...before the election,....today per talking heads. Well, well, bombing Iran will likely cause retaliation against the United States, don't ya think??? Anything to help McBush get elected President. No doubt now that Johnny is a puppet of the Republican powers that be; McBush is so old and confused that he has surrendered his integrity just so he can be elected.

Is the Republican brand so decimated that they will resort to this kind of mayhem before the election?

The answer is yes.

Progunner,

You sound like a wild-eyed mad man. And, clueless!

progunr

Yep, thats me, wild eyed, clinging to my guns and lack of religion.

I'll be you think that 900 mile military exercise a few weeks ago, was just to make sure that the pilot's still knew how to fly, don't you.

Yeah, it's nothing to worry about, Israel would NEVER bomb another nation working on nuclear weapons now, would they???

Israel has no options if it wants to exist. If intelligence shows that Iran is nearing nuclear capability, along with the means to deliver it, it is either strike or perish for Israel. Nothing is more certain that Israel will survive. It is written the Book (believe it or not) and the USA has traditionally been Israel's supporter. I doubt Israel will publicly ask permission before striking. As Pro believes, what happens next is unclear, but it probably won't be pleasant. It won't make a dimes worth of difference who is in the White House either.

This is exactly right, in my view. Just think about who you would want in the Oval Office when all hell is breaking loose: Obama, the candidate of change; or McCain, a trained, military professional? (btw, I don't believe there is any other power on the planet that wants to tangle with the U.S., so as I said to Pro, don't spend a lot of time worrying about it).
