Would Bush be crazy enough to goad Iran into a border incident...
just to help McSame ? I read the other day that trivial encounters happen routinely between our Air Force and Iran's. Or would a border incident backfire and just help Obama ?

1. Know what? I don't think Bush gives a crap about anything or anyone
I think his bags are packed and he wants out of there like yesterday.

10. I totally agree with you
he just seems to have a look on his face like "Is this over, yet?"

And he's probably pissed that he has made such a monmental mess of his time that they won't give him the Baseball Commissioner position everyone has always said he dreamed of.

But he'll have those six-pack lunches to look forward to.

2. They started a Civil War in the Republic of Georgia to help McCain. So sure. n/t

He's not just a lame duck, he's the Poster Child for lame duck. Checking the days off on his calendar.

7. Bush doesn't give a shit about helping McCain.
He's put in his ten minutes for the campaign. He's just thinking about all that glorious free time he's about to have.

Cheney, on the other hand...

8. I don't think they dare do anything right now that would damage
the international financial situation. A dustup with Iran might be too dangerous.

I agree that Bush could care less about McCain right now. He's terrified of this financial mess crashing down on his head.

9. I don't think that would help McCain at all.
In fact, I suspect just the opposite would happen.
