Sen. Joe Lieberman is leading a congressional move to push U.S. policy toward a more belligerent stance against Iran by urging President Obama to take action to "prevent the Iranian government from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability."
The key policy change would shift the U.S. objective from preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons to that of preventing Iran from having the "capability" to make the weapons.
The resolution is sponsored by Lieberman, Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Bob Casey, D-Pa., and signed onto by Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and 28 other senators.

Liebermann needs to press a resolution refusing any shoot down order directed at Israeli planes by our Persian Gulf task force. (I believe we have a carrier group in the Gulf or nearby.)
I fear a covert message in JCS Chairman Dempsey’s statement that Israel hasn’t decided to strike Iran.
Thanks nuconvert.
Bah, humbug. Iran will negotiate and negotiate and negotiate, until it has the bomb.
Iran will launch its nukes WHILE IT IS “NEGOTIATIATING”
to the cheers of the Mullahs and Obama and the DNC.
Not if they detonate in NYC or DC. Then Obama and the DNC will be very upset, because of what that might do to the elections in the next cycle.
“Not if they detonate in NYC or DC. Then Obama and the DNC will be very upset, because of what that might do to the elections in the next cycle.”
If that happened, Buckwheat and the DNC will all be shopping for new underwear after they crapped their pants while hiding under desks. God help us if we ever get into a real fight.
And the Iranians are moving the centrifuges to the holycrap city Qom. It's like bombing Mecca - not that I have a problem with that either personally, but if you thought the sandmonkey's were upset over a few burnt science fiction korans, wait until we start bombing Qom.
Might be a good time to admit that islam is the problem and bomb them all to hell.
On February 5, 2012, President Obama invoked the NDAA, which authorizes the use of military force, and issues an executive order declaring the “threat” of Iran a National Emergency.
To expand your point.......
“On February 5, 2012, President Obama invoked the NDAA, which authorizes the use of military force, and issues an executive order declaring the “threat” of Iran a National Emergency. The video below shows this issuance of President Obama executive order which declares Iran’s threat to cut off oil supplies a national emergency.
The executive order directs all government agencies to respond immediately to the threat. It further invokes the authority of the 2012 NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) which gives the President the power to launch military action against any nation without the approval of Congress. Ironically, the State of Emergency order also accuses the Iranian central bank of deceptive banking practices.”

Let’s not forget all the angry chimp noises they’ll make at anyone who does take the lead, right after they’ve done something effective. They did it to Bush. They’ll do it to Santorum or Gingrich, or even Romney.
I’m not convinced Obama won’t shoot down israeli jets instead of fight iran
