't need to invade us, we've already given them a permanent visa.

EIR/larouchepub.org has some pretty accurate intell predictions, for the gamblers out there

Thanks Thierry, we still have to protect our fresh water from those vultures though.

If they have to destroy our military, instigate terrorism, setup wars on multiple fronts, and drive the (world)economy into the floor to do it, they will and they are.

They will do this through fear in America(psyops) and force everywhere else.

Empires have an average of 200yrs. So America was due for some fool to come along and "stay the course", right off the cliff.

"In the summer of 2002, after I had written an article in Esquire that the White House didn't like about Bush's former communications director, Karen Hughes, I had a meeting with a senior adviser to Bush. He expressed the White House's displeasure, and then he told me something that at the time I didn't fully comprehend - but which I now believe gets to the very heart of the Bush presidency.

"The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality - judiciously, as you will - we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.'"
