U.S. Readies Possible Attack on Iran!?!

JFK understood that when he stared at a nuclear war in early '60's. He sure as hell didn't decide that the military option was immediately a non-option. He fucking came within a cunt hair to pushing the button and launching a first strike himself and that's a fact. In the end, he played it cool and made a decision that mankind can be grateful for. The same can be said of Kruschev. Both sides finally realized the madness they were in.

But that was JFK. A decent leader with a functional brain. If Junior had been pResident in 1962, none of us would be here debating this right now, because that stupid fucking son of a bitch would have pushed the button FIRST.

I don't want war with Iran either. Nobody does. However, military means must always be on the table when discussing things of this nature.

Anyway, I wouldn't get to hot and bothered about Iran yet, LM.

I was going to make a similar point. The military option must stay on the table. This is diplomacy whilst carrying a big stick.

BUT, knowing how much gw&friends love a good war, I'm still thinking it's an inevitable outcome.

I think you're wrong.

If not, I don't think he'll have ANY support for that.

I hope to God I'm wrong! I hope I'm wrong about a lot of stuff.

You and I both know what it will take to get the public and Congress ready for another war.
