The assume the people of this country would approve of war when they state "Everything is on the table." The Republicans have no authority to even state that. Everything on the table is a political dialogue for the GOP, but, there is a lot that has to happen before the USA will ever enter into a war with boots on the ground again. We have been through a hideous war in Iraq and won't repeat it. To return to the Middle East with troops would be a commitment to a forever war and the country won't do it.
As a matter of fact, the Democrats need to make "Everything on the Table" an election issue for 2014.
With the Middle East experiencing so much disarray there is no way the USA is going to declare war on Iran and CONTAINMENT by bombing of nuclear and/or military facilities of any country is as far as our military involvement goes. We are not going to war with Iran with troops, it won't happen and if Iran ever thinks they will invade Israel, they need to think again. They'll be stopped before they reach their own border.
If Republicans believe entering the word prevention into the dialogue with the country will automatically TRIGGER another war in the Middle East they are completely "W"rong.
McCain's best opportunity to forever war in the Middle East is only 90 days without the intimidation of Congress to approve a War Powers Act. McCain wants another Rumsfeld that will do anything to push the Congress in THEIR BELIEF war is necessary to protect the national defense of the USA. So, to McCain, he doesn't want Hagel because he might actually have something to say to Congress that would never justify a forever war. And quite frankly, that is the absolute truth. While Hagel would never blink to defend the country he also won't be manipulative to put unreasonable pressure on the nation to go to war.
Prevention is bullshit, it has no place in the national dialogue. Forbid McCain should be disappointed because the country has committed to containment, but, not war. Too bad.
Cut the military budget and get on with the sequester. The Republicans have until March to ADJUST where the cuts are happening. They should get on with it, March is around the corner, especially considering the House is never in session. The House has turned the work week into a four day weekend. They need to pass a bill for the entire country reflecting their pathetic calender so we can all have the same time off to spend the fabulous salaries we all make.
This is such a joke, Lindsay Graham assaulted Hagel today after he backed a woman who testified to fantasy at the Senate hearing on guns yesterday.
