President Obama just "Ron Pauled" his big press conference on Iran

[seraphson]

I'm struck by his casualness to bomb Libya and Pakistan.

...and him taking his sweet time to a let a prior president's time clock bill run out to end the war in Iraq.

"That's the first thing I will do and you can take that to the bank!" Ho, heh, yes Mr. President you certainly took something to the bank right away but it wasn't your promises.

I'm struck by his casualness to bomb Libya and Pakistan.

I'm struck by the casualness in passing NDAA ....didn't he put some kind of meme with his signature ,something along the lines of "I didn't really want to pass this but I did" ...

He's worried about the "costs of war".

Only because it cuts into his social experiment.

At least Obama is smart enough to at least pretend to be concerned with going to war on Iran... I'll give him a gold star for the solid pander, but you know he's saying on the phone, "look Isreal, don't f' up this election for me, and then you can do whatever you want".

 

[azxd]

his aids are telling him to say the right thing... if he was to make a move on Iran, then there is a huge chance he loses the election... don't fall for his smooth talk... now, if he wins, expect an attack after the election...

Why am I hearing his Close Gitmo speech, as I read your words

2008 all over again...

I think Obama will definitely attack Iran before the elections. Blood thirsty, warmongering Americans will love him for it, and the people who actually want peace will ignore his actions like they have been doing. I think that would guarantee him another term.

I hope I'm wrong.

attacking Iran will bring us even higher gas prices than we have now, death of more of our soldiers, and innocent Iranian women and children, a likely increase of debt due to borrowing to pay for the war, higher inflation, and a possible threat of WWIII due to China and Russia stating for us to not meddle...you think this will guarantee Obama another term?? i think it would guarantee a republican win....

 

[r3volutionpaul91]

c'mon now, its obvious what he's doing, he wouldn't in his right mind attack iran before the elections, that would almost guarantee ron paul the presidency but as soon as obama gets re-elected, BAM! world war 3

 

[Chainspell]

right now, i just want to cuss to no end

Either that or the word came down that Syria is first.

There is no Iran first or Syria first. They have a mutual defense agreement so it's both simultaniously.

Also, don't buy this for a minute. Both Woodrow Wilson and FDR made great efforts to convince the American people that they weren't trying to get us into WWI and WWII and now we know they were.

Democrats are the real war party folks. You should know that from your history. They also like to get us into wars when all their efforts to fix the economy fail.
It would also benefit Obama's re-election bid to have us involved in a major war because then his chances of re-election will increase exponentially since we rarely unseat a president in times of war.

This isn't sooth saying or conspiracy theory. It's just looking at an "A" and an "F" and knowing that you'll go through B, C, D and E first.

I'm still looking for Obama's "Gulf of Tonkin Incident". Hardly anything will shake my uneasy feeling that it WILL come before the end of his term.

There's no question he's bad. The problem is that 3 of the 4 "so-called conservatives" are worse.

How so? For all we know, President Obama will bomb Iran just like Newt, Santorum, and Romney.

 

[noxnoctum]

I like what he said, but I don't buy it.

I think this is just an attempt to woo his base back.

Anyways, it's an odd state of affairs when politicians are trying to out-warmonger one another.

At least he is saying it.

YES, Obama "might" bomb Iran. But, with Romney or Santorum, war with Iran is FOR SURE.

Especially with Romney http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showth...t-POLL-ADDED&p=4253524&viewfull=1#post4253524 .

In my opinion.
