A second American aircraft carrier steamed into the Persian Gulf on Tuesday as the Pentagon ordered military commanders to develop new options for attacking Iran. CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports that the planning is being driven by what one officer called the "increasingly hostile role" Iran is playing in Iraq - smuggling weapons into Iraq for use against American troops.
"What the Iranians are doing is killing American servicemen and -women inside Iraq," said Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.
I doubt that there are too many Americans who doubt that all of this is being trumped up by the Bush administration to give them an excuse to attack Iran which they have wanted to do since the beginning of our Iraq debacle.
So we need our representatives to stand up and say "no more"! No more attacking other countries on manufactured evidence. No more stretching our military beyond it breaking point. No more continuing to drive this country into such deep debt that our great, great grandchildren will still be paying for it.
We need the Democrats that we elected to stand up now and refuse to allow this bullshit to go any further. After all we did not just elect them to get us out of Iraq, we also elected them to keep us out of any more unnecessary wars.
We also need Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to say something. I know that it may put them in political jeopardy, but this is critically important to the future of our country.
We already know where John "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" McCain is on the issue.
"So we need our representatives to stand up and say "no more"!"
ReplyDeleteWe also need military members to do the same, from command all the way to the enlisted. We must stop this insanity of killing others simply because someone tells you to. What more appropriate definition of insanity could there be?
These are ominous developments...like deja vu all over again. These maniacs in office must be stopped.
