Because it would create another conflict that the US would be expected to be involved with? I know I wouldn't like it, neither should anyone worried about the national debt...

I doubt hussein will do anything. he'll lead from behind as always. if anything, he'll condemn Israel.

If Israel really believes this, then we aren't doing anything to stop them from acting on it. Would they like our support, sure. But it doesn't make a difference, imo. They will stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons if they can. I don't think anybody would prefer a deterence scenario. Then again, if all out war is the other scenario, maybe they would...

I'm just making my prediction. I don't have Israeli or US intelligence at my disposal.

All I know is war is a **** scenario when we are fighting deficits.

we'll be watching it from home, i'm sure gas will be about 7 buck a gallon so we'll have no other place to go.

I don't believe it will (we're sitting on so much oil shale here), but gasoline is the least of my worries

Op confuses me.

He complains on the one hand that Obama will try to dissuade Israel from going to war with Iran but then also complains that a war will cause the price of gasoline in the US to skyrocket.

Sorry to ruin your parade, but it's NEVER awesome to see innocent human people die. Not even in necessary conflict.

In defense of Baker, I assume he was being facetious. He supports isolationism and pacifism in most of his posts.

it's doesn't matter how much oil sale we have, it's getting it to the refinaries to make gas. it's impossible to do that now with libs controlling the epa and most court systems.

As much as the Israelis claim they can hit the Iranian sites, in my opinion, they don't have the capability to do so. Sure they have the training and technology capable of it, but they can't hit every single site. Plus the fact that the planes won't make it out alive. The Israelis aren't stupid, they won't hit Iran because they know it will be a death sentence for them. Iran would fire back, Hamas & Hezbollah will open up, Syria will jump and then all hell breaks lose. An Israeli strike on Iran is the worst possible tactical option they can do.

We're the only ones capable of mounting a successful strike on Iranian positions and we don't want to do that. Not to mention the fact they still a few years away from the bomb from everything I've read.

Edit: I even forgot to mention the fact that the Iranians would mine the Strait of Hormuz and really screw up the global economy. Hitting Iran is the worst possible option for everyone involved.

But wait, joevol says that Obama refusing to jump on Iran for Israel is bad. And he also says that it will cause the price of gas to double. So somewhere in this whole thing there is some sort of disconnect....

Iran is making a bomb. Ahmajinedad has called for the destruction of the Jewish state. Ahmajenidad is trying to succeed where Hitler failed. Unless Iran stops the bomb making Israel will act.
