October surprise?
If “Ears” does it, it will be to save his Presidency and will be just throwing Islam under the bus with everyone else.
If he does go after Iran, it will be because he is forced into it. At that point he will go hide in a closet. He’s afraid of his own shadow.............and his wife.
If he bombs Megan Kelly it's CWII.
Increasingly, I begin to wonder whether Barone is suffering from mental exhaustion.
He is likely to do anything. Who knows? This is the great thrill of handing the most advanced country over to a man who has absolutely no known achievement or accomplishment. Ain’t America great?
If the Demagogues were not heading for disaster at the polls in Nov. I’d say no way will the Obamanation take down Iran.
However, given their desperate need for an attempted “game changer” and given their fervent belief in their Obamessiah, I will no longer be surprised if this happens before Nov.
Note that I am speaking solely in terms of WH domestic political calculations b/c that is all that people like Axelrod and Jarret and Rahm Emanuel really understand and respond to.
If they do decide to do it then of course it will be dressed up in Wilsonian terms, which the Obamanators will have no trouble embracing on a temporary warlike basis, now that their “anyone but Bush” movement has dealt with some political and international realities for 18 months.
If they
Nothing like a good old fashion bombing to take American’s minds off of losing their liberty and country.
Obama?? Bomb Iran?? Right or wrong, making the decision to do that would require gumption. Obama’s got none of that. Now, perhaps, if there were someone he could throw under the bus....
If he bombs Megan Kelly it's CWII.
Someone in his administration has got to be smart enough to be afraid of her.
Probably what Bill Clinton told him. It helped get Monica off the front pages.
if he tries it he can expect the liberal media to work tirelessly to undermine him just like they did to Bush
The tail will wag the dog.
As far as "Bombing Iran" goes, the military considerations are huge. (1)Iran is as big as all of Western Europe. Has vast mountain ranges, deserts, etc. In short: a million nooks and crannies we really don't know much about. (2)No power on Earth, nuclear or not, is going to take out all of Iran's capability in a single raid, or in a month of raids. While we are turning this hellhole into a sheet of radioactive glass, rest assured a few of their missiles will find their way to Tel Aviv.
Want to take out Iran? OK. Reinstitute the draft, raise a 5 million man army, a 600-ship Navy, double the airforce, get the USCG new topsiders, and go for it. In the meantime, The Iranians will be infiltrating suicide bombers over the Mexican Border at a greater rate than now.
Boy o Boy, Kid Kenya is going to just love his new war time powers, and so will every commie czar on his team! Patriotism. The last refuge of a scoundrel.
“If he does go after Iran, it will be because he is forced into it.”
It seems that “O” is impervious to ‘force’ as typically understood. Since he answers to NO ONE, and is accountable to NO ONE, I don’t know where anyone could drive a wedge into his armor.
I don’t even know if the US is in a position to act independently in the ME. After all … Liberals for decades have held up all and any direct remedies with their perpetual demand for all inclusive ‘diplomacy’, such as it is. Their standard policy is to play NO favorites where Israel is concerned. The “O” administration has carried this ME policy prerequisite to its ultimately asinine and dangerous conclusion. (I HOPE this last foolhardiness is the limit of Liberal ME blundering)
• How could the US carry out a strike on Iran with our record of arguing against force and even while YET warning Israel off the game?
• Would “O” have any better, more reliable or less grudging cooperation from other Muslim countries than previous administrations did when the US deployed in the Gulf?
• If “O” receives support for this from OTHER Muslim nations, WHAT will it cost us?
That would be Bibi. Israel should stay away from action on Iran. Let Egypt or some other middle east country do it. They want it but don't have the nads to hit their muzzie friends.
And WH goofball would not get the military on his side. Oh maybe Gates. And if it failed, obeeee would be under the bus by the lefties and most Americans.
