THEWIZ takes a wiz

There is a guy who posts comments on blogs under the name 'thewiz'. He is very pro-war and totally incapable of learning anything. He made this comment on the blog Iraq the Model on November 6, 2008. In six months, I will revisit this post and see if any of his prediction have come true. All the spelling errors are his own. And please note - what he calls "partisan attacks" after the 2000 election was really a widespread anger that the votes in Florida were not counted, and the Supreme Court upended democracy.

The next six months will be amoung the most interesting and challenging times of the last decades.

1. Israel will attack Iran before Bush leaves office. The US may do it but I seriously doubt it. Not Bush's style.

NOPE!!

2 Iran will counter with missiles and Hamas and Hez terror attacks. The ME will be quite messy.

NOPE!!

3 The Pakistani population will react violently to the Israeli attack. The Paki gov will respond. . . .who's to say who will prevail.

NOPE!!

4 Routin tootin Putin will test Barack in some way. One of the few intelligent and truthful things that Biden has ever said, "The world will test the mettle of this guy"

NOPE!!

5 al-Queda will try to take advantage of this choas in some way.

NOPE!! -- at least NOT in the USA.

6 The economy will continue to teater on the edge until Barrack's economic policy has been established by Congressional action. Until then, the uncertainty will way heavily on the econ. And if he swings towards socialism, higher taxes, carbon taxes, and more, we will enter a world wide depression.

NOPE!! The economy stopped "teetering" on the edge before the inauguration. We already entered a world wide depression. Obama has promised higher taxes for the rich - in a couple of years. He is not going towards socialism, which is unfortunate.

7 N korean's lil Kim may be approaching room temperature. Don't know what kinda succession plan is in place but N Korea will probably fall rapidly into chaos.

NOPE!!

8 China is having internal problems as it econ follows the world south. Noit sure how bad that one is gonna get.

NOPE!! China is having some economic problems, but not as severe as other countries.

9 I hear that Europe has huge econ problems that will surface soon, much worse than the US's.

NOPE!! The US problems are still worse, but Europe is having severe economic problems (some of which is attributable to the US).

10 Oil is the great unkown. The slowing econ will drive prices lower but an Israeli attack on Iran and the ensuing chaos could make them skyrocket higher than they were last summer.

NOPE!! I get tired of hearing the hysteria about Israel attacking Iran. No one is going to attack Iran.

With all of these possibilties and more, the US must stand strong and united. We need to wok together to find the best solutions. To repeat the sick partisan attacks that occured after the 2000 elections would doom us all.

Let's see, after the 2000 elections, many people were upset that the Florida votes were not counted and instead the US Supreme Court handed the election to bush. No such problems with the 2008 elections, since Obama won by a large margin. However, we have several prominent Republicans calling for Obama to fail, and a right wing nutcase planning a 'dirty bomb' attack on Obama. This is far, far, far worse than anything seen in 2000.

The protests in 2000 were NOT "sick partisan attacks" but what is happening in 2009 most definitely IS sick partisan attacks.

And we are still waiting for the Republican in Minn to concede the election he lost for US Senate. Or for the seemingly unending court procedures to come to an end. In spite of the sick partisan attacks that occurred after the 2008 - NOT THE 2000 ELECTION - I don't think we are doomed. If we can survive this much stupidity in the general population, such as thewiz shows, we can likely survive anything.
