Hello

Are you ready?

I'll speak about Iran again...

There are more and more noise in the sense of that Bush could open a war with Iran as he is still president.

Which impact do you think it would have on the campaign?

Do you think he could suspend the electoral process without a date if such a thing happens?

I heard about presidential directives decided by Bush administration that would give full powers to White House if an important crisis arise, do you think he could use it in this sense?

How far do you think that Bush can go with Iran? With the power at White House?

Thanks...

The USA had an election in 1944, at the height of the Second World War.


Well, I tend to think that with Bush administration, no matter what happened before, everything is possible!

If we attack Iran and oil prices skyrocket to 200 a barrel, there could well be a 1980-type wave against the Republicans. People need gas to get to work.

I think that if US attacks, or if Israel does (which would lead to a US participation, yes, if Israel attacks, Iran retaliates, and so US attacks Iran to defend Israel...), 200$ the barrel could be the price when the news would say that the first rocket is fell on the Iranian ground. Then, it could go higher and higher, imagine everything what can happen just in the Persian Gulf if such an attack is launched.

Then, do you really think that peoples will think that choosing Democrats in such circumstances will give them a less expensive gas? Or do you think they could choose Dems to punish the Reps to have gone in a such war? Personally, I would be surprised of both.

To me an Iranian war under Bush administration, what we are talking about, would lead more peoples to the experience of Mc Cain than to the youth of Obama.

Some of you people are absolutely paranoid.

Is that forbidden to imagine such or such thing?

We're just speaking, aren't we?

Well, I'm talking about Future, not about History, am I not?
