WASHINGTON (AFP) – Iran is clearly moving closer to acquiring a nuclear weapons capability but military strikes to counter the program would have serious unintended consequences, the top US military officer said Sunday.

Not attacking Iran militarily might have worse consequences.

This is the administration’s prep for Israel’s bombin the He!! out of Iran’s nuclear facilities. The US gets the credit for KNOWING that Iran had nukes, but quickly says that bombing the nuclear plants will have “unintended consequences”.

Some days we spend so much time wringing our hands about “unintended consequences” that we fail to consider the intended consequences of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons (the destruction of Israel). Obama may call this “diplomacy”. I call it cowardice.

The MSM called Bush a bit overreacting when he put Iran in the Axis of Evil. And the Dems in Congress gave him all sorts of crap for trying to address the Iranian nukes issue. Now Iran will have them and we have Obama. God help us all.

Or 0 could rather calculate that then his troubles would be over.

“We pray for for the late, lost state of Israel. But...on to new business.”

...Which he might figure would put him in solid with islamists everywhere.

The right thing however, is anethema to him. God help us.

I don’t believe that there is anything even Obama could do to make the Islamists like him. They will hate us until either we or they are all dead. Only US liberals believe that if WE change our behavior THEY will end their hate of us.
