Coming of the "Nightmare Scenario"

If my understanding of politics is accurate, then the President revealed his hand during the State of the Union address of January 23, 2007.

This President's only ambition is to consolidate his power and to secure the advance of the agenda of those who brought him to be elected to the highest office of the land.

President Bush's policy of doublespeak is well-employed during this address and leaves us wondering why his call to arms of his supporters, friends and cronies was so clearly articulated.

The President stated his strategy of unleashing the "Nightmare Scenario". This would be the spread of the cycle of violence and destruction across all of Iraq which today is predominantly restricted to Baghdad and Anbar province. As the violence escalates, which the introduction of 12% more American troops seems planned to do, Iran and Syria would increase their influence over the region throwing the entire MidEast into chaos, violence, destruction, war and death.

That is what the President plans.

With this spreading violence, at some point the President will stage a war against Iran furthering his agenda and that of his covert supporters. With the MidEast devolving into war, tension will increase worldwide. The U.S. and allies may be forced to intervene to protect their supplies of oil. Other great powers may be led to counter these actions leading to the outbreak of a world war - World War 3.

Although this represents only one possibility of what this President intends - and the consequences of his actions - it is, in my opinion - the most likely possibility. A lesser possibility is that the entire MidEast will be embroiled in a large, regional war.

In any case, the President has clearly stated his objective to unleash the "Nightmare Scenario". He has clearly stated that the lives of Americans are expendable in pursuit of his "Nightmare Scenario." He has stated that he will not allow his conscience or the wishes or desires of Congress or the American people to interfere or contravert his plan. He has stated that he has set his resolve to move forward with this plan and that he will not abandon his friends - those who brought him into power. For this plan is their plan. The Nightmare Scenario will be unleashed - and we all will suffer.
