Preparing for military contingencies is what people do in the Defense Department.

Starting a war, however, should be (a) the decision of Congress and (b) in response to an attack on the US or the trade of the US.

Since Pearl Harbor, all American wars have been unjustified.

In all fairness, Obama has been for some time under extreme pressure to attack Iran. And not only from pro-Zionist neo-cons. It’s that petrodollar thing again: if/when the dollar loses global reserve currency status, the domestic US dollar and with it the entire American debt-ponzi economy will quickly collapse. Iraq tried to go of the dollar, and got smashed; ditto Libya. And now Iran is making bilateral local currency and gold-for-oil deals with Russia, India, China. This is serious stuff, not just a matter of one politician. But being as this is a consummate politician, I’d guesstimate that (perhaps preceeded by a nudge from Israel) he’ll do the deed around about September. What then ensues, I don’t even want to think about. Just looked at an IranWar article & thread over at Commentary, incidentally: those neo-cons are quite mad, talking Samson Option.

Obama is power-mad, as are the neocons beating the war drums.

When the continuation of power trumps avoiding the obliteration of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iranians, you know you’re dealing with a sociopath.

Obama has no morals, no integrity, no soul. I give you the 2009 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize!
