#1 Oh good! Another war! This will surely work, unlike the last 88 times we tried it.

Say, what was the last war the Pentagon won? There hasn't been one this century. In fact, they just lost to 8th century goat herders. How are they planning on winning a real war against a tough adversary if they can't even win against primitive screwheads?

The question answers itself, doesn't it? They don't want to win. They just want another war. More Americans to decorate the cemeteries in Arlington and more returning home with blown-off limbs or shattered psyches.

We're sick of war. The idea of kids, just young American kids going to war in Iran when it doesn't benefit the American people in the least is even more sickening to me now than ever.

#2 Unfortunately we're at the point where we can choose to fight Iran before they get the nuclear bomb or choose to fight them after they get the nuclear bomb. Either way while a commie puppet sits in the white house.

#3 Either way we will lose the war because our generals not only can't win, they don't want to win.

Sometimes the only winning move is not to play.

#4 Israel needs to bite the bullet and handle it despite America running interference for Iran, just like they did Iraq and Syria. We have articles in the Rantburg archives dating back to 2003 detailing their concerns, and other articles from time to time revealing some of their actions delaying what some shrug off as inevitable — bugs in the program controlling the centrifuges, flaws built into purchased parts and equipment, assassination of some of Iran’s nuclear scientists and the clear subornation of others, and the glorious raid on the Tehran project files warehouse.

#6 All to conjure a sense of struggle and hopelessness.
Leading to the breakdown of a failed regional state.

Odd that Iran hasn't acquired (bought/given/stolen, gifted from Mo) a nuclear device in the 20 years since their most recent manifestation.

#7 "It is better to have a distance of a few months and not just weeks," US sources quoted as saying; 2015 pact envisioned Tehran would need a year to amass enough material for bomb.

'Did I say never? I meant, ten years!'
'Did I say ten years? I meant, a year!'
'Did I say one year? I meant, a month!'
'Did I say a month? I meant, weeks!'
'Did I say....
