Will US join Israel in Iran strike?

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

That was sarcasm

Then we're good.

He fcuked it up. At least you can admit it.

He did? How? By not mentioning the troops? Let's face it, most Americans don't give a flying fuсk about the troops. They may think (or indeed *say*) they do, but they really don't. If they really cared, the US military wouldn't be deployed in more than 150 countries around the world.

Actions speak louder than words. Obama grew the military and doubled down in Afghanistan. Some pacifist!

Yes, by not acknowledging the men and women in uniform and the service they do for this country. No candidate for president has ever ignored the troops.

What has the Tea Party got to do with going to war?

If anything, they're most likely to vote against a war, as it will mean the government spending more money, which is one of the main things they oppose.

Only the same as Democrats and Republicans.

'Iran must steer clear of US interests in Gulf'

Washington reportedly sends Tehran indirect message saying it will not back Israeli strike on nuclear facilities as long as Iran refrains from attacking American facilities in Persian Gulf

The United States has indirectly informed Iran, via two European nations, that it would not back an Israeli strike against the country's nuclear facilities, as long as Tehran refrains from attacking American interests in the Persian Gulf, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Monday.

According to the report, Washington used covert back-channels in Europe to clarify that the US does not intend to back Israel in a strike that may spark a regional conflict.

In return, Washington reportedly expects Iran to steer clear of strategic American assets in the Persian Gulf, such as military bases and aircraft carriers.

Israeli officials reported an unprecedented low in the two nations' defense ties, which stems from the Obama administration's desire to warn Israel against mounting an uncoordinated attack on Iran.

Romney has zero foreign policy and defense experience. Ryan has zero foreign policy and defense experience. These two clowns will depend on their foreign policy and defense advisers 100%. Their advisers are the same neo-cons that are responsible for the ** up in Iraq. It's not a stretch to see them starting another one of these ** ups.

And Obama had zero experience when he got elected. And look what a great job he's done.

Or you could look at GWB. His lack of experience or whatever was disastrous!

and got us into Libya.. The war is over Dogs and Soldiers stay off the grass please

One day a Liberal is going to tell us in a sentence why Obama has done good, instead of blaming Bush. Not sure when that will happen. You keep trying to justify Obama's stupidity by pointing to Bush's stupidity.. Duh

Bush was awful. Obama is more of the same on Steroids.

In case you missed it or couldn't understand the post I was responding to, the point I was making was in response to the implied reassurance that inexperience in foreign policy may turn out well (Obama). The point needed to be made that foreign policy could also be the disaster that GWB was. Which one R&R would be is unknown now but their ill-informed blustering on the stump about Iran and Russia has echoes of GWB and his war to find non-existent WMD's in Iraq.

[james&olya 1,121]

and got us into Libya..

Really? You think we are 'in' Libya? How many troops are on the ground there? How many US fatalities? The daffy one is gone at far lower cost in money, lives, and reputation than what the repubs did in Iraq! Are you as truth-impaired as R&R themselves?

Russia and China are also considered to be allies of Iran.

The winning '08 ticket had foreign policy experience. The GOP '12 ticket has NONE.
