“It would change the landscape against [the GOP], big time,” Mr. Schumer said

Nope Chuckie, only a long, drawn-out, nation-building effort with lots of U.S. casualties would do that. But fortuntely that isn't in the cards for Iran. It'll be quick and successuful, and if anything will help the GOP immensely.

But then again you already know that.

I’m for leaving Iran to Hil..wonder what she would do looking down the barrel of a nuke attack on Israel? Call Chucky for advice?

Chuckie’s point is that he’s more than willing to roll the dice with American security on the line. And his party agrees with him. He’s wrong about Bush though. W will do the right thing regardless of the political cost to him.

Well then, this brings up a simple question doesn’t it — Why would you warn your adversary of impending destruction? Wouldn’t you just keep quite and watch?

Of course, if Iran had a nuclear bomb, they would likely try and use it on Israel or maybe in New York City. I wonder why he isn’t concerned about that? Jews live in both places last time I checked.

Bombing Iran, says Chuck Schumer, would be a big political loser for Republican candidates in 2008.

Any THINKING person will see that Chuck Schumer, schmuck extraordinaire, treats the nation's security as a political issue and not as a reason to be vigilante against our enemies.

Seeing such important things primarily through political eyes is the hallmark of a hack. And Schumer certainly is a hack.

Okay, Chuckie, what’s your solution? Let the Israelis do it?

More importantly would a war against Iran destroy Iran?

Chuckie is aware of the real ramifications, and the last thing that he wants to see is a republican President kicking ass and putting the Iranian chumps away once and for all.

Something that democrats simply do not have the will, or the sac to even attempt.

Zogby of all people, liberal pollster which will do anything to assist the donks, just published a poll saying 52% of the public was okay with striking Iran. We will strike them from the air with our new 30,000 bombs wiping out or setting back their nuke program severely. We will also hit the republican guard and quds forces because they have now been declared terrorist organizations. Air bombardment like the world has never seen. The 70% student population will then be able to overthrow the mullahs because the republican guards and quds forces will be removed from the equation. Few ground troops, special ops only, will be needed. There will be no ground invasion and the war will not last very long.

I don’t know. Most likely scenario would be US strikes against the military or nuclear installations, avoiding civilians as much as possible. Iran responds by hitting US military/diplomatic targets in Iraq. US responds by destroying Iranian missile capability and continues to degrade infrastructure. Political pressure in US after 5 days would be intense. Then the Iranian/muslim collaborator or agent hits a soft civilian target in the USA. History starts new and quislings protest at their own personal risk.

And no Iran war would destroy Israel. If we do not get them, they will get us (and others) first.

One of the things I’ve learned participating in forums on the internet that have Muslim participation is that Chuck Schumer and his ilk are inadvertantly functioning as useful idiots for the USA Defense Department.

Muslims really seem to take heart and believe these fools. This has resulted so far in thousands of more enemy deaths than otherwise would have occurred as Muslim leaders constantly misjudge the USA’s intentions and resolve. This can be attributed in part to our political leaders who are against President Bush. Thanks, all you peaceniks!

Freedom of Speech is a wonderful thing. It completely confuses those who do not have it.
