The progressive bureaucracy was the worst problem Bush was unwilling or unable to address. There is no sign that Obama is in disagreement with his State or CIA allies. He is getting ready to hand Afghanistan to the Taliban through negotiations. Why would he bomb Iran?
Not in a million years will he attack a Muslim nation.
Bombing Iran would give 0bamao a bounce in the polls.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Come October, the dems and Bambi will be madly desparate for SOMETHING-ANYTHING to shake the nation’s attention away from the election of GOP candidates. He either bombs Iran or announces on live television that the United States has been in contact with an alien civilization.
THAT’S how desparate they will be.
These two “non-hawks” are “cogently” talking out their collective arses........=.=
IF The One attacks Iran, it can’t go on very long before either the Iranians throw in the towel and the air strikes end, or they don’t and it spins totally out of control, including the closure of the Straits of Hormuz to ALL the oil tankers heading out to the rest of the world. Oil prices skyrocket, and those few Americans who still have jobs are forced to bicycle to work.
If it ends quickly, the Dems will rally round The One. If it doesn’t, he’ll shut down the internet and “postpone” the election “during this time of great national emergency.” either way, it’s all about Him.
Shutting down the straights of Hormuz won’t directly affect us. We get very little of our oil from the gulf.
Unfortunatley, I believe we get a large amount of our oil from Venezuela. Chavez would cut off our supply. We would have to attack Venezuela in that case.
Will we stop at 4 wars or will we need to have more?
The guess here is that Bam & Co. are planning an Oct. surprise to surgically eliminate Iran’s nuke capability or support an Israeli attack. His hatred of Israel won’t matter as power here at home is more important. He’ll get the Jewish support he needs to offset Pubbie gains. Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the UAE are very nervous about the Iran buildup and will support such a strike. It’s all about power!!
We may not get a lot of OUR oil via that route, but many of our allies do, including the Japanese. The uncertainty of supply is what will drive up the price...that, and the manipulation of the market by speculators, as happened two years ago.
As to Venezuela, IIRC we get more of our oil from Canada than from Chavez — and his oil has a high sulphur content, which means it’s more expensive to refine. What we should be doing is converting more of our usage to natural gas...of which it appears we have a sizable domestic supply.
So Obama, like Clinton before him, wants to prove to us that he’s a ‘real man’, by lobbing a few missiles?
If Bambi bombs Iran watch all the Soros-paid sleepers, double agent trolls, Stockholm Syndrome pantywaist conservatives and do-gooder pray-for-your-enemy types here bow down to the Kenyan usurper. It’s like Clinton covering his ass during the Lewinski scandal by bombing Serbia. Wag the dog: it’s an instant ticket out of the negative ratings territory for Obomba.
In spite of all that it would almost be worth it to see the evil ayatollah scum get whats coming to them for the last thirty years. Bomb Bambi, Bomb!
Obama wouldn’t dare risk an a$$ kicking from china and Russia.
You got that right. And he would use a nuke on Fox...
