Cheney calls Iran an obstacle to peacePosted: 10 months ago by DrNothing Cheney's comments underscored a ratcheting up of U.S. rhetoric toward Iran and came just days after President George W. Bush warned that a nuclear-armed Iran could lead to World War Three. And of course the Neocons want to beat them to it... Comments: 5 Score: [-] 122 [+].

Yeah, lets just ignore the fact that the entire world hates us and Korea has a dictator that is building up a pretty scary offensive army, as well as WMD's... no lets worry about Iran.

Now let's be uber-stupid and go after them a la the Nazi's invading both Britian and Russia at the same time. A time when troops are depleted, the country has no taste for war, the country (as a majority) doesn't agree with this and there are other options on the table.
Insanity!
It is clearly time to impeach this regime. Score: [-] 86 [+]. Posted: 10 months ago by DerAlt1: Damn! Who's running the asylum?
This kind of stupidity lends a lot of credence to what Generals Sanchez and Odom have said about the Iraq war and the inability of this administration to properly fight it.
We don't have enough troops to fight this war effectively so lets start another.
I would imagine that any action against Iran would put all of our troops in even greater danger. But perhaps they can scare us enough again to vote in another Republican
