Only if Israel can absolutely assure that there will be no blowback against our soldiers in Iraq or Afghanistan, both of which border Iran.

Yeah, because Israel cares so damn much about our soldiers. (And really, why would they, even presuming good intentions to them? They are OUR soldiers, who necessarily are worth less than THEIR soldiers.)

We saw their view of American sailors when they massacred 34 of them on the USS Liberty.

Damn right I would support it.

Not only would I support it, I'd re-volunteer to take out whatever is left of the Revolutionary Guard in the aftermath. After two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, what's one more fight? I'd personally put a piece of lead right between Ahmedinejad's eyes and wouldn't think twice about it.

let the Jews for once take care of their security issues, we are not the world police and IRAN is no threat to us since we could turn Tehran into a nuclear parking lot in 30 minutes.

Do we really need a surrogate to fight our battles for us?

Big difference between "not found" and "didn't exist". The chemical weapons used to to gas Iranians and Kurds were very real. The records of their disposal were unreliable, and the fact that these weapons were not found in Iraq doesn't mean they are not in Syria.

Democrats made a political issue of the war they voted to authorize because they care more about their hold on political power than our nation. Bush took the political heat for doing what had to be done to protect us. When we get hit again, that will become crystal clear.

My kids love Israel so much, they have TWO goiters ! Tommy has a growth on his eyelid, and he calls it his EYERAN lid ! Yay team !

Public school system?

Sure...after you've done Big Brother's service against Eurasia and Eastasia, what is there really left to do, expect fight Eurasia again?
