It's good that they're denying it even if they're planning it. All options are always on the table but don't advertise them.

[SomeoneNeedsToSayIt]

I deny the allegation and the alligator.

[kinghorse]

Ask Biden who's paying him to say that. When the talking points of the enemy and the democrats become indistiguishable is it not time to ask this question?

[kinghorse]

If Boxer can question Rice's stake in and commitment to the future of America, so too can we ask that question of people like Biden.

Allegations! allegations!
nothing but
Baseless b/s
unfounded allegations
without any basis in reality.
those who assert this are an insult to our intelligence!

why would we want to have any military plans against our brothers in peace, Syria and Iran?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Boxers comments were outrageous!

The press is the propaganda arm of the American left and they have an agenda...see this:

U.S. lawmakers voiced concern on Thursday the Iraq war could spread to neighboring Iran and Syria

Earth to solons: There is no "Iraq War". There's a War On Jihadism and Iran and Syria have been the enemy for quite some time. If we DON'T "spread the war" to them we're going to lose it. Sorry, but that's the reality. Those who deny it in order to purchase a little deceptive "peace in our time" are storing up much more trouble for the not too distant future.

[Revenge of Sith]

I'm shocked. I expected the US to confirm it had plans for military action against Iran and Syria...

We can always apologize after the carpet-bombing. "It was dark in the cockpit and on the map the word 'Iran' looks a lot like the word 'Iraq' - I bet it's happened to you." They'll understand.

Boxer has a special knack for infuriating people. Do you remember the scene on the steps of the State Courthouse in Tallahassee back in 2000 when Gore and the trial lawyers attempted a coup? She almost started a second civil war with that showing.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

"This notion that somehow the president was announcing as a precursor to planned military action, a planned war against Iran, that's just not the case."

No, but the US will lots of folks available if Iran get froggy.

And I think she has a Jewish background....but I guess being progressive and all that means leaving that behind...
