      Nope, they're taking a page from the Rove "Be afraid very afraid" playbook on Iran......

      Mitt Romney said his first trip, if he is president, will be to Israel, "to show the world we care about that country and that region."

      Romney did not say whether he would help Israel launch an attack on Iran to stop Tehran from getting nuclear weapons, because inexplicably he wasn't asked. Romney did say that he favors "crippling sanctions" and indicting Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at the United Nations for inciting genocide.

      Newt Gingrich was asked if he would take military action against Iran, and said he would with one caveat: it would have to lead to regime change.

      But Gingrich added: "If my choice was to collaborate with the Israelis on a conventional campaign or force them to use their nuclear weapons, it would be an extraordinarily dangerous world if out of a sense of being abandoned they went nuclear and used multiple nuclear weapons in Iran. That would be a future none of us would want to live through."

        I know Mitt a little. He seems like a very motivated guy. I think he is one of these Mormons who sees climbing the ladder as helping the image of Mormons. Mormons desperately want to be accepted and want to be important. Is Mitt nuts? I don't think so, I think he suffers from tunnel vision more than anything. He's not a in the wool CFR member. I think he is like Reagan in many ways. Complicated and hard to figure out. I would say Newt is a full in the wool establishment member.

          Regarding Israel. The government there is the problem. I don't think people realize how well the muslims and jews actually get along there. It's the government that stirs the shit. It's the minority religious extremist that stir the shit. The average person there just wants to make a living period. Sometimes you can support the people of a nation and call out their government. You can support the idea of Israel but you can criticize their thuggery. In many ways they are doing exactly what the nazis did a half century ago.

            If that's true why do the Israelis keep on electing these fucking borderline fascist militaristic thugs into government?

                I think part of the reason why we've never taken the next step towards military action in Iran is similar to that of North Korea....

                Meaning, the US knows that those fuckers are crazy enough to do some radical stuff in retaliation, like tactical nukes or chemical weapons....

                    My paranoid Spidy sense tells me this is a plot by the Illuminati to kick start the war with Iran sooner than expected.

                      It's election suicide if they pursue the war mongering rhetoric with 2 failed occupations and an economy that's in the toilet.

                        Guess what country was helping us in our War on Terra after 9/11......yep, Iran.

                        Iran was also leaning towards a moderate government/religious leadership....extending an olive branch our way, which Bush promptly shit all over.

                        So this is yet another example of how Cowboy Diplomacy fails.

                        We had a chance to have a powerful friend in the middle east and end decades of strained relations.
                        Yep. Ahmadinnerjacket was only elected AFTER Chimpy placed Iran in the fictional "Axis of Evil", because the Likud puppet PNAC fucksticks who controlled his fraudministration (Perle/Feith/Wolfoshitz/Chertoff/etc) insisted on it.

                        The previous figurehead, and even the mullahs themselves were far more willing to work with the US before then. And why not? They didn't have any love for Sunni regimes like the Saudis or Saddam either.

                          Not so much the Illuminati as the NuttyYahoo. He's been obsessed with starting a war in Iran since his first turn as Israeli PM in the mid 90's.

                            Iran has been threatening to rain missiles on Israel for quite a long time...

                            Perhaps the hawks that keep squawking for military action in Iran can have their kids volunteer to fight it....

                            But we can't do that, can we....
                            Over the weekend, I read that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards even threatened to attack early warning sites in Turkey.

                              Do we look bad as a country if they try to or are successful, counter with something?

                              Not a full blown war or something, but what does the us do then?

                                I don't think Iran is a "real" enemy of the USA. I think we've been pitched the "war with Iran is coming" for decades, ever since the Ayatollah and the hostage crisis.
                                It could become a self fulfilling prophesy
