I hate to repeat myself but Obama would be making a HUGE mistake putting Evan Bayh anywhere on his ticket. Making him VP will pretty much doom his chances of winning the election. One would think the Dems would have learned their lesson when Gore placed Lieberman on his ticket and lost. This guy is the definition of a Washington insider. He's a pro-corporate DLCer and he's salivating over Iran the way he was salivating over Iraq 6 years ago.
You just hope that we haven't soured an entire generation on the necessity, from time to time, of using force because Iraq has been such a debacle.
Yes, it would be truly horrible if Americans actually learned the lesson of this war, that war is not to be a first choice and should only be entered into cautiously with a good plan for victory.
That would be tragic, because Iran is a grave threat.
The only people who are suggesting we go to war with Iran are neo-cons in America and Israelis who want to get rid of their regional rival on the cheap. Nobody with a brain is suggesting this. Besides, Bayh said the same thing about Iraq so his credibility is nil.
They're everything we thought Iraq was but wasn't.
Bayh is hoping the people of America will let him have his pet war with Iran, despite the fact that he was wrong about Iraq and is wrong about Iran. Why should we believe them now when they were so spectacularly, and intentionally, wrong last time? He knows Iran is not a threat to the US, just as he knew Iraq wasn't a threat, but his corporate paymasters need their money so he's out there again trying to get Americans killed so the CEO of Boeing can buy another yacht.
They are seeking nuclear weapons,
Fool us once shame on you...
they do support terrorists,
fool us twice shame on us.
they have threatened to destroy Israel,
They have a legitimate beef with Israel. They're not stupid enough to try anything against Israel. Even if they did, Israel is more than capable of defending itself. Why should we waste money and lives just so Israel can keep from getting its hands dirty?
and they've threatened us, too.
Bullshit. They can't do a goddamn thing to us. The worst they could do is launch a small attack against our troops in Iraq and if we'd get the hell out of there that wouldn't be a problem either.
