Two key reason$ the Asshats want war with Iran

[Still Sensible]

and neither has squat to do with support for Israel, that's just a convenient excuse that riles up their base for fund raising and voter turnout. Of course, they also hate Obama and the fact that the president is trying to avoid another war in the region is yet another convenient excuse that riles up their base for fund raising and voter turnout.

First, such a war would benefit the MIC and make some of them and their friends more billions.

Second, such a war would inevitably drive oil prices back up and make another group of them and their friends more billions.

It's all about the money.

1. That is sensible

2. War = Profit

Ka ching!

Ka pow!!!

3. What is really insane about this is that those making a profit off of war have more than enough to

live on. They do not need this money for anything they want. It is just a game to see who can pile up the most.

5. Exactly

The game they have mastered is to take advantage of low information voters using divisive issues, religion, fear and bigotry. That, coupled with the deep pockets of the moneyed class, keep them in power. And likely will until disastrous events or emerging demographics overtake them. This current model has served them well for nearly four decades.

They know the demographics are catching up with them. So now we need to see what new group they will try to add to their coalition in the years to come.

4. I wonder if war with Iran plays into the End of

Days dystopian mythology for any of them? Some of these creatures are desperate for "Armageddon."

6. I'm sure it does

with the batshit Robertson wing solidly in the fold.

8. I am not sure of this but I think that in the rw churches Armegeddon is a war involving all of the

ME. So yes this is another reason they are so eager to go to war.

7. Don't need a war for oil to go up.

In fact, the buzz is oil is going up later this year.
