It's ALL a great big game of chicken, there's certainly nothing that will be accomplished by WW III.

Just my opinion, of course.
If Israel opens a can o'whoop-ass on anybody you better believe it's not going to be a slap on the wrist.

The only thing I want to be able to believe is that the consequences are theirs and theirs alone.

You know that's not likely to happen.

If it doesn't I hope the impeachment papers are readied quickly for whoever occupies the White House at the time.

Armada of British naval power massing in the Gulf as Israel prepares an Iran strike - Telegraph


That's a naval exercise announced several months ago, not preparations for WWIII.

I have not been keeping up with this but I watched a programe this morning that was discussing this and the conclusion from both sides was a lose lose situation for Israel and the US. Iran is moving material inside some mountain range and harding the facility. Israel feels it a necesssity to stop them but wants US support but that is not likely going to happen - instead US will give them a yellow light and let them bear the consequences - in the end Iran either has a nuke or the US or Israel must stop them. No win situation.

For what it is worth I always thought the Iraq and Afgan war was about a longterm strategy (10+ years) to isolate Iran because they knew it would one day have to be dealt with through war.

We will see???

Sh*t, or get off the pot.

Compassion for innocent civilians, makes our wars we wage, unwinnable, no matter how long they last.

Get - Ready.
Get ready for what? Our country is founded on immigration.

And only the nuts here think a WW3 is always coming.

This country was founded on immigration I agree - LEGAL IMMIGRATION!!!!!

Not the covert kind that slips thru the cracks and shows up unannounced, unregulated and jeopardizes our national security!

What we have now is NATIONAL IN-SECURITY.

Because of over 20 years of broken borders. We have NO IDEA who is in this country today!

Muslim extremists breach border

Controversial Muslim cleric caught being smuggled into U.S. over Mexico border



Keep reading your liberal progressive pablum, buying what the Obama Administration wants you to believe, as you watch your MSNBC, CNN, and listen to NPR.

The alarm is ringing! Are you going to keep hitting the snooze button or wake up! It's time to open your eyes!
