The only "positives" of the US going to war in Iraq again...

[LatinsforPaul]

Is that it will raise the US Debt at a faster pace, bankrupt the US quicker, bring on the inevitable crash of the US stock market, and give more voters an opportunity to vote for peace and liberty in 2016 with Rand Paul.

And this is coming from one of the most antiwar peaceful members here, hence my signature.

On the plus side, we'll probably win this time. Or, if it turns into a world war we'll win for sure (2 for 2, so far)

Too bad they couldn't pack up Feinstein, McCain, Obama, and about 500 other people from DC, and throw their a$$es right on the front line.

I'd fully support "boots on the ground" if that were the case.

Unfortunately I don't think it works that way. War will pull the country together... and I don't mean that in a good way.

How does one win an occupation (and with no clearly defined enemy)?

Oh but the enemy is clearly defined: the terrorists that are killing women and children in the middle east. We really have to take the moral high ground on this and show them that kind of behavior won't be tolerated.

By killing women and children ourselves?

The women and children we kill are usually terrorists though. Or family/friends of terrorists. Or neighbors to terrorists. 99% of the time.

So are the one's they kill. Just being related to terrorists doesn't mean you actually are one (BTW: I think family/friends/neighbors, especially neighbors, are FAR more prevalent than actual terrorists.)

YOu can kill the sarcasm now, its getting ridiculous.

I was thinking the same thing. Except I think the end game is the collapse of the dollar not the stock market. The Dow might hit 50,000, but a gallon of gas will be $20.

I voted Ron Paul for president three times.

It appears the terrorists don't care if I can tolerate them or not, just so long as Boobus Americanus has me outvoted.

??? What part of UNCONSTITUTIONAL don't you understand... If we need to go to war, congress needs to take us... there's an argument to be made there (I don't think for one second we should be engaged in Iraq/Syria).

If you are advocating military action absent legal authority, you should really go over to The Weekly Standard where you'd be more welcome...

"Bxm042" needs to add a sig line that says "Nothing but sarcasm. All the time."

Why couldn't we just let Iran and Russia do it?
