As Dick ( Dr Strangelove ) Cheney amasses his three carrier attack groups in the Persian Gulf ~ Iran has amassed a stockpile of the most advanced anti-ship cruise missile in the world THE SUNBURN which combines a Mach 2.1 speed (two times the speed of sound) with a flight pattern that hugs the deck and includes “violent end maneuvers” to elude enemy defenses. The missile was specifically designed to defeat the US Aegis radar defense system: Allen L Roland

The stage is set. If we allow the Israelis to attack Iran ~ Iran will attack us in the gulf and bring about a debacle that will make the current debacle in Iraq look like a romp in the park versus the bloodbath that could well occur in the Persian Gulf.

Let's hope it doesn't get to this ~ but America may need to be soundly whipped and humiliated to finally get that this is an interdependent world where we can no longer afford to be the out of control rogue state with our own global neocon agenda.

Mike Gaffney writes in A BRIDGE TOO FAR ,ICH, that America may,  indeed, be walking into a trap in the Persian Gulf ~ from which there is no escape. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article7147.htm

Excerpt: " The US Navy has never faced anything in combat as formidable as the Sunburn missile. But this will surely change if the US and Israel decide to wage a so-called preventive war against Iran to destroy its nuclear infrastructure. The Sunburn’s amazing accuracy was demonstrated not long ago in a live test staged at sea by the Chinese –– and observed by US spy planes. Not only did the Sunburn missile destroy the dummy target ship, it scored a perfect bull’s eye, hitting the crosshairs of a large “X” mounted on the ship’s bridge. The only word that does it justice, awesome, has become a cliché, hackneyed from hyperbolic excess.The US ships in the Gulf will already have come within range of the Sunburn missiles and the even more-advanced SS-NX-26 Yakhonts missiles, also Russian-made (speed: Mach 2.9; range: 180 miles) deployed by the Iranians along the Gulf’s northern shore. Every US ship will be exposed and vulnerable. When the Iranians spring the trap, the entire lake will become a killing field."

It doesn't take much imagination to see the consequences of this potential carnage ~ what with the reality that the Iranians, if attacked, will close the strategic Strait of Hormuz, with their missiles,  thus cutting off the trapped and shattered Americans from help and rescue.

So now we come back to Dr Strangelove ~ Dick Cheney who is, in essence, the War Czar of the Cheney/Bush administration.

Congress can no longer afford to be careful with this crazed warlord who obviously sees himself as separate and apart from our constitutional system ~ which is precisely what America has become in the interdependent world of cooperating countries.

We are the Cancer of the planet and Dick ' the natural state of man is war ' Cheney is the Cancer of this administration.

Impeaching Cheney as soon as possible could well stop this runaway train towards armageddon ~ but it will require the, yet to be seen, leadership, intention and purpose of a determined Congress to pull it off and time is of the essence.

Impeach Cheney now before it's too late.
