jwblue · Nov 13, 2011

It is not looking good.

Presidential press conference tonight at 6:00 PM.

Sunday press conferences are usually a bad sign.

That might be just what the enemy needs to bankrupt us.

Iran/ Iraq....what's the difference ?

HuskerFan1 · Nov 13, 2011

haha we go to war and you can forget about the dollar....it would bankrupt the country....we are already running trillion dollar deficits...we get another dragged out war with iran and you can forget it....1.5/2trillion a year deficits...the ratings agencies will take a blow torch to our rating lowering it notch after notch...interest rates would spike like they did in spain and there is NOWAY we could sustain the interest on the debt...

gold would fly to 3000oz and silver would run to 100oz within a year...

why the world cant just get along, this is another govt war propaganda about the nuclear. They were scaring everyone on how there is a WMD on iraq but there wasnt, this was the same UN agency who claim that there was. These warmongers are evil and we know that nobody wins war but those corporations who manufacture weapons design to kill us. USA is a bully arould the world and i pray and hope for their failure.

There is an interesting comment in the Fox article made by a reader.

Taking out Sad*am Hu*sein was a huge foreign policy blunder. He was an a***ole, but he was our a***ole. He was a SECULAR military dictator. He wasn't the least bit interested in Is*amic fundamentalists. He provided a checkmate on Iran and if he were in power today Iran would not be acting as it has. For those of you with short memories, remember it was Rumsfeld and MacFarlane during the Reagan administration who made those well documented trips to provide support to Saddam in his war with Iran.

Hopefully, Israel steps up to the plate here.

I dont get it.. We have had these weapons for decades and we still expect the rest of the world to live in the dark ages and if we dont like the leader we feel its are need to invade them. No wonder why some of these Nations hate us..

We sat on our hands while North Korea developed nukes. Why is it different now?

These guys are a threat to Israel. That's all that you need to know.

DeathEatsaCracker · Nov 14, 2011

Good point. I wonder why an otherwise insignificant country of 7 million dictates our foreign policy?

Oh yeah....religion.

Because NK doesn't want to be a martyr for Allah.

But even without the influence of religion they are just as crazy and delusional as anyone seeking martyrdom.

Can not allow the nutbag leaders in iran to get nucs..they may them already

carlspackler · Nov 14, 2011

You guys are worrying way too much. We are veterans at this shit. What is going to happen is that we will go into Iran with some shock and awe and then put boots on the ground. Then we will get our regime change on and kick the crazy Mullahs from power. The citizens of Tehran will see our troops as liberators and welcome us with open arms. It shouldn't take more that two or three weeks then everything will be back to normal. Jeeze.

ProPokerPlayer · Nov 14, 2011

Not sure what will happen....not even sure there is a threat at all. I would think it has a lot more to do with Israel being scared of OBummers foreign policy. Everytime he comes up with a stupid idea Israel starts this Iran needs to be attacked B.S. Turning over Libya and Egypt to Al-Quida has to be the stupidist thing a Pres. has ever done in the history of this nation.....

Arms held by Libya former Army are now being shipped to Palestine thru Egypt. Missile attacks on Israel have been increasing daily and with their new equipment they can now actually aim the damn things instead of just lobbing them over and hoping for a hit. You will hear all about the increased attacks on the network news tonight.....NOT! Since we are now the most uninformed country on the planet we as a people are powerless, our opinions mean nothing, we have no power to curb idiot politicians and the stories we get are bullshit designed to keep us unaware of the true meanings of the actions our govt is taking.
Anyone who thinks the "Arab spring" was anything but a total disaster for the U.S. and Israel is a fool.. The worst part is it was all done intentionally to bring about the chaos that we now face.....

Not really. NK doesn't want to get hit with a nuke because they would die. Iran wouldn't mind getting hit with a nuke because they would die and Allah will be good to them.
