Blair starting to rattle his sabre(the one U.S. gives him) as the war virtually no one thinks is going to happen just keeps moving to it being realized. As i say market will IGNORE idea of war until it happens as Big Boys can't accept that our leaders , from Bush to Hillary to Blair are morally bereft --the idea Democrats would like this war because the cost of gasoline will kill Republicans is compatible with the total lack of integrity in our utterly corrupt Political System.
Yes you have your Pauls and Hagels and Webbs, but they are ALL outside the of the BiParitisan War Party(of which American Spirit is loyal member of the Democratic branch of The War Party. He would follow Hillary Clinton into Hell, even though she herself is a warmongering imperialist)
Yeah i post here just to annoy the Democrats that think they are practicing democracy. -LOL!!
As always, i say damn them all and go Independent, or just be a dork and play a game that is utterly corrupt. Doesn't matter what party is elected in 2008 NOTHING will change--that is a promise.
O yes, how many of you democrats would endorse this Iran war on the basis it would be GREAT STRATEGY to crush Republicans in 2008. How many of you would go for that???
A.S. probably would.
But this is the strategy Dems are going to use---the sickos.

PM warns of 'different phase' in Iran crisis
Iran must obey international law and release 15 British military personnel or face the consequences, says Tony Blair
Britain's relations with Iran will move into "a different phase" unless Tehran quickly releases 15 British sailors and Marines taken hostage last week, Tony Blair said today.
The Prime Minister gave the warning while insisting that diplomatic channels remained the preferred route to secure the release of the personnel, who were seized in the disputed Shatt al Arab waterway which divides Iran and Iraq on Friday.
Asked whether there was any news on the eight sailors and seven Marines this morning, Mr Blair told GMTV: "No, there isn’t, but let me just say our first concern is for their welfare and to get them released as quickly as possible."
"What we are trying to do at the moment is to pursue this through the diplomatic channels and make the Iranian government understand these people have to be released and that there is absolutely no justification whatever for holding them. I hope we manage to get them to realise they have to release them. If not, then this will move into a different phase."

Hang on. We’re taking the soft approach towards Iran?
The Prime Minister's spokesman later explained that by saying "different phase", Mr Blair meant that Britain might explore alternative means of negotiating with Iran, such as making public the exact co-ordinates of the incident last Friday, which would indicate that it took place in Iraq waters.
Last night relatives of the only woman among those taken hostage, Leading Seaman Faye Turney, spoke of their distress at her capture. Today a photograph of Ms Turney, taken six years ago when she was serving with the Royal Navy in Sierra Leone, was released.
In a statement released by the Ministry of Defence, Ms Turney's family said: "While we understand the media interest in the ongoing incident involving Faye, this remains a very distressing time for us and our family. We are grateful for the support shown to us by all personnel involved and appreciate it, but would request that our privacy is respected."
Iran stated once again today that the sailors and Marines from HMS Cornwall were safe and well but refused to confirm reports that they had been brought to the capital.
"They are in completely good health. Rest assured that they have been treated with humanitarian and moral behavior," Mohammad Ali Hosseini, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, told the Associated Press.
Mr Hosseini said that Ms Turney was being held apart from the others to give her privacy. "Definitely all ethics have been observed," he said.
He added that the personnel were being interrogated as to whether they entered Iranian waters deliberately or not, suggesting a possible way out of the impasse. Until now, Iran has threatened to put the sailors and Marines on trial for spying.
Mr Blair's comments raised the temperature of the non-stop diplomacy that has run back and forth between Tehran and London since the capture, at gunpoint, of the personnel last Friday.>>
