It's November 7th and Rick Santorum is President-elect: How did it Happen?

52. Also

"With that said, I find it funny you would only post one part of that post. "

...to that point, here's another thing that jumps out at me:

War in Iraq: Huge mistake and we got very lucky

War in Afghanistan: Unfixable. Need to get out

For someone making those two declarations, I found this post strange at the time, but now even more so:

How Likely is a War with Iran if President Obama is Re-elected?

<...>

When put together, this tells me that the Administration really is looking at all options for Iran and that war isn't an impossibility, if the President is re-elected. The other element is that Sunni Arab countries in the region would really like to keep Iran from getting the bomb. They would be the most likely partners in this, I would think.


If I had to put a number on it, I would say that we have between a 10 and 20 percent chance of war with Iran under a second term with President Obama.

Let me be clear, I think this is far better then the GOP entering the White House. Iran is a serious security problem and I trust the President to handle it and I think he will handle it by bring together allies and regional friends to deal with the problem . However, I would suggest that war is still a possibility with Iran, even with the re-election of the President.

Stating that fact doesn't mean that I love war. It means I am trying to describe the World as it is, not as I want it to be.
