In a high-profile policy address before the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared that the US wouldn’t hesitate to use its military to “defend our friends, our interests, and above all, our people” during the segment discussing Iran. She elaborated on the declaration with “this is not an option we seek nor is it a threat; it is a promise.” Clinton also warned Iran that the US offer to hold talks, which she had previously said she didn’t expect to work to begin with, would not be open-ended and that “our willingness to talk is not a sign of weakness.” Today’s comments are the latest in a long line of bellicose rhetoric coming from the Secretary of State. Last month during a television interview she said that Iran was risking the possibility of a US invasion, citing the disastrous 2003 invasion of Iraq as a model. The US has been demanding that the Iranian government abandon its civilian nuclear energy generation program, and several officials have claimed, despite a stark lack of evidence, that Iran is working on nuclear weapons. The IAEA has pointed out no evidence for the accusation exists, and America’s own National Intelligence Estimate says they don’t believe Iran has an active weapons program either.

I count 3 unsecured borders; Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. With 2 or possibly 3 active "insurgencies" bracketing Iran. I'm not sure about the others. Yes. Attacking Iran would be a great idea. It takes freaking geniuses like the MIC, klinton and obamessiah to see that. .
Hark back to another Jew, female Sec. of State Madelin Halfwit, that made the statement, "What good is an army if you dont use it"...
I am going to make a prediction right now. My crystal ball is shattered, and my ouija board got burned up, but that's OK, because I dont need them. We attack Iran, world markets crash like they have never crashed before, and the Iraqi resistance and the Taliban will go on the offensive. I know I would if I was in that position. US forces are already spread too thin. I think they are just biding their time. They will stick to the tactics that have worked, there will be no Tet style of offensive where firepower can be used against massed targets. Resupply will be either extremely difficult or impossible. www.guardian.co.uk/world/2007/dec/27/russia.iran Our navy will be wiped out in the area. From the jew post, we have this cache: 74.125.95.132/search?q=ca...nk&gl=us&client=firefox-a Then things will have just started to get bad. Or good, depending on ones perspective. So Mad Madeline The Jew should have said "what good is an army when it is destroyed". .
I enjoy and respect objective thinking. No crystal ball is needed, but, neither should one be wearing rose colored glasses. In that vein picture the American sheep contentedly grazing...while wearing those rose colored glasses...
