Election Year Boogey Man?

[KLB]

Iran, perceiving threat from West, willing to attack on U.S. soil, U.S. intelligence report finds - The Washington Post
Be afraid. Iran is going to get us.

I am sure Obama will protect us though. Just reelect him and give up some more Liberty and we will be safe.

So now if we get attacked here at home let's just assume it's Iran and bomb the **** out of them, turn their cities to rubble and call it a day.

It really is a shame its come to this.

Little thing about Iran that the news media doesn't want us to find out, but the majority of the people of Iran are very pro-western. Their big problem is they don't have the weaponry to regain their freedom from the ruling group of not so friendly people.

The problem is that we too have to be aware of that ruling group and what they are up to, which seems to be stirring things up as best as possible.

That doesn't sound too far off from the good old USA these days! It's certainly the direction we're moving. The ruling class in Washington and our own MSM.

So if we went on yet another regime-changing crusade, and completely eliminated their current government, what sort of government do you think would take its place? Another Islamic theocracy that hates the west, or a truly secular democracy that wants to be our friend? I know which is most likely based on history, but maybe you can explain how I'm wrong in my assumption that it would be the former?

If he's trailing by double digits in October, Iran better watch out.

Marked.

I find that strangely plausible.

Definitely more likely than my prediction that Obama would lose the election and, on December 21, 2012, announce his refusal to step down claiming right wing fraud.

Then that's the signal for the Park Rangers to arrest him.

I wonder if it will even have to be that bad. If it is even they may be in trouble too.

One more false flag event?

The Park Ranger couldn't even stop Yogi and Boo Boo. I know Yogi was smarter than the average bear...is Barry O?

There's a lot to what you say about many Iranians being pro-western.

When I was at IU Bloomington in the 1970's there were many Iranian students.
They seemed to like the USA and many i crossed paths with wanted to fit in here.

It was during the days of the Shah and before Ayatollah Khomeini came out of exile.

The Iranian students I knew of hated the Shah and wanted him gone.
But none i ever knew of wanted the Shah replaced with a radical Muslim government.

They seemed to like the freedom we had in the USA and wanted it for their country too.

It's because of this I believe if we can handle the radical Iranian government problem, we could come away from it with peaceful relations with Iran.
