Times On-line - OMG - Outlines war with Iran - 57% of Americans approve?


Unbelivable. We are on the verge of world war III.

Link to the story...

Also, link to the story about the Iran war game exercise that showed:

So this is how the war game turned out: with a finding that the next American President must, through bluff and patience, change the actions of a government whose motives he does not understand well, and over which his influence is limited. "After all this effort, I am left with two simple sentences for policymakers," Sam Gardiner said of his exercise. "You have no military solution for the issues of Iran. And you have to make diplomacy work."

1. Bullshit!
There is no chance that 57% of Americans support a war with Iran.

3. Who knows?

I am sure the poll question was distorted and meant to lead the person to answer in the affirmative...

They will use whatever propaganda is available to them.

A war with Iran is coming. These lunatics are going to destroy the globe.

They need to be locked up. They are literally a danger to survival on this planet.

5. This criminally insane posse needed to be locked up years ago.
They have already murdered hundreds of thousands of innocents, with mortal consequences to come still for years (depleted uranium, the contamination in NYC after 9/11 when the EPA said it was OK to breathe the air, suicides resulting from PTSD and other, chemically inflicted neurological disorders, the Katrina purges).

These people will go down in history as worse than the Third Reich, mark my words.

4. That is to assume that 57% of Americans know where Iran is
That's what happens when the greedy corporatists want peaceable friendly and ever expanding markets. They have to force the U.S. hand to make friends with China and the Soviets. Now all the military-industrial complex has to prop their flagging and over bloated operations is some religious war that was basically abandoned quite a few centuries ago.

6. How's the Military Recruiting Going?
That's the real measure of support for yet another war.

The 57% support number includes the Republican windbag brigade.

8. I think until there is a draft, chicken hawks everywhere will sign on


To a war they KNOW they won't have to fight.
