Sen. Bayh: Force should be on the table in stopping Iran from getting nukes

[Joanne98]

Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) said Sunday that the White House needs to consider the use of force against Iran to keep the country from getting nuclear weapons.

Bayh, speaking at a roundtable discussion on the opening day of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference, said that the administration should go through the motions of proceeding with planned tougher sanctions against the Islamic Republic, but cautioned that they probably wouldn't work and that the White House should be prepared for the worst-case scenario.



"We need to go forward with aggressive sanctions that are likely to hurt the regime... but that's unlikely to work," Bayh said. "Now we have to turn to contemplate the final option -- the use of force to prevent them from getting a nuclear weapon."


"...In the long run, you have to do what you have to do," he said.

3. That worked out really well with Iraq, huh buhbayh?

and Bayh says this after the majority of REPUBLICANS in congress say the Iraq invasion was a huge mistake.

actually, this sounds like political masturbation for the AIPAC money.

nevertheless, it's a stupid position to take.

5. What would Sen Bayh think if

China decided to use force to make sure we didn't build any more nukes? Or any to begin with?

Who the fuck do these people think they are?

What? Iran shouldn't be allowed to have nukes? Why? Because their leader is a nutcase? Yeah like our people with their finger on the button are any less loony... gimme a fucking break. This is all we fucking need right now, a 3 front war isn't enough for these assholes. And people wonder why I don't trust them to "fix" the health care bill. The arrogance festering within our politicians, on both sides of the fucking isle is disgusting.

6. Lets see. We have Iran surrounded from all sides with the most lethal military ever amassed

And we need to be scared of them?

I think some quality time at the Betty Ford Clinic might do Evan some good?

Evan needs to get well. Before he hurts himself or others.
