...They voted for the color of his skin, not the content of his character.

Blacks didn't elect this guy, white suburban youth who are plugged into Facebook and You Tube elected this pop culture phenomenon. Just like Carter. The kids believed the B.S. When the dems hook the youth, they win. Kerry lost because he is scary looking and Gore is even worse... remember the kiss and the lump in his pants? Dems are sick people.

Isn't that splitting hairs? Taking out their nuclear program is taking out their nuclear program, however accomplished, don't you agree?

I completely disagree. A strike implies a wholly integrated allied or US attack using our equipment and training with at least a measurable calculation for success. An insurgency in THAT location using the word sabotage implies something very different. The only way access could be reasonably had under those circumstances would be using local assets and that is a very problematic equation.

A STRIKE would bring to bear overwhelming firepower and ordnance, not to mention sophisticated electronics and the highest quality personnel in the world.

Leaving 007 out of this, you're telling me that a bunch of disaffected Iranians are going to throw an effective monkey wrench into all of the myriad of targets that will need destroying? I don't think so. Unless you think they're going to pull a reverse Jihad attack by delivering a nuke and blowing themselves up?

If you listened to Rush or read okie’s reply, which was absolutely correct, you’d know that Rush didn’t get it wrong, the American people got it wrong.

During WWII the media wasn't full of unpatriotic anti-American zealots.
