I doubt it. It could always start going badly. Further it opens him up to attack of starting yet another war. If the Iranians are able to block the Strait of Hormuz and/or tag a carrier, how does that help him? I just don’t see him taking such a gamble.

Now if Iran attacks first, that’s a different thing. It would be more like he had no choice, reluctantly having to hammer back hard.

And oh dear, he will have to suspend the elections until the crisis has passed

"He" has nothing whatsoever to do with our elections-not their conduct, not their regulation, and not the calendar.

He ESPECIALLY has nothing to do with the choosing of Electors for President and Vice President, which is a reserved power of State Legislatures.

He could give such an order, but he would be under arrest within five minutes. Take a deep breath.

Most of the leftists I know that are aware of the Iran situation think Obama is forcing war with them. So actually going to war with Iran would lose him votes.

October suprise is not Foreign Policy.

October Suprise will start in July with the approval of the Keystone Pipeline and how Obama in his genius was just doing his due diligence.

This will be coupled with the new route for the pipeline creating a cleaner environment which the greenies will hail as miraculous.

Add in the collusion between the Whitehouse ans Wall Street, the speculators drive the price of oil down which Obama then uses as a hammer on the oil companies and showing the American people that America can be productive without the energy companies gouging us.

Did I fail to mention the jobs report which would put the hundreds of thousand of new jobs in before the pipeline even has a starting date?

Actually ... if I was Iran, I could get some real-@ss-kicking hits in ... before I was completely annililated ...



Iran's Sleeper Cells have always been the key issue ...

when the day comes when the West has them all pre-tageted for "instant" arrest ...

we will strike Iran ...

but not a minute before then ...

Bull.

ozero has already demonstrated that he can act above the law and NO ONE with any power is stepping up to stop him.

His very presence in the White House is proof enough of that.

Try opening Keystone, first.
