Poll question: Will we be in a "hot war" with Iran by June
All the signs are pointing that way. But, maybe they will decide Yemen would be an easier war.

1. I think this is another scare tactic
It serves as a way to try to shut up critics of the present war and distract the public from the debacle. "Don't look at Iraq--we have to stay there or else Iran will control everything". They will continue to insist that military force is the only tool we have to use, and in the process will only make things worse.

2. Sometimes I wonder if Kissinger is telling them that Nixon's
"Crazy man" tactic worked.
They want the Iranians to think that these lunatic sons of bitches
just might do something completely nuts.
