Could an Iranian crisis redefine the 2008 Presidential race in a positive way?

For some reason the Iraq debacle is currently stuck in limbo with a variety of apparently effective excuses being used to prevent definitive action in Congress. These excuses range from claiming one was a sucker, to emotional appeals based on genocidal concerns or fear of losing national pride.

Short of assassination or immediate impeachment George Bush could at his convenience launch an airstrike on Iran any time before November 2008.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that such action would be a massive debacle so it is a waste of time speculating on a benign or successful attack.


Would this be issue number one and could any of the candidates fail to give a direct yes or no answer on their support? The negative military and economic effects would be evident within weeks so unless the attack was directly before the election any such temporary bump based on national unity would be very short lived. Suffice to say the anger at the gas pumps would be evident within 24 hours.


Short of war would you welcome an Iran War Resolution vote to force a stance by the candidates before they can claim it is water under the bride?

1. I would welcome it, it will never happen. If it oked the attack jr would use it as approval

of his idiotic plan. If it denied the OK the Greedy Old Party would claim it as evidence the the Democratic party can not be counted on to defend AmeriKKKa
