REPUBLICAN ARE WARMONGERING MURDERERS


RAWR

5/7/2008 1:48:41 PM

i wouldnt call them warmongering murderers but they are a bit hawkish

5/7/2008 1:56:06 PM

there are hawks and there are those who aren't afraid to pull the trigger. i prefer the latter when necessary

5/7/2008 1:59:16 PM

just leave the military up to the republicans guys, you can have the oval office for a couple years here and do your damage to the health care and education systems, but let's keep the hippies away from that which keeps us all safe.

k? we cool wit dat? thx

5/7/2008 2:02:37 PM

I dunno, dropping a 'weed bomb' which makes a nation stoned and too apathetic to fight a war is much better than wiping half of their population out in my opinion.

5/7/2008 2:03:45 PM

Any sort of military action against Iran would require a major change in the situation on their end -- eg, a successful nuclear bomb test.

5/7/2008 2:09:01 PM

well at some point our stance needs to change...iran just keeps enriching...

5/7/2008 2:12:48 PM

yeah, a 3 front war with an already overstretched military isn't a bad idea at all....D-R-A-F-T anyone?

5/7/2008 2:46:11 PM

Cause we FUCKED the middle east and gave birth to a deamon

Better do something quick, or else they might start burning it in nuclear power plants - reducing their fossil fuel use.

Save me republicans. Oh save me please.

LOLZ you are in more danger now than ever, n00b.

5/7/2008 3:13:32 PM

omg, I will never be safe if we establish diplomatic ties with Iran. I will be much safer with Bush or Hillary threatening them with nuclear warfare.

I support this plan of action.

But seriously, there would be a draft if we invaded Iran. Oil would absolutely soar, crippling the economy at a time when it's already very weakened by high energy prices. This would be a stupid, stupid move in so many ways.

5/7/2008 4:20:23 PM

^yeah, but the country's prospects look bleek with or without war, i think war would be for longterm economic stability and is bush's version of an energy policy

5/7/2008 5:27:32 PM

i thought our main military action toward iran was gonna be tactical nuclear strikes

5/7/2008 5:28:37 PM

Do you really think there that a comparison of the country going to war with Iran and not going to war with Iran is similar at all? Doing this would dramatically alter the future of the country in a negative way. Saying something like, "Well, we're already fucked so we might as well invade this country." is completely retarded. We might not be entering a period of American prosperity but we'll certainly be better off by not invading Iran.

If Bush's long term energy policy is to procure more oil then it has already failed miserably.

5/7/2008 5:32:00 PM

^if oil prices continue to rise and we have to compete for oil with asia then having an iran as a supplier would be a huge benefit,
maybe worth the cost of war, who knows, im just speculating

5/7/2008 5:39:00 PM

Oh you mean kinda like how Iraq supplies us with all that oil? Wait...

Just cuz they have it doesn't mean we would get it cheap if we take them over. If we went over there and just decided to take it they would overrun the oil fields with suicide bombers and we wouldn't get shit.

5/7/2008 5:50:39 PM

They could spend the next 4 years talking up the WMDs in Iran, a war would still have HORRIBLE public support. I mean, that credibility of the executive branch for saying a country having WMDs isn't great to begin with, and the entire lip service now is complete crap.

I would outright protest a war with Iran.

5/7/2008 5:57:17 PM

why cant we just get the jews to fight iran for us

5/7/2008 6:10:38 PM

oops forgot to mention that the biggest reason that we invaded iraq and why we may invade iran
is because both countries were trying to swith their oil trading from using dollars to using euros and also encourage other countries to do the same
if that occurred we'd be in the stone age overnight

5/7/2008 6:29:43 PM

^^ because it's the other way around, yo

5/7/2008 6:32:07 PM

How would that put us in the stone age? I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying I completely don't understand what you're thinking. It's possible you're completely correct.

5/7/2008 6:40:08 PM

because these oil countries use the dollar for trading oil it creates a cycle of petro, goods, and dollars that is very beneficial to the US banks

currently there are trillions of dollars of oil money sitting in new york
if they switch currency the cycle would break and appearantly thats very bad

search for "petro dollar blah blah" video online

here it is

5/7/2008 7:24:38 PM

^haha, so you take my posts as a support for the war, no man
i think the whole idea is evil
unless you look at it as everyone is out for their survival
like people on an island with nothing to eat

i in no way think this is moral, its is evil, but i doubt the govt is just gonna sit there and let this country fall apart

There is no way Congress would ever let him do that.

5/20/2008 8:32:21 AM

^Congress is irrelevant. He can just claim that the authorization to use force in Iraq allows an attack on Iran, too. Who's going to stop him?

5/20/2008 10:15:38 AM

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

LOL

Honestly though I think you'd see a pretty swift impeachment if BushCo launched an unauthorized, unprovoked attack on Iran.
