WAR

Editorial: War with Iran nears

Curmudgeonly & Skeptical

Today's WaTimes editorial makes the case.
  • Yesterday's assassination of important Iranian scientist alerts to more bloodshed ahead
  • The Obama administration's diplomatic outreach effort is dead,
  • Last month, top-secret technical notes from Iran's nuclear program were leaked that detailed research on a neutron initiator, the triggering mechanism for an atomic bomb.
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave the Obama White House a year to make progress with Iran, and instead, the situation has grown worse.
  • This week, a biological-warfare-preparedness exercise is being held in Tel Aviv and other cities. Starting late next month, gas masks will begin to be distributed to every Israeli citizen;
  • America is doubling the value of emergency military equipment stockpiled in Israel, which will be available for Israeli use in the event of an emergency.
The coming conflict will not be an overnight air strike followed by bellicose language, like the Israeli attack on the Syrian nuclear site in September 2007. Disrupting Iran's nuclear program will require Israel to undertake a sustained campaign. Iran will launch reprisal attacks through its proxies in Gaza and Lebanon, encourage Syria to respond, foment chaos in Iraq and Afghanistan and potentially order terror attacks on Western targets.


Editorializing the Editorial.
We have war when at least one of the parties to a conflict wants something more than it wants peace.  ~Jeane J. Kirkpatrick

Obama has shown some independence from the hard left surrender monkeys who engineered his election.  If I'm him, I'm thinking "my entire presidency is already verging on failure, so what can I do to turn it around?"  Well, someone will mention to Obama (I doubt he is that familiar with US History) that it was war, not FDR's New Deal, that ended the Great Depression.  He will also be told that WWII unified the nation in a balls-out effort to win it, so what the hell? Win-win, for him, right?

 So. Obama's question is, would he end up being FDR, or LBJ?  The answer: The United States can never, never ever, win any war as long as Democrats have any say in its execution.  It's LBJ/All the Way.  Sorry.

One word makes all six bullet points redundant:Ahmadinejad.
Apparently the guy really wants to trigger Armageddon so the well-wet Mahdi can give him some white raisins, and no earthly reason or temptation will sway him from his mission. A third eye will do the trick, however.
