I believe the President is 100% serious about Iran.

The Iranian mullahs got used to ValJar working with the Lying Kenyan.

There’s a new sheriff in town.

“But that attack is unlikely to worry Washington, for any Iranian missile attack on American tankers would be met with an overwhelming response. As for Israel, it has already demonstrated, over many months, how ferociously it can respond. Washington’s overwhelming response is likely but still only theoretical; Israel’s answer has actually, and repeatedly, been given, with the promise, always, of “there’s more where that came from.” An Israeli officer explained: “If it rains in Israel, it will pour in Iran.””

Pay attention World Leaders. THIS is how you prevent wars. You maintain an overwhelming ability to respond and then you use it when the enemy provokes its use. These provocations will be intermittent and intended to find the one time you don’t respond in kind. THEN, you have lost deterrence and you are at war. Many more people will die if your will wavers and you lose deterrence than if you judiciously respond in kind to each provocation. It’s chess with human lives. But that is the game you signed on to play when you became the leader. (Note to Obama. Your “leading from behind” cost many more good men’s lives than were necessary. You failed to lead. The only thing that kept America out of a war while you occupied the Presidency was the fear you would be replaced by a conservative.)
