War with Iran?

You have got to be kidding....


We are broke. ( except for the special holdings of the very rich etc)
China and Russia are not going to go along with this.
The ME is destroying our economy.


Among other reasons.

You can only say something before the war starts, then after the war starts if you are against it, your words can be seen as treason in wartime. So say what you have to say now before it begins. And really, if we have any more war on our dime in the ME, it will be very harmful to the US.

If Isreal has a problem with Iran creating nukes then let Israel take care of it while we watch.  Other countries have nuclear weapons and we are living with it, so this objection to Iran having them is a sham that has been blown out of proportion.  If Iran wants to commit suicide then let her attack someone with a nuke. I don't think she is that dumb.

Iran wants the luxury of hiding behind a nuclear shield like we do, and like Isreal does, so it can support world extremists like the Hezbollah. If she were to get a nuclear weapon the rest of the world can still hurt her with the economic sanctions, which are already having an effect.

A war with Iran will cause the price of crude oil to go bonkers, something we can ill afford any time.  Until we can become independent in energy
our best bet is to leave Iran alone. Even if we had plenty of crude oil from friendly countries the price would still skyrocket if war breaks out in the Persian Gulf region.  Our best bet is to reduce our dependence on crude oil as a feedstock for motor fuel, and we need to make this a priority.

There are alternates to crude oil and petro based fuels, and until we get off the oil barrel we will continue to stick our noses into the ME.  So who are we bleeding and dying for unless it is Israel and Big Oil?

Damn we are a  bunch of ninnies.

The huge problem is, that if Israel makes the idiot decision to attack Iran, the U.S. will be obligated to come to her rescue. The same way we got involved  in WWI and WWII. The same way we got involved in Gulf War1 and Iraq and Afghanistan.

Israel can not handle Iran alone. Look how she got her ass kicked by Lebanon. Also, there has been no solid proof or any evidence of Iran making nuclear weapons. NONE!!

It's all in the plan and you guys just aren't getting it. The idea all along is for the Zionists to control the entire Middle East, from the Nile to the Euphrates. They have no way of taking over Iran, other to accuse her of something, just as they did with Saddam having "Weapons of Mass Destruction", which they have yet to find. And the accusation that Bin Laden was hiding in Afghanistan after he was already dead.

My guess is what I have posted before, "someone" will attack one of the U.S. ships that now sits in the Gulf of Hormuz and that will get the whole thing going. WWIII like it or not.

And all because we have been tricked into believing that "Israel is our only ally in the Middle East".

We NEED Ron Paul in the White House!!

First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
