Talk of attacking Iran raises tensions, but the Iran regime’s sponsorship of our adversaries in Iraq and Afghanistan, it’s anti-Semitism and talk of destroying Israel, and it’s pursuit of nuclear weapons don’t raise tensions.

Iran has been attacking U.S. troops and Iraqi troops and other allied troops. It's time all these military forces defend themselves AGAINST IRAN!

It's a 2 way street, babe.

Have tensions increased enough yet?
How many Iranian and Syrian attacks must Iraq endure before one of them is officially declared an actual “act of war”?

This WW III big one is really heating up. It’s time we got serious and drafted 15,000,000 men, started food and gas rationing, put Rosie the Riveter back making arnaments instead of importing them and raised money to finance war instead of giving tax cuts. It’s how you win world wars unless someone thinks of something else.

“Talk of attacking Iran escalates tensions”

Opinion...

OH FOR PETE SAKES...

Ahmadinejad and mad, merry group of minions WANT war.

The United States of America and Israel have shown incredible
patience (which may cost us dearly).

Is time running out for Iran?
Time will tell.
