"All our great Presidents were leaders of thought at times when certain historic ideas in the life of the nation had to be clarified." -Franklin D. Roosevelt, September 11, 1932

War with Iran?

Quote of the Day:
People have to stop thinking in terms of "surgical" strikes instead of a far messier scenario that could evolve into something more akin to war...Hostilities could potentially involve elements of Iran's air force, Iranian attempts to take pot shots at American fleet units in the Gulf, and much stepped-up — and perhaps more direct — Iranian trouble-making directed against us and our allies in Iraq.
-Wayne White, former Deputy Director at the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research, on alleged administration plans to attack Iran.

In a post-9/11 world I'm not necessarily against military action when it comes to Iran. But not under this President. And not with his current Defense Secretary leading the charge.
