Iran and U.S. Elections

Just wondering is there anyone on here who doubts that the republicans will attack Iran before the U.S. Elections?

They would need to get the cash from a Democratic Congress, which as you know, just funded some more of the Iraq war.

Let's see, two years ago we were promised change. Since then, we are STILL in Iraq, but at least the economy is doing worse.

No, we're not going into Iran. Whether we should or not, no one in Washington has any moral legitimacy anymore.

Well Mike I fear you misunderestimate Bush and cro.

They will not do it directly.

The Israelis will initiate it.

Then we will be compelled to come to their aid.

We will have a propoganda campaign the likes of which we have not seen.

They will fill the public full of this drivel how the Iranians want to destroy Israel and kill all Jews etc.

Just wait and see.

It is the republicans' only hope.

Obama has opened up a fifteen point lead already.

Well, then let's just inaugurate him.

Well I would rather see that than to see your bunch plunge us into a real war.

But I know enough about republicans and their lust for power that I realize they will not go quietly or gently into the good night.

I see you got off that Hillary bandwagon about as fast as you got off the Edwards on Sherm.

By the way, what country is 'The repuclicans' and do they have a military set to attack Iran?

Sherm is talking nonsense again. There will be no U.S. attack against Iran.

Randall did you read my link in the earlier post?

Which one? The one where ElBaradei vows to resign if Iran is attacked? (That's the best argument I've yet heard for bombing Iran, by the way.)

You do this every two years: Claim the evil Republicans will launch some crazy war and bamboozle the public and turn them against peace-loving Democrats. There will be no U.S. attack against Iran, Sherm.

I read your link Sherm and I have a question for you.

If Israel and Iran were to enter into conflict, which side should the US support?

Why should the U.S. support either "side"?

Aaron I dont think even you are naive enough to believe Israel will up and bomb Iran without any U.S. collusion.

Randall if you don't believe the republicans play domestic politics with foreign policy you did not get your money's worth from all that education.

Course I was more idealistic when I was your age too so I partly understand your defending them.

While Israel may very well consult the US before any attack against Iran, I don't believe for a second the US has the ability to prohibit them from attacking if they make up their mind or feel they have a legitimate reason to attack Iran.

Of course your girl Hillary said that the US should attack Iran if they attacked Israel. So did your new boy Obama.

Other then it is current US policy Frank, any reason I state would be my opinion.

Why should me not take sides?

Really? Is it U.S. "policy" to take sides in other countries' wars?

Why should me not take sides?

I would think that the default position should be non-intervention is the wars of other nations.

So again, why should we take sides?
