WASHINGTON - A former special adviser on Iran policy to the Obama Administration said that a US-perpetrated strike on the Islamic Republic on is the "least bad" option in dealing with its nuclear threat.
"The truth is that a military strike intended to destroy Irans nuclear program, if managed carefully, could spare the region and the world a very real threat and dramatically improve the long-term national security of the United States," Matthew Kroenig, a nuclear security expert at the Council on Foreign Relations who served as a strategist under Defense Secretary Robert Gates, said in an article published by Foreign Affairs Magazine.

Gerald Celente the trends researcher who predicted the fall of the Soviet Union, 1987 Stock Market collapse, Tech bubble and the recent Real Estate Bubble and bank failures, two years ago predicted that the bankers and central gov banks are out of options on how to avoid a severe Depression and currency printing/swaps to keep the ponzi scheme going will resort to war as a way out of the crisis and keep society attention away from the true villians of our economic crisis (bankers and gov). Even a leftist like Obama brought and paid for by Wall Street bankers and ruling elite cannot escape the standard playbook, when economic crisis is unsolvable take the nation to war!!!! Time to stock up on gold, silver and oil stocks.
We cant afford it.
Yeah, we have 0bama now.
We should have invaded Iran rather than Iraq.
I figure this is Obama’s trial balloon for wag the dog.
Any attack will not involve ground troops.
The Iranians have been doing lots of digging for years, guess why?
We would have no coalition partners, not even Israel.
They will build a bomb anyway.
He and Dominique Strauss-Kahn party together.
“Nuke Expert: Time To Attack Iran”
Sorry bud...its way past time to attack Iran- that should have been taken care of in 1979.
Start a world war , right . We’d never get rid of Obozo !
We already know that Obama will side with Islam.
He said he would.
The threat Iran poses is not a threat to the United States alone. It is a world wide threat.
Europe is closer than we are and in more danger.Of course with a nutbag sitting in Venezuela and in Cube we could have nukes on our doorstep. If Iran gets the bomb I think it is safe to say they will make a couple for Venezuela.
There should be a worldwide coalition to stop Iran from manufacturing that bomb, But China and Russia seem to think they will be safe. The Saudis are afraid of themselves, and Muslims of other sects.Obama isn’t about to act to stop anyone.
Twere I President,,,,,
I would pull our troops out of all kinds of places, I would issue an ultimatum;
“If anything, anything, comes from your countries, that harms or attacks our interests, or the interests of our allies, you have 24 hours to remove your civilians from your cities. Because,,,, in 24 hours,,, you will have no cities. They will be uninhabitable rubble. Your infrastructure will be gone. No cities, no water, no electric, no gas, no airports, no bridges, etc., etc..”
But,,, I’m a dreamer,,,,,,...
Recently Saudi Arabia started making noise about a unified islamic Middle East taking out Iran.
Why would Obama want to strike Iran when he seemingly likes giving the Iranian regime Christmas presents like a Drone?
