Haven't you seen how fucking twitchy PeePants gets under the slightest pressure? At the end of the day he'd nuke the Osmonds if he thought they were making fun of them. Newt? He just wants to pull the trigger on someone.... just cause he already has the speeches already written from last time he ran and thought he might win.

Or his ordering the elimination of the Awlaki threat? Or perhaps the fact that he toppled Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar Gaddafi without a boot on the ground. I'm having a little trouble based on HIS ACTUAL RECORD figuring out just what the fuck leads you to that conclusion. Maybe I didn't translate your statement from fencepost correctly.

Why is the military intervention the only option being discussed here? One would be forgiven for thinking it's the only policy response available. It's not. There is another solution to the issue of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons - all the States in the area can agree to create a nuclear weapon free zone in the region. Of course that would entail Israel (currently the only nuclear armed State in the region) giving up its nuclear arsenal. Is this the reason why this solution isn't being considered or advanced? And, if that rather cynical view is in fact the case, won't this be a case of a needless (probably futile and almost certainly disastrous) military intervention to get the Israelis off a hook of their own making? Should someone be whispering this in the ears of the GOP candidates? It appears they are unaware of any other option other than military intervention. The option of a nuclear weapons free Middle East is a step towards peace that everyone can support. It's a far better solution than military intervention. It's peaceful permanent and has the pleasant side effect of giving all the nations and Govts in that troubled region something they can easily agree upon (if they're genuinely interested in peace).

When I heard the debate about Iran (on the overnight news), I couldn't believe my ears. Just how do they plan to whack Iran's program? Iran learned a lot by watching other "pre-emptive" actions in the region; their program is way, way underground in hardened bunkers. Why in the hell are we so worried about them when we're stirring up a nice hornet's nest over in nuclear-equipped Pakistan? You don't suppose that it's because once they get a nuke, we won't invade, eh? You know, like we invaded China, Russia, and North Korea.

ER, Pakistan and India kinda rule that out. I cna't picture India givng them up until China and Pakistan do. And Pakistan won't give them up as long as India has them. And the Chinese won't give them up until the USAsians do.

Tweak, the problem is that Obama has taken away the Republicans security blanket which is to call Democrats weak on everything military and infer they are commies. He's bent them over on that issue since he pretty much stayed the course on iraq and afghanistan, killed bin laden and there have been no successful attempts on us since he was elected........So, they are left with the only thing they possibly can do which is go even farther to the crazy side and say they will invade Iran. Everyone knows that it is stupid and crazy...and in all honesty none of them believe it. They are just frustrated they have no where to go with Obama on military issues.

Ummmm Tweak ....I am pointing out a certain pattern of error in another poster's addle headed remarks in one post and the UTTER folly of electing two others in the other post. How about you tell me which of these you differ with? Bearing in mind of course. I wasn't presenting ANYTHING as a possible solution.

Come on DYB,Perry is,if nothing else,entertaining....you just don't get better political theater than watching him stumble and bumble wracking his brain for that elusive third Federal agency [:D].

The dude is basically like some kind of soy filler to make the Iowa ballot look fatter.

Every head in the country would be on this "No Man, I heard it myself, dude's gonna get rid of the DEA... Fuck Paul, I know who I'm votin' for"

I loooove this!![sm=rofl.gif][sm=rofl.gif][sm=rofl.gif] Perry's charm offensive seems to be humanizing him and make him more likable. I don't think he has a chance. And I love Cain yuckin' it up over whether or not Anita Hill would endorse him!
