      Yes, but of course Rush is "pro-life" so it's okay.

      Hey Rush. Your plane is ready. You go on ahead. The rest of us will wait to see if you make it back. Oh. And by the way. Ride the first bomb down to make sure it hits the intended target. Let us know how it went.

      So Rush is proving that conservatives truly are trying to turn The United States into the great Satan. This is why a lot of countries do not like or trust the US.

      On November 24, 1970, after he dropped out of college and could no longer avoid serving his county in a time of war through student deferment, Rush Limbaugh became ineligible for service due to several in-grown hairs on his rear-end. It wasn't until over 39 years later that he was able to muster the strength to call for massive bombing raids to pound other countries into submission.

      Ah, yes... the next distraction for the Troglodyte GOP base.

      I can see it now... The Republitoads take back the House in 2010. They spend the next two years trying to impeach Obama. Nothing gets done. The Democrats, demoralized and disgusted, stay home in 2012; the Troglodytes elect Scary Palin. Scary Palin drops nukes on Iran, India drops nukes on Pakistan, Pakistan drops nukes on Israel, Scary Palin drops nukes on North Korea, China drops nukes on us.... the world blows up and Jeeeeezzzzzuuuuusssss comes back and takes all the Troglodytes home.

      Then the Democrats take back what's left of the government.

      I can't wait.

        In the unlikely event that there's anything left, Nerz. At the risk of being called anti-American, if Palin was elected president, I'd support massive bombing raids on the U.S.

          Well, when Libya was a 'rogue state', there were those who suggested bombing it.

      Is Iran where the WMDs are really hiding, Rush? Is that where al Qaeda and bin Laden are really operating from?

      If you are concerned with 'irrational religious fanatics', perhaps you'd better take a closer look at the political Party you are currently leading.

      Bush didn't go into Iran, because he had no real grasp of foreign policy and that accidentally worked to his benefit in this one lone instance.

      The economy is actually improving under Obama, not like under Bush before him. I understand that the more poor people there are in America, the bigger your own personal pile of wealth looks, but what's good for your bubble thin ego is not necessarily good economic policy for the country. How very short sighted of you. How very typical of you.

      Did you really just claim that the entire world could be held hostage by one tiny middle eastern country with a bomb that could someday be put on a missile? I think there is a country that still has the ability to destroy the entire planet, what? 15 times over? And, they are facing a rising tide of a very similar group of irrational religious fanatics. They follow a different deity, but it's the same basic principle. And guess what? Not only do you LIVE in that country, but you deliberately stir up the fanatics!

      Rush, quite trying to destroy the world. Considering the wreck you've made of your own life, perhaps you should take a break, and concentrate on the one thing you can control: yourself. Put the pills down, put the little boys down, and see if you can't finally find the courage to become a decent human being. 'Til then? STFU.

      From what I heard on the radio, this hasn't been confirmed, yet, AND the subject well is in the disputed territories. Iraq claims that it is their land, Iran claims it belongs to them. Sounds like something that Iran and Iraq need to work out. Not really sure why we'd want to "bomb them into submission."

        The WSJ had a piece in the last day or so about how our armed drones were being hacked into by insurgents. Apparently, they've been able to do this since Bosnia, but, since the Pentagon is not familiar with the world-wide reach of the internet, didn't think those who we are engaging in Afghanistan would know how to do it.

        What interested me, aside from DoD short-sightedness, was that the author of that article tried very very hard to pin this capability to Iran. I think Limbaugh is just part of the circle-jerk trying to ramp us up into another pointless war.

      Yeah, that'll work. Good strategy there. Pity the generals who have more info and understanding of how things work don't listen to you. Our problems would soon be over if everyone followed the Limbaugh warfare plan.

      Ok, so now that Rush has chimed in, it's pretty clear that the GOP is going to make "War with Iran" a centerpiece of their foreign policy whenever they get back into power.

      Perhaps a few salient questions ought to be asked of the GOP about this war that they want.

      1. Currently 2/3 of our military is wrapped up in Iraq and Afghanistan. You would suddenly go from an insurgent war to a full on shooting war. Casualties would be massive. The US simply doesn't have the manpower to open up a third front without a draft.

      2. How EXACTLY do you keep China and/or Russia from providing material support to Iran.

      3. Most importantly. I could guarantee you that China won't loan us money in order to wage war against one of their main oil suppliers. If they turn off the tap, how exactly do we pay for this war.

      Conservatives literally don't think that there are any consequences for the ideas they trot out.

            That is pretty interesting.

            Republicans are against efforts to reform health care because they don't want to pay their taxes now, and they don't want to pass on debt to their grandchildren.

            They're all for pre-emptive wars, although they still don't want to pay taxes, and have no problem at all passing the debt onto their grandchildren.

            I'd bet that under a "permanent Republican majority" their grandkids would have much greater chances of dying by terrorist attack and treatable medical problems.

      I support a constitutional ammendment automatiaclly and imediately instituting the draft upon a declaration of war by the US. I think it will make us think a little bit harder about the consequences of our actions. I'd now like to add to that ammendment the requirement that any and all radio and television personalities who cried out for said war be the first drafted regardless of age, sex, or health status. Wouldn't you just love to see Rush, Beck and all of the Fox and Friends gang marching off to war?
