The Winds Of War

Most think that only Republican presidents push for war, but that is far from true. Kennedy got us into Vietnam and LBJ kept us there. Nixon got us out. FDR got us into WW II (and rightly so) and George H. W. Bush got us started in the Middle East (and rightly so as well).

As Obama's hopes for a second term start to fade, will he push to start a war with Iran?
He will of course make it look like he has no choice, and he may not, but it might be good
for his re-election. 

Would it fool you Liberals? Would you still vote for a war mongering Obama? Are you that
big of a hypocrit after all the grief you gave George W. Bush? 

Personally, I hope it will not come to that, but Obama's secret backers (like the Saudis) 
may require that Obama start something with Iran. They are not exactly friends, as I
understand it, but, believe me, I do not understand a lot about what goes on over there. 
There must be something in the water or something. Them bitches be crazy.

Wait? Fool me? You've got two options here. Either Iran isn't a threat and Obama doesn't have a choice or he's making the only decision available and it's not fooling anybody. Aside from budget issues nobody gives Bush shit for the Afghanistan war either.

They are scared shitless. You'd want a nuke too if you lived in that neighborhood.

Sounds like you would give him the benefit of the doubt, just as most gave Bush the benefit of the doubt, and FDR. I am just saying that it would not surprise me if Obama got into it with Iran just to boost his ratings. These things are hard to know. I suppose it is a matter of whether you trust a president generally, which I do not. There is not much I can do about it except help vote him out, which I will since it is beginning to look like I will have someone to vote for, as well.

I hope you do get Santorum. That way my Christmas gift from the world will be you having to admit that Conservatism is dead. I might have a hard time convincing you it's been dead for seventy odd years but you'll have to admit that today it's just a corpse.

Still you're official stance now is that Iran isn't a threat and if OBama goes to war it's for ratings and not American/Israeli lives?

Sad to say but yep, I think the drums of war are introducing another one coming. This oil issue could be resolved with new technology (that already exists, even if some of it is only in theory) but the nuclear issue won't go away just like that I'm sorry to say.
