I know not many will agree with me on this... but here goes:

Obama will hit Iran hard, very hard.

First, he has been dissed. As President, the military and the USA are now HIS. How dare the Iranians reject him, the ONE. (remember the ego).

Secondly, Obama has something to prove. He knows he is viewed as weak. He'll do what most insecure democrat presidents do, start a big war.

Third, He needs a distraction from the obvious failure of many of his initiatives and policies (not the unemployment numbers....).

Fourth, Iran is the ultimate boogie man. No one likes them. Not even liberal Europe. Not even other Muslim states. He has a green light.

Fifth, Israel has told him something that will force his hand. I don't know what it is, but it happened last week.

The recent action to start civil seizures of the Iranian controlled mosques and the buildings are a signal. They may be considered launch points for revenge attacks if we strike. The locations were well known for years... and the move now is telling.

Citation please? To which “big war” do you refer?

Unless you think JFK was insecure.(Which he didn’t appear to be)

Or if you think FDR started World War II (which he didn’t)

-George

Remember when Benni came into town on a surprise visit???

I believe a subtle message was delievered then, and this rejection by Iran is just the icing on the cake...

It is getting close to coming full circle...Somethings got to give...And amazingly it may be a surprise to all of us what happens next...

A massive “fail” from all sides of this deal...

Your wishful thinking is touching but delusional. Obama won't lift a finger. He doesn't have a gram of bravery anywhere in his entire existence.
