Reply #42: Because this is an election year is PRECISELY why they would do it

They know that as soon as the bombs start flying, and we're treated to the CNN/MSGOP/Faux coverage of the latest techno version of the video game "World Conquest" the pResidents approval ratings will go from 33% to 70%. Dems will once again have to temper what they say because "you don't criticize the pResident when we're at war". Rove's got to be chuckling at the prospect of Ted Kennedy having to get up and praise the pResident for his bold action. Then we'll all get in line to "Support the Troops", cause don't you know? "You're with us or agin us"

Meanwhile, a sufficient number of American's will be transfixed by the grainy, slightly green colors and the explosions of flashing lights, and the "breathless" CNN reporters watching the pretty starburst in the sky. Hell! It's better than a Super Bowl Commercial.

In fact, I'd be shocked if they didn't launch war with Iran this year.
