Obama less popular on DU than war-making

39. why would I support it then?

No, this President is being advised by a pack of Bush holdovers and encouraged by a very anti-Iran SoS in Clinton. We're certainly correct to be concerned about this administration's continuation of the Bush aggression and anti-democratic interference in Iran's political affairs as well. At this point it's hard to say where Congress would come down on any overt militarization by the U.S. toward Iran. Even less clear where they stand, collectively and individually, on the question of, say, overtly or covertly persuading Israel to take some sort of military action.

I have to say, from the administration's standpoint, it doesn't look good. They have moved to parroting the last administration's chatter about 'underground bunkers' and the like. That's an indication of the continuing influence of the bomb makers whose executives still infect the Pentagon and influence the policy advise the President receives and relies on. Also, he's mostly bought into the scheme to build and sell 'missile defense systems' to Eastern Europe to defend against the boogeyman of Iran somehow threatening these countries with their missiles; even though Iran hasn't threatened anyone, not the U,S,, not Eastern Europe. It's also about Russia, but that's another thread . . .

I do think you're probably barking up the wrong tree debating me on this as some potential proponent of militarization in any form.
