Election Season Wild Card: Covert Operations Against Iran, al Qaeda
War being waged in the shadows could end up in the spotlight
But some crises could benefit Obama as well. A sharp new spike in violence in Iraq, for example, could swing more support to the Illinois senator, who has pledged to begin a steady drawdown of U.S. troops soon after taking office. And if the crisis in Pakistan gets a lot worse, Obama could remind voters of his frequent message that Iraq has been a costly distraction from the main front in the effort against terrorism, which has been Afghanistan and Pakistan.

lols' Rubbish!
Wow! Such fury from a rabid Neocon! What a bunch
of hardnosed rubbish -- keep it up and one of these
days "righteous fury" will land in America.... Then,
rather than your words, "Exactly, destruction of Persian
people and property. That does not concern us...." will
become, "Exactly, destruction of American people
and property. That does not concern us...." Violence
breeds violence, and it will soon appear in your own
back yard!
RE : Practice before you PREACH
Dear undereducated Moron, Your statement "The only country that used nuclear weapons is our own.It killed millions of innocent life in Japan." .if erroneous.
Try to read a book sometime and do some research.You will find this fact :
"The bombs killed as many as 140,000 people in Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki by the end of 1945,[3] roughly half on the days of the bombings."
That is only 220,000 not the "millions" you imagined.The fact is the US bombed two major industrial centers, not a major population center such as Tokyo.
You would not know this because obviously you dont read, but Hitler,Stalin,Mao tse tung a and about a half dozen other Dictator/conquerors were individually responsible for the deaths or tens of millions of innocents EACH.
Even the recent tsunami in the indian ocean killed more innocents.
We were in the middle of a war at that time and the bombs were used to knock out the industial base of Japan to force Japan to surrender.Hitler was also trying to develop and use a nuclear weapon before Germany was defeated and believe me he would have used them.
Since that time the Soviet union has threatened the US many times with nuclear destruction and even put their missles in Cuba as a direct threat.
China as recently as 2 years ago threatened to vaporize San Diego if the US interviened in a Taiwan conflict. China will soon have many more nuclear weapons than the rest of the world combined.
Iran has many times theatened to wipe Israel off the face of the earth and believe me if they get a nuclear weapon, they will do just that. We have a mutual defense treaty with israel. Would you prefer to get involved before Iran has a nuclear weapon or after?
You act like the rest of the world is so meek and mild and the US is the only aggressor. I suggest you read some books and newspapers and quit smoking them.
I have many friends from Iran. I can tell you they do not like their current goverment but are powerless to do anything about it.The mullahs that run Iran are a group of about 50 individuals who are all millionares now and run Iran like a Mafia and claim its all in the name of Allah.While the rest of the people are starving to death.
I hope the US is trying to destabilize Iran and is prepared to do what it takes if that doesnt work.
Rememeber that great song from a few years back:
"Bomb bomb bomb Bomb bomb Iran"
Catchy and hopefully one day true!
The Truth of the Bush's Neocon agenda
The Neo Con's Brave New World
Now Bush and Cheney had a problem
That chewed upon their ass
For Iran had operating fields
That were beond their grasp
So what to do about it
How to turn the game our way
We will state they want the atom bomb
Then blow them all away
But we have to play it cunning
For we cant afford lose
We stir up the Israelis to hit them
Then just blame it on the Jews
For Israel is always threatened
When they don’t get their way
And since they have atomic bombs
It makes sense anyway
Since 48 they have cried the victim
And they have that role down pat
For when they fly to strike Iran
We know most wont come back
Here is the strength of our master plan
For we cop it as sweet as we can
We save the aid we give to the yids
And get those oil fields in Iran
