Obama will more than likely have a meeting with Ahmanutjawb and then proclaim to the world the new era of Iran being able to contribute Muslim nuclear technology.

Obama will side with Islam...to the end.

” but to get his poll numbers up (rally round the president affect). “

Targeting information on Aspirin Factories, and Baby Formula plants is being programmed into the Tomahawks, as we speak — that worked so well for BJC, after all....

No way will the generals allow a single boot to set foot on Iranian territory.

THAT is a war we could win if we had the will, but there is no stomach for the type of battle that would come.

We don’t fight “wars” any more. We tie one or two arms behind our backs and slap at the enemy.

Probably a lame attempt to boost Democrat poodles’ chances in the mid terms.

After November 2, we go back to kissing Ahmanutjob’s backside and slapping Israel around like a red headed stepchild.

It may well be seen as an act of war on Russia if the United States were to bomb Iran’s nuclear facility. It will not surprise me, however, and it is not outside the realm of possibility that the friendly Bears are expecting and counting on it.

The war coalition will be Israel and various Gulf Nations.

Obama will join in after the fact

Agree 100%. This is typical state run media trying to make o-bow-ma look like a man instead of a limp wimp. ‘LOOK - there is a rumor that the President may have had a secret meeting where an un-named adviser floated the possibility of a US air strike AGAINST IRAN’s nuclear facility and o-bow-ma is said to be pondering the possibility.’

In reality this is a Liberal nightmare and a Journolist’s wet dream.

He seems to be bombing in this country, so why not Iran, too?
