Reply #12: Funny, this is what, the fifth or sixth time

I've been called clueless for saying that the latest "OMG WAR" event was not actually a prelude to war? All the previous saber-rattlings, the redeployment of carriers, the missing nukes, the stand-downs, the hostages, the diplomat expulsions, the captured sailors, the policy speeches, all the bullshit "leaked information" regarding dates for attack...for all of these, I said, "No, that is not a prelude to war, it is X and will blow over." I was unaware that "clueless" now means "generally correct."

When America goes to war with Iran, it will not be ambiguous beforehand. The last thing we want is a complete sneak attack.
