Obama Plans To Invade Iran

Quote:
“It is unacceptable for Iran to possess a nuclear weapon, it would be a game changer,” Obama said. “It’s sufficient to say I would not take military action off the table and that I will never hesitate to use our military force in order to protect the homeland and the United States’ interests.”
Obama: Surge Succeeded Beyond ‘Wildest Dreams’ - America’s Election HQ

Oh come on. You know when Bush said it, that was the headline.

Re: Obama Plans To Invade Iran

Bush has an established track record of pre-emptive invasion where as Obama does not (yet).

So, as a voter, I have to decide if the annihilation of Israel is the cost I'm willing to pay to see if Obama's judgment on foreign policy is good.

I'll pass. Better safe than sorry.

If you think that Iran will nuke Israel you're DELUSIONAL.

Still though, this deserves more attention.

Plans to invade Iran after it has a nuke would be a little stupid. Just as stupid as waiting for UN resolution 20 or more on the subject. So, what makes it ok for him to suggest this yet Bush suggesting this just adds to that old freakin tired notion that Bush just wants to invade... just cause, find the reason later?

Nice troll... Which candidate (previous ones included) has ever said they would take military action off the table?

Re: Obama Plans To Invade Iran

Bush isn't in the race, but it shows that dems aren't playing fair. If it's okay for Obama to leave that possiblity open, then it should be okay for McCain/Palin and our current leader, President Bush.

who said that it was not?? i think most are more critical of the possibility that the mccain bush approach may ONLY be considering the military option...

What is it that indicates to you that they wouldn't try? I mean we're talking about a country, Tehran the capital that has a museum honoring suicide bombers.

They've said they would do it, are we to take them for their word, or just do a wait & see?

Something tells me you ignored Osama bin-Laden's threats during the 1990's as well...dismissing them as the rantings of a religious lunatic?
