"No way Obama would do it..."

He would do anything that would advance his agenda. Obama loves division and internal strife. Under Bush and the WOT the looney left tried to relive its glory days of the Viet Nam era. Even with ample, sympathetic coverage from the MSM, the American public generally supported the war in which only a very small percentage of the population was directly engaged via family members or close friends. The anti-war movement got very little traction with the public at large.

An open war with Iran would be on a much larger scale and would be, for Obama the mother of all crises. Throw in a draft, and I suspect it would create internal divisions in the US that would make the Viet Nam era seem like a small family squabble.

Who really benefits from a war with Iran.

Saudi Arabia.

Didn’t Michelle just meet with the current head of that country ? The guy Obama bowed to ?

LBJ couldn’t run because of Vietnam. How that advanced his interests, I don’t know.
