If Israel bombs Iran (which they will), it will largely be seen as a failure of US policy. How long has Obama and the ineffective Europeans been blustering about Iran? How many times have we heard their threat : ” just one more time, and we’re going to impose REALLY tough sanctions, and this time we mean it”.
If you don’t think it’s in the US’ vital interest to keep nukes out of the hand of a radical Islamist state, then we’re just on completely different wavelengths. The fact that we have to outsource it to Israel will just be seen as a loss of nerve and leadership on our part. Also, if you think that the Arabs will just deflect blame from us (for staying out) to Israel, you’re dreaming. No matter what happens, two things will be certain: a) the radical Islamists will blame Israel, and b) they will blame the US.
Finally, for thos who think Iraq was a waste: what do you suppose the Mid-East would look like right now if Saddam Hussein was still in control, with Iran getting ready to nuke up? HE’d be trying to nuke up. Want a recipe for world catastrophe: Iraq and Iran nuking up.
Family Guy being accused of crossing a line?? SHOCKING!
Listen folks, Family Guy lives on the other side of the line around the bend and at the top of a big hill in a town called fuckyousville. The show has insulted every race, color, creed, gender, sexual orientation and disability numerous times. Does anyone remember the episode PeTarded? When Peter is tested and he’s categorized as being legitimately retarded? Now there was some offensive stuff.
So when someone gets all pious and offended by a show that never apologized about being offensive it seems a little silly to me. I’d be much more offended if I were her and one of my peers, on lets say a ‘news’ program, on what’s supposed to be a legitimate new channel were to call someone out as being hmmmmm…retarded I suppose I’d be outraged.
I agree Dibs
there is no reason for the US to do anything with Iran now, we wasted too much invading Iraq and for what?
hopefully we can get “the job done” in Afhanistan and get the boys back in summer, personally I don’t care what goes on over there at all- hopefully they can all come out of the Dark Ages and start making a better life for themselves with/without our trade help

We are very close; every time I tell him something hurts, he asks if he can kiss it better.

Oh yeah…hi everyone!

But that’s just me.
Biff,
Lucky for you, that you have that kind of relationship with your doc.
lesbiman, why would I need a prostate massager when I’m going to see my doctor soon for my annual checkup?
lesbiman, I suspect it’s a good thing that link wouldn’t open on my work computer.

LOL, lesbiman! Did I really need to add a [wink] after my post?!
