No he doesn't.
... Desmond Dekker! In this vid he looks like Curtis Sliwa. ;-)
I have a friend of mine who is a LEO and a damn good guy. He is 3rd generation middle eastern descent here. We discussed terrorism and the mindset of the native born middle eastern person. he stated after growing up around them all his life he was sure that they were “all nuts” his suggestion was “kill every last one of them because that is all they respect”
Not unless they use neutron bombs and small tactical nukes...
Thanks for the pings Dave!
Sounds like John Bolton has been having the same day dreams that I have had re Israel taking out Iran and Syria if their Islamofascist Manchurian Candidate, Hussein ObamaMessiaHamas gets elected or steals the election.

38 Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion & CH-53E Super Stallion heavy transport helicopters

Seems like more than enough to keep in the air for a few weeks. I think you underestimate their abilities, and overestimate the (surrounded) Iranians... and you seriously misjudge the life-or-death situation that they actually face.
50 Bell AH-1 Cobra & SuperCobra attack helicopter AH-1G/S "Tzefa"
50 Bell UH-1 Iroquois multipurpose utility helicopter Bell UH-1
13 Boeing 707 (6 transports and 7 tankers)

72 Boeing F-15 Eagle air superiority fighter F-15A/B/C/D "Baz" variant (upgraded)

Just in case the first list wasn't enough for a few weeks of flying.
“Remember, GWB still has the ultimate constitutional and presidential power to suspend elections, general or otherwise, if he feels the US is threaten by a nuclear-armed Iran. So Obambi is quaking in his boots if the thought of a suspended elections suddenly materializes.”
Statements like this always amaze me, especially from supposedly thinking Conservatives.
Would you be so willing to acknowledge that a Dem President had that “Ultimate Power”?
Someone made the point that Israel can’t send their whole Air Force into Iran. Their homeland would be unprotected from Syria.
It would make more sense to attack Iran BEFORE the American Elections, in October, this way a McCain Victory will be more possible.
Depend upon it, sir, it is dangerous to open so fruitful a source of controversy and altercation, as would be opened by attempting to alter the qualifications of voters. There will be no end of it. New claims will arise. Women will demand a vote. Lads from 12 to 21 will think their rights not enough attended to, and every man, who has not a farthing, will demand an equal voice with any other in all acts of state. It tends to confound and destroy all distinctions, and prostrate all ranks, to one common level.-John Adams
Veterans under 21 should have been the only ones covered under the 26th Amendment.
The Supreme Court found Nixons extension of the vote to those under 21 under the guise of the voting right act unconstitutional (Owens vs Mitchell).
Oregon did not want to go against the Founders and sued the Justice Dept. and won, hence the passage of the 26th amendment.
And 18-21 year olds are supporting the marxist crypto muslim by double digits:
* Florida: Obama edges McCain 47 - 43 percent;
* Ohio: Obama tops McCain 48 - 42 percent;
* Pennsylvania: Obama leads McCain 52 - 40 percent.
In the three states, Obama leads McCain 10 to 23 percentage points among women, while men are too close to call. The Democrat trails among white voters in Florida and Ohio, but gets more than 90 percent of black voters in each state. He also has double-digit leads among young voters in each state

I understand the frustration with younger people supporting Obama, but it is a dangerous idea to say “those people are voting for someone I don’t like... so they shouldn’t be able to vote”. As you pointed out in your reply, women and blacks are also supporting Obama by strong majorities. Should they be denied the vote as well?
Also, you didn’t really address my taxation without representation issue. The founders lived in a day without income taxes, so as much as I respect their opinion, it doesn’t really apply. Unless you want to exempt people between 18 and 21 from taxes, then they must be allowed to vote.
