Lieberman, McCain "Pull the trigger on Iran"

[Sstashmoo]

Boy these two sure want to expand our involvement in the middle east!

Just think if these two had won the election.

Quote:"[[CBS/ AP) Senator John McCain said the United States has been backing away from a brewing fight with Iran, while that country moves ever closer to having nuclear weapons.

McCain opened a Senate hearing Wednesday by saying that Iran will get the bomb unless the United States acts more boldly.

Speaking figuratively, the Arizona Republican says the U.S. keeps pointing a loaded gun at Iran but failing to "pull the trigger."

Military and intelligence officials testifying before Congress said Iran's accelerated nuclear program could produce one weapon in roughly a year, if the country decided to go that route.

But Gen. James Cartwright predicts it would still take longer than that to make the bomb usable.

Cartwright said that, historically, it takes a country three to five years to make such a leap. Cartwright is the second highest-ranking U.S. military officer."""

stash you are 100% right...now add Sarah to the mix with her lapel pin and we would be bracing for more decades of violence from the ME...as for Lieberman he need to send his AIPAC card back to his organization and seek a peace that will pull people togetehr verses building his walls of hate...

funny General P and reasonable people in the Military know the reality...but it 's the neocons, some in the state department and some conservatives that want Chaos in the middle east...must we continue to fight battles there for some of our allies and not others...

I wonder if this isn't just posturing by McCain, so he can appear more conservative in the Republican senate primary against a far more conservative opponent.

could be but if we remember his little song of "bomb bomb Iran" in the world of psychology it is called projection LOL
