Well said, sir--why leave a generation-spanning fu<kup only halfway done when, with just a little more time & a lot more lives/money, one can create a catastrophe of epoch proportions?

He just wants to ensure that he gets his place in history.

Well this President has done almost all he can to bring about the "Rapture". Arresting Iranian Diplomats (or Consular officials) is an Act-Of-War all over the world. Expanding the war to Iran, Syria, and Israel while drawing China and Russia, whose economic interests are at stake, into a confrontation will make it all but inevitable that a half-trillion American dollars will be dumped on the open market turning the US into a third world country overnight. Much like the Rise-and-Fall of the Roman Empire, WE ARE FINISHED,WITH A MADMAN AT THE HELM OF A SINKING SHIP...... This is not the result of stupidity, no one is THAT Stupid. If I was the Anti-Christ, I would want to be President of the most powerful nation in the world. I would get as many false prophets as possible to declare me a divine man, on a mission from God. I would invade and bomb God's Holy Lands, you know, the Garden of Eden, Canaan, etc. If I was the Anti-Christ, I would want to be President of the United States.

Cheney’s New Paradigm

“The White House is banking on the assumption that it can execute its "new way forward" in Iraq before Congress can derail it.”

Expand that statement to read: “The object is a larger one: Expanding executive power, for its own sake, with claims to limitless presidential authority before Congress can derail it.”

Enter David Addington, Cheney's chief of staff and legal adviser. Addington's worldview in brief: a single-minded devotion to something called the New Paradigm, a constitutional theory of virtually limitless executive power, wherein "the President, as Commander-in-Chief, has the authority to disregard virtually all previously known legal boundaries, if national security demands it."

Addington and Cheney had been "laying the groundwork" for a vast expansion of presidential power long before 9/11. Cheney has been working behind the scene since the early Eighties in various political appointments to establish an authoritarian government. Wielding powers unearned through the democratic process, he has clawed his way to the top as a sociopathic sycophant and “power behind the throne” to subvert democracy.

That’s Cheney’s ambition and the essence of the “New Paradigm.”
