Reply #10: I don't believe it's that easy. [View All]

I recall voices in the Pentagon criticizing Bush's Iran propoganda. The Pentagon is painfully aware of how stretched thin our military is and wants no part of another commitment in Iran. They are not all Petraus lemmings. Rumsfeld is gone, as is Wolfowitz. Bush and Cheney don't have all their wormongering cohorts still in place.

Bush is at least 60 points lower in the polls than he was in the post 9/11 days. His credibility is shot.

And the MSM would also be very wary. Not Faux, of course, but the three networks, MSNBC and CNN would all be very careful. They won't be as gullible as they were six years ago.

Democrats like Kerry, Kennedy (if he is able), Feingold, Dodd, Durbin, Boxer, and certainly others would be very skeptical and would be prepared to take a hard stand, with no fear of political backlash, because they have no presidential ambitions (unlike the IWR situation).
