Former CIA Chief Michael Hayden says a United States military strike against Iran “seems inexorable” because diplomacy is failing.
Diplomacy is failing because the other side has no interest in diplomacy except as a means to keep the West off their back until their nuclear programs are completed.
Who wrote this? John Lee Hooker?
It’s not that there aren’t legitimate American interests in various parts of the globe. The problem is that we never go in to “win”.
We worry more about our image and our enemies casualties than ourselves.
I would die for my country, but not for some BS political excercise.
Wow - I didn't know anybody actually still believed that report.
Boom boom boom boom.
Gonna shoot you right down.
Right off a your feet.
Take you home with me.
Put you in my house.
Boom boom boom boom.
A-Haw Haw Haw Haw!
HEY HEY!
I love to see you strut
up and down the floor
When you talking to me,
that baby talk
I like it like that
Whoa, yeah!
Talk that talk, walk that walk
When she walk that walk,
and talk that talk,
and whisper in my ear,
tell me that you love me
I love that talk
When you talk like that,
you knocks me out,
right off of my feet
Hoo hoo hoo
Talk that talk, and walk that walk
by John Lee Hooker
“inexorable”? Someone has been bitten by a Thesaurus.
Nah! John Lee’s lyrics are much better.
So what’s Boom Boom’s advice in this article? End Empire America and kick Mexico’s butt? Then what? Nation build in Mexico? Put them all on the health care system? It’s the same old assumption that without troops overseas and the military industrial complex nobody will be mad at us or try to take advantage of us. Oh yeah and we won’t need anyone else because we built windmills or something? This seems to push the same old anti-war buttons without much of a serious plan about how to get there.
Until such time as we face facts and understand that a victor will be crowned one way or another, then we are just being irrational. The end game is coming, and I fear, very soon.
Nothing like a military strike to stir-up some pro-American support for the President just before the mid-term elections. Another October surprise. Will the voters go for it? Just wondering...
Maybe this will be timed to go with the mortgage foregiveness/restructuring surprise as a way to buy some support for this flagging Administration.
Never let democrats lead you into a war. Never.
As long as its paid for.
And you believe that, Mr. Livingston?
But there’s a marxist mulsim apologist in the White House.
Fizzle. Fizzle. Fizzle.
Actually I believe that too but I also believe that right afterwards when they found out that we weren't coming for them next they started up the program again along with advanced IED development. And over in Libya Kadafy has to be kicking himself for being so gutless and turning over all his research.
Yep, right outside the Soul Food Cafe.
“Best damn chicken in the state.”
This is nothing but an anti-military liberal blog. Hardly news, much less breaking news.

Really. From the site (and my personal knowledge).
“Bob Livingston is an ultra-conservative American who has been writing a newsletter for 41 years.”
Perhaps a warmonger could make such a statement as yours, but a conservative wouldn’t.

So why did we take out Iraq who was the enemy of Iran? FUBAR
