I sugest a full scale attack on Israel. That would save us a lot of political protection money.

Yes! We cannot continue to let them the technology for more advanced donkey shows. Despite their claims of experimenting with different sorts of viagra-laced hay everyone knows that international donkey-show observers have been repeatedly stymied in their attempts to document the situation.

We must put a stop to this now. Roll into Mexico with army, marines, and teams of veterinarians.

I think Obama will goad the Iranians into attacking our ships and it will be game on.. "Gee our ships were attacked so we had to respond". He will use this to boost his popularity. No other real reason other than politics. We do need to take them out, but the timing of this is questionable.

It is funny what happens when a nation is FORCED to protect its sovereignty.

Things can get bloody.

Exactly. The lives lost are inconsequential. The political gains are all that matter.

To the best of my memory, John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson were BOTH democrats and got the initial support to deploy into Viet Nam. Richard Nixon (a republican) got us out. Feel free to correct me on this.
