They are anti-war unless a Democrat is sitting in the Executive Office.

Sure that is the case, EagleSmack. Republicans haven’t come across a war they didn’t like, except when it is started by a Democrat. That is why Republicans opposed the Kosovo operation tooth and nail; it was started by a Democrat, Clinton. While Clinton was bombing Kosovo, Republicans were involved in highly political, partisan impeachment of Clinton (for having sex with his intern, exactly the same thing that Gingrich was doing at the same time as he was ranting and raving against Clinton).

What does that have to do with what I said?

So I agree, Republicans are usually very fond of war (maybe it is the Manifest Destiny, maybe it is the glory, pomp and glamour they associate with war, maybe it makes them feel patriotic, I don’t’ know), except when a Democrat is in the White House. Political opposition to a Democrat comes before any love of war.

You're agreeing with yourself. I'm happy for you.

So for YEARS under Bush the left proclaimed that Bush WOULD invade Iran. Not that he might but would before he leaves office.

EagleSmack, if the Iraq operation had gone smoothly, Bush very likely would have invaded Iran. I still remember the heady days just after USA drove Saddam out and took over Iraq. The insurgency was safely into the future, and everybody thought that Iraq war was over.

There was the talk of coming American empire. After all, USA for the first time invaded and captured a country which had done no direct harm to USA, so why wouldn’t it do the same to other countries, like Iran? I remember one British professor wrote an essay describing how the coming American empire was going to be more benign and longer lasting than British Empire. Bush had an approval rating of over 90%.

So if Iraq operation had gone smoothly, Bush very likely would have invaded Iran and American people would have supported him whole heartedly (at least until the operation turned sour).


Conjecture, You are still blaming Bush for what he had done would have done and lets not forget might have done. What ever happens with Iran will be on Obama's back, not Bush.

The U.S. would have enver invaded Iran. (bomb them maybe) I would like you to think of the logistics of anyone invading Iran, and thinking they could win.(hint start with population)
