Bush would create a war elsewhere ... the next logical victim: Venezuela!

THE INTERNATIONAL FORECASTER editor Bob Chapman writes: Not only are George and the neocons lame ducks, they face political disintegration. They are political liabilities to members of the Republican Party and this is in the process of causing desertion.

The indictment of Lewis Libby is enough to put a large hole in the neocon armor. It is obvious the Plame affair was a Cheney operation and Libby is the designated patsy.

We don?t see Libby folding and cooperating, but from a political perspective, he doesn?t have too, the damage has already been done. The key to the downfall of the neocons is a congressional investigation. That would lay bare neocon activities and allow comparison of Special Prosecutor testimony and congressional testimony. That would in all likelihood bury them.

The question is, is it possible?

Yes, it is but it?s not probable with a Republican Congress. That is for 2006, but a different Congress in 2007 could be quite different and that is when congressional investigations could begin. The neocons are well aware of this and military escalation is a way to defuse the issues. That is why the bipartisan moves over the past week to bring an end to the Iraq occupation are so important. They would stop any further Middle East military expansion.

That would mean the neocons would have to create a war elsewhere. That would be difficult but not impossible ... the next logical victim would probably be Venezuela.

President Bush?s options grow smaller with each passing day, but some are still available to him. The political world is closing in on George Bush and he knows it. Like anything trapped, he will lash out and so the damage he can do to our country is still immeasurable. Mr. Bush is an extremely dangerous creature.

* If our troops are not forced to leave Iraq by Congress there will be regime change and or invasion of Syria, which will turn into another insurgency and civil war that likely will spread into Lebanon. Any such actions would bring Iran into the conflict and we?d have a large section of the Middle East in flames.

* If US troops are committed we?d double the population under occupation. That would entail the commitment of 200,000 more troops, which would mean the neocons would have to impose another draft to fill the ranks.

* If George and the neocons are successful in causing war with Syria and Iran, because Congress refuses to withdraw American troops within six months, we could well see China and Russia come in on the side of Iran and we could have a Third World War that would be nuclear.

This is why getting our troops out of Iraq in months is now so important. Deluge your elected representatives to stop the occupation.

This could be a major turning point for America.

If we are not successful it will mean the end of America, as we have known it and perhaps the death of more than half of the world?s population.
