This is just a theory of my own head and nothing else. I thought Chavez, Obama and Iran's "ImANutJob" were all buds. But when there's an election to be won, you gotta do what you gotta do. The only connection I make is that Chavez and Iran are buddies. Sort of like Vietnam was to the Soviet Union. A proxy war with Iran. Political theater.
Like you, I do not want any of it either but we're talking about a power hungry man in the WH.
Thanks. I see the possible rationale now. Fervently praying for God’s mercy and mitigation of all dangerous circumstances!
