    Iran does not control the oil coming through the Straight of Hormuz.

    And they cannot control it as long as the US and our allies navy can enter the Gulf and wage conventional war.

    But in such a confined area we cannot operate our fleet if the Iranians have nuclear weapons.

    Yeah...talk about a line of propaganda. Go ahead and ignore the fact that Iran is enriching their uranium...a move that is necessary only in the event that someone is making a bomb. Do you think no one will notice? :no:

    As already documented, Turkey, at least, is refusing to support sanctions in Iran. And the Egyptians are now under the control of other religious theocrats, so what is the likelihood they will do anything that matters?
    The options are only two fold: keep on the current course and allow the Mullahs a nuclear bomb? Or support Israel, instead of stabbing them in the back as Obama has done as he tells Iran, leave us alone...we are not going to stop you!

    A surgical strike into Iran would not result in war, just as the same sort of strike at Saddam's nuclear bomb facilities (the Osirak reactor) resulted in no war whatsoever (speaking of irrational hysteria).

    They also have psychotic theorats like Ahmandinejad regularly threatening to expunge Israel from the face of the earth while they simultaneously build their nuclear bombs.

    How easy it is to ignore the threats of madmen when someone else is in the crosshairs. Your historical antecedents allowed Hitler to rise to power because it was easier to sit in their easy chairs and dismiss the threat that did not involve them (yet).

    Sanctions, yet no threat of military intervention?...

    Seems counterintuitive to announce such a thing, in my opinion.


    Yeah, way to go Obama! You've once again demonstrated what a dumbass you are.

    Iran has to make a bomb to insure that Israel will leave them alone.

    Then Saudi Arabia will have to get a bomb.

    Do you remember back in 2002.. Ariel Sharon said that as soon as Bush finished in Iraq, he was going to attack Iran.

    Egypt's Mursi is acting like a statesman...

    If Israel's terror is real, then they should go right ahead and blow up Iran.. There are 25 embedded nuclear targets and they can do mid air refueling as they come down the Red Sea and round the coast of Yemen.

    But, its time that Israel either bombed Iran or SHUT up.

    Not when you have a nuclear Iran. If Iran does get the bomb the status quo is going to change real fast in Iran's favor. If Iran were to close the Straights and a collation were to force it open, Iran would be backed in to a corner and they would use the bomb. The only question would be is were and how?

    I think Israel has done everything humanly possible to avoid bombing Iran.

    But it is the spineless Euro libs and the libs around here who refused to act when they could have.

    Now there may no way to avoid war thanks to the left-wingers.

    I think they would use it against our fleet in the Gulf.

    Obama and Margot will be responsible for the death of thousands of US sailors and airmen.

    Expect Iran doesn’t need to move their oil through the straights. What is Iran? A coast based country. If they close it the cards are in their favor.

    As far as raising vessels goes, which isn’t as easy as it sounds, how are you going to get the support ships in the AO when you still have an enemy who is in control of the area?

    Delusional. They have Jews living in Iran right now. They are doing a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing horrible job of converting the world to Islam if they cant even do it in their own borders.

    They would. If they had more then one, the fleet in the Gulf, targets in israel and other gulf states like Saudi, UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait would be attacked.

    Oh really? Who will force the reopening of the strait, if the US is "not involved"?

    This announcement is nothing more than an extension of the longtime Grovel-o-crat foeign policy of butt-kissing our enemies, and screwing our allies, started by Carter, with Apology Tour 101, contnued by Clinton with Apology Tour #2, perfected under Obama, with Apology Tour #3,and the DIRECT ASSISTANCE of US assets in helping terrorists take over two ofthe most moderne militaries in the Middle East, CUT SHORT BY ROMNEY, staring in January, 2013.

    As Margot keeps pointing out - the mullahs may be crazy but they aren't stupid.

    The US fleet would be the most immediate threat and I think it would be their primary target.
